The folks at The Fader recently invited me to write an installment of their Vinyl Archeology column for the issue that's coming out this week. (Jonny Paycheck and Urrs both did columns of their own in recent months, too.) I wrote about Twee Funk???roughly speaking, 70s soul releases that followed in the wake of the Jackson 5???s success???and recorded a 28-song, 69-minute mix, which you can download for free here.Here's what's on it:Jackson 5: ???2, 4, 6, 8???Promise: ???I???m Not Ready for Love???The Voices of East Harlem: ???Can You Feel It???Starborn: ???Funky Piper???The Young Gents: ???Big Things Come in Small Packages???Starborn: ???Real Real Thing???The Nation Survivers: ???Get Down???The Posse: ???Come Out and Play???Wee Three: ???Get on Board???Jackson Sisters: ???I Believe in Miracles???Family Plann: ???Come On Let???s Do the Breakdown???Greer Bros.: ???We Don???t Dig No Busing???Reginald Milton & the Soul Jets: ???Clap Your Hands???The Eight Minutes: ???I Can???t Get No Higher???The Voices of East Harlem: ???So Rare???The Sylvers: ???We Can Make It???The Sylvers: ???I Don???t Need to Prove Myself???Foster Sylvers: ???Misdemeanor???The Sylvers: ???Don???t Give Up the Good Life???The Sylvers: ???I Aim to Please???The Sylvers: ???Stay Away from Me???The Sylvers: ???Fool???s Paradise???The Sylvers: ???I Know Myself???The Sylvers: ???Only One Can Win???Foster Sylvers: ???Big Things Come In Small Packages???The Eight Minutes: ???Find the One Who Loves You???Ponderosa Twins Plus One: ???Bound???Family Circle: ???It Doesn???t Make Sense???Holler if you dig it.

    This is such a fantastic mix. Wish you would have made this one in June so I could have cruised around with it during the summer.

    You gonna do anymore like this?

    Thanks, dudes. I'm glad the mix is getting felt.

    You gonna do anymore like this?

    Probably not. I love the music, but I don't think doing old soul and funk mixes is gonna get me where I wanna go.
