    Happy birthday, keep it erudite.

  • Thanks folks. Looking forward to enjoying the day tomorrow (it's not technically my b-day yet where I'm at).

    In celebration of my 35th, I'm sharing an old mix-CD out of my archive:



    I originally put this out back in the '90s (at this point, I can't even remember when) and have never brought it back into rotation. It was a concept mix of a sort, inspired by Sole Sides, whose name obviously inspired my blog's. Unfortunately, I don't have a tracklisting available - ya'll will just have to piece it together yourselves .

    I>Soul Symphony - Side A/I>
    I>Soul Symphony - Side B[/i]
    Password = gimmesoul

    Thanks to Motown for helping me out with a clean copy since my original master had gone to shite.

    Here's the track list:

    1. Ride the Train Intro
    2. Three Sounds - Look of Slim
    3. Bobby Franklin's Insanity - Bring It On Down
    4. O'Donel Levy - People Make The World Go Round
    5. Ramon Morris - People Make The World Go Round
    6. Ron Carter - Attica Black
    7. Leon Spencer - Where I'm Coming From
    8. Odell Brown and the Organ-Izers: The Weight
    9. Melvin Van Peebles - I Got the Blood
    10. Hydra - Headed Interlude
    11. Hey, Hey Big Boy Outro
    12. Hook My Foot interlude
    13. Richard "Groove" Holmes - Song For My Father
    14. Charles Kynard - She
    15. Harold Alexander - Mama Soul
    16. Odetta - Hit Or Miss
    17. Once OST - The Crab, The Turtle, The Pelican and the Horse
    18. Stardrive - Stardrive
    19. Spaghetti Head - Funky Axe
    20. Say What Interlude
    21. Giorgio - Tears
    22. Richard Roundtree - Lovin
    23. Amen To God Outra

    Right on, thanks for this!

    now STOP WRITING SON.

    I've been wondering: what's the story behind that?



    Also: I would like to note on this day that Oliver was the inspiration for the word "disconnected" as we use it today on SoulStrut. Specifically, in a fit of pique, the one Shied informed him that he was more disconnected from the skreets than any other writer currently working.

    I would have preferred to have been the inspiration behind "the mack!" graemlin but hey, you take what you can get.

    And I forgot you did up the whole "STOP WRITING SON" quote. I get this advice a lot, for different reasons.
