The Clinton Administration - “You Can Make It If You Try” - Take You Higher. Incredible supergroup does an album of Sly and The Family Stone covers. Some gorgeous pimpstrumental playing here folks from an album only available in “Russia, Belarus, Ukraine or The Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia)”. Iron Curtain got that funk.

Little Roger & The Goosebumps - “Stairway to Gilligan’s Island”. Featured in the movie “Copyright Criminals” (on NetFlix), staring a slew of folks I know - Jeff Chang, Mr. Len, El-P, RJD2, Bomb Squad, Clyde Stubblefield, DJ Q-Bert, Greg Tate, etc.. Enjoy the mashup that made Robert Plant and Jimmy Page want to strangle someone’s little buddy.
Sesame Street “Pinball Song”

Yak Ballz mixed by DJ Melski - Urb Radio Podcast. A nice long mix of one of NYC’s finest flame spitters, courtesy of URB.com circa 2008. Yak is a quote machine, T.C.K..
Chris Dave laying down drum roll grooves over Portishead and Bob James cuts with the drums removed. So fresh, so effortless, I can’t wait to see him back D’Angelo’s new tour.

Bill Withers - “Ain’t No Sunshine” - Live at the Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972.
Watch James Gadson, the drummer, show you the art of cool. That cat is fresh to death.
D’Angelo & The Testimony - “Sugar Daddy”.
I am mad. D’Angelo is touring in Europe (actually playing in Paris right now). The above clip is live in Stockholm, Sweden. If you have his decade old live recording from Stockholm, this should bring back memories. I am mad that I’m not there watching this live right now.

Jimmy Castor Bunch - “It’s Just Begun”. RIP to the man who wrote the definitive b-boy anthem. To this day, you can drop a needle on this groove and b-boys and b-girls worldwide will come to attention. The intro horn line is like a call-to-arms for a breakdance battle, a warning sign for wack crews to leave the dancefloor and make room for those with juice.

Isley Brothers - “Harvest For The World” - Harvest For The World. Gorgeous music and message. I need to get my Isley Bros’ chamber in order. I’ve been sleeping. Though i must say, it’s really tough to match the beauty of this song with the gear these cats were wearing on the album cover, but hey, the 70s were a unique time. Right on soulbrother!
