LASHAWN COLLINS, "WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW" (SINCERE) this has always sounded to me like the great lost summer car radio hit of 1970...(1969? 1971? anyone?)

i'd tap.

some brooklyn-label 45 heat off the top of my head: jimmy jones, "say amen brother" (jody) big al & the star treks, "funky funk" (double m) lyn taitt, "steppin' up" (randy's) jablonski, "soul makossa" (randy's) uh...louie prima, "brooklyn boogi…

Can anyone think of another artist that recorded for both labels besides (Mable John)? Kim Weston. Major Lance. oh, and of course don davis did some early motown session work (and tons of other detroit stuff) before leading (detroit's) drama…

Can anyone think of another artist that recorded for both labels besides (Mable John)? Kim Weston. Major Lance. j.j. barnes...though the motown stuff wasn't released (till recently).
-
could it be that because a lot of great motown stuff is on 45 and there's no equivalent to the stax boxes 1, 2, and 3 that people think stax is better? motown is endlessly deep. funky, doo-woppy, soulful, surfy...it's all there, believe me.
-
wow, i've always hated this argument. as a lover of both labels, i've got to give the nod to motown, though, because there's just more of it, and a hell of a lot more variety in it. but the standard line that some folks spew about how motown is so "…

yes, i have the creations single. i always thought it was the brothers of soul...same credits as on their records. i'll have to dig it out...god only knows what damn pile it's in...both sides written by bridges, knight, eaton. i'm not 100 percent co…

that creations single on zodiac is a nice one: "footsteps"/"a dream." according to "soul harmony singles 1960-1990," the members of the group at the time of the recording (august '67) were al green, curtis rodgers, palmer james, and gene mason. this…

i don't think it's the weight that causes the burn so much as the needle not being exactly perpendicular to the record...it's gotta be straight up and down; when it's at an angle, even a slight angle, you're fucked.

there's only one popular song i can think of that uses yiddish, and it was a big damn hit: "all this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter 'bout schmatte, schmatte, schmatte...i can't give it away on seventh avenue" so you're in good c…

DO IT! Yiddish is part of the American vernacular just the same as African American words like "cool" are. If you feel ok using shmuck in your everyday language then use it in a song. Yiddish is not a religious language. Never was. It is a langua…

I've never paid for the early admission on Friday afternoon, but if you're not going Friday evening, I wouldn't bother at all. Saturday's a waste of time. Might catch some bargains late on Sunday. wow, gotta totally disagree with this! i've bee…

jackie harris, "no kind of man" (chess) also came out as "don't worry 'bout de back door" on, i think, intersoul

caught her in new orleans at this year's ponderosa stomp and she had half the audience in tears (including me) because she was just so damn beautiful in every sense...best singing performance i've seen in YEARS, and it was only her second gig in dec…

nytimes obit had interesting data about his reading habits...dude started reading things like homer and shelley and keats at 10, and was known to walk around quoting chaucer...

if dude will be playing mono recordings, he's going to want a mono stylus for the best fidelity: the groove's shaped different, and you need a mono needle to hit it just right. you wouldn't want to use it for stereo recordings, though. amazing what …

TONIGHT!!!

ground rules question: when we quote from???or present in full???an article from another source, shouldn't we always cite the source? the thing about the dutch politician is from, i think, the new york times magazine. yes? i know i read it somewhere…

2. The "Brand New!" vocal sample is not Sharon Jones. you sure? isn't it her from "the dap dip" on the very same lp? m

hotsauce84: i don't see how you "fucked up." it doesn't take an ethicist to see that what you did was just. what is this, some kind of "honor among thieves" bullshit? how lame. seriously, i don't get it. what i suspect is going on here is that you…

i always though she looked emaciated, slightly drugged, and much too depressed. Record nerds always to try to act like she's bangin', when she looks like a heroin addict. Somebody finally said it. I think the pose is more sexy than she hers…

aw, man, i'm sorry. I KNOW HOW BAD THAT SUCKS. one of the worst days of my life was about five years ago when i left a box of records on the subway in new york...i tried quickly to remember what was in there and write everything down...but for month…

manually spun my bedroom turntable backwards as a teen and heard w/my own ears "turn me on, dead man" on the white album...but is that a false memory? or a 16-year-old's wishful thinking? has it ever been confirmed?
