Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
This one's extra good. Seriously.

If you're burning it to a CD, set the gap between tracks to zero seconds to get it all to fit. Earlier ones are here.
Y'know, some of this is gathered off Usenet, but I've found most of it through some jaw-droppingly amazing blogs that just pour out this stuff. Particularly Nikos, Four Brothers Beats, Oufar Khan, and Home of the Groove, but the blogrolls on each of those are treasure troves too. Incredible work they do, and they're keeping a lot of this music from just disappearing altogether.
"a hamhock in your cornflakes"
...and a "joint rolled in toilet paper" back at ya...
Thanks, looking forward to hearing!

Big fans around these here parts. I predict PK will be boogying as soon as I get this downloaded...
Posted by: bitchphd at May 26, 2008 02:41 PMDon't forget this super-funky James Brown performance.
Posted by: Gaijin Biker at May 27, 2008 06:09 AMDigging it. Funky16Corners looks like a good site for this kind of stuff too.
Posted by: Clownęsthesiologist at May 27, 2008 08:36 AMI had been hoping "Fever" would be on the next mix ever since you posted that video. Thanks for another great one.
As much as I usually don't think the RIAA's arguments about file trading are at all realistic, between you, Sifu, and DS, I have no interest whatsoever in buying CDs to find new music to listen to.

Oh, and it is. There are just so many excellent sites dedicated to this stuff. There's also this whole set of sites dedicated to Brazilian funk, about which I know next to nothing.
Posted by: apostropher at May 27, 2008 09:32 AMHave you discovered pandora.com yet?
Go there, and search for Kashmere Stage Band.
The playlist that creates will keep you funkked for days.
I used to use pandora a lot, but kinda fell out of the habit. I'll punch up that playlist, though. Thanks for the tip!
Posted by: apostropher at May 28, 2008 10:16 AMVery good indeed. Tested it out this morning on our near-two year-old and she was dancin and boogeying feverishly to it.
Anything that makes two year old gals dance and twirl is A+ in my book.
