The Soul Strut "Raer" Live Stream
RAJ said:RAJ said:ketan said:That was great!Are you controlling the video at the same time?Thanks... Yes! I have a stream deck controller in front of my mixer that controls all the cameras and media. Huge balancing act but a fun challenge.
That is a really cool setup, I can't think of any other video'ed mixes I've seen where you can peep the covers, the turntables, the whole scene, and silly psychedelic film clips all mixed live. Most people just set up the one camera. No half measures.
Enjoy the music too obviously - the Shadow mix was great
Thank you! I've put a lot of thought, time, and $$ into this. It's been a labor of love and it's something I felt I needed to do to pay homage to all the great artists talked about on this site over the years. My goal is to do at least 100 episodes. I do wish I was getting more traction with the viewership, though, but I guess that will come in time. It's hard to stick out with all the noise. The conceptual mixes like the Shadow one has boosted interest quite a bit. So I expect to produce more thematic mixes like that in the future.
Dude I'm all about themes! Suggestions
OH JESUS: All cover versions of Put Your Hand In the Hand that DON'T have a break
0% FUNKY SOUL: Songs with "funky" or "soul" in the title that are neither funky nor have soul (I was thinking about starting a list of these on discogs, but why bother)
CONCRETE JUNGLE: Back before musicians really knew what to do with synthesizers they just made random bleeps with tape splices and shit and called it Music Concrete (accent grave over the "e", I think). It was the future of music! So anyways, just play that shit with a sped up Amen Brother break looped in the background. For an hour. BAM. Concrete Jungle.
OH I GET IT: Puns and double entendrees. No music, you just read titles, like "The price you got to pay to be free"....and then you wait a little bit and then it's like "free usually you means you don't pay.... get it?". On to the next one....
I'm telling you. This shit is hot.

Record Store Day 2020
Nothing earth shattering but I was happy for my first trip out in a decade. In particular I was really happy to get the Howard Roberts record. And Tomita’s version of Claire de Lune is my favorite. And the Gary Burton record is mostly weirdo jazz but his version of Norwegian Wood is beautiful. And the Herbie Mann record doesn’t suck either, believe it or not. His version of “I’m coming home” is good.I probably spent more than I should have and there were a few duds (not pictured). One of those Timmy Digalot RULES- just because it has the word “soul” or “funky” does not mean it will have soul or be funky. Even if there are Afros on the cover.
