The Musik Lounge

So after recording Tuesday evening and simeltaneously losing my internet connection I sat on this until today - yes a day early, but I'll be on the road and didn't want to stress about getting two posts up ( TML Radio coming !) tomorrow. Rob came through with a few nice joints, including a great track from Mulatu Astatke and a classic Motown jam! I kicked it off with some fresh latin meets disco with some funk influences from the Salsoul label. But you didn't come here to read my blabble, enjoy this weeks edition of Sundays of Soul - a day early!

It's that time once again! Sundays of Soul in full effect. While it took us a few weeks to get back on top of things, Rob and I are gonna deliver the soul to you for the next few weeks and hopefully find a way to keep in going once I depart the 6. After some technical problems we got everything straight and dropped a few tunes live from the 308 straight to you - I hope y'all are having a great weekend and that this will be the soundtrack to your afternoon! TML Radio #4 on it's way...

So... I said I would give ya'll a Sundays of Soul on Sunday regardless. Then I talked with Rob on Sunday and he was down to come through on Monday. He did. I got lazy (and sick) and didn't want to post it that night, and Tuesday came around and I just never did it. So here it is, Sundays of Soul done on a Monday and delivered to you on a Wednesday. Better late than never right? Get your groove on! See Gran Tornio .

Took a break last week, but I'm right back at it with ten soulful jams for your Sunday evening. Mixing it up this week, you'll find a bit of everything in here including some Jazz and a couple modern cuts that have been impressing me as of late. Sundays of Soul, Vol. 6 Eddie Kendricks "My People... Hold On" Rick James "Mary Jane" Barrington Levy "Under Mi Sensei" Joy Denalane "Stranger In This Land" Mandre "Money (Thats What I Want)" Sahib Shihab "S.M.T.W.T.F.S.S. Blues" James Brown "Sometimes" Amnesty "Free Your Mind" Eugene McDaniels "Outlaw" Keyshia Cole ft. Nas "Oh Oh Yeah Yea"

That might just have to be the offical S.o.S image? What do y'all think? And to whoever I jacked it from, thanks! One day I will have photoshop to utilize those few skills school gave me... This week I start with some live Jazz soul fusion and end on some modern psychedelic rock type shit - it's all over the place as I'm holding it down for solo, but you know I'm hitting you with those soulful joints! Sundays of Soul, Vol. 5 Marcus Miller "People Make The World Go Round" The Smith Connection "Wish I Had You" Sweet Charles "Soul Man" Edwin Starr & Blinky "We'll Find A Way" The Pharaohs "Freedom Road" Big Maybelle "It's A Man's Man's World" Donald Bryd "Stepping Into Tomorrow" Michael Franti & Spearhead "What I Do" Baby Charles "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" The Mystic Moods "Cosmic Sea" Mr. Chop "The Infinity Machine"

Whether this is how you spent your Sunday or not, the sentiment is all that matters! Rob came through this week with some fine blues selections and your's truely was all over the map from that gritty grimy southern funk to clean and crips disco soul.

One of the many short lived series I ran on the PI blog was called "Soulful Sundays" and it's purpose was to give the people some good ol' soul music on Sunday, the day of rest. Today I present to you the first in what will hopefully become a weekly podcast feature. Maintaining my old theme, I've teamed up with a collegue, Rob, to deliver "Sundays of Soul Vol. 1" both as a podcast with some commentary from the two of us, or as a zipped folder for you to get just the tracks.
