Mmmmmmmm!

Greetings all!

I first gathered these food-related mixes together for Thanksgiving 2011.

Since the Grogans will be chilling together this extended weekend, I thought I’d repost them for you to stuff into your ears/iPods/whatever.

There’s even a turkey song!

Don’t forget to tune into the Funky16Corners Radio Show this Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio. If you can’t dig it at airtime, make sure to subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen in on your mobile device through the TuneIn app, or grab an MP3 here at the blog.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, have a great weekend with your friends and family, and I’ll see you all on Monday.

 

Keep the faith

Larry

Greetings all.

It’s time for the final installment in Funky16Corners Rewind week.

But first, I should remind you that this (and every) Friday night at 9PM, the Funky16Corners Radio Show takes to the airwaves of the interwebs on Viva Radio. If you can’t hang at broadcast time, you can always subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, where the weekly episode will pop up on Saturday, or grab a download here at the blog.

The final rewind mix this week is another personal fave of mine.

‘Honey Trippin’ is an hour of disco, disco funk, funky disco and all permutations thereof.

There are some old, familiar faces, some more obscure selections, and hopefully a couple of surprising left turns.

I hope you dig it, thank you for your indulgence in this week of recycling, and I’ll see you all on Monday.

 

Keep the faith

Greetings all.

Welcome to the middle of Funky16Corners Rewind week.

This time out we have an old fave of mine, a Northern Soul mix that I did for the good folks at the Hook and Sling blog back in 2008.

‘Baby You’ve Got It’ (title take from one of my personal Top 5) is one of the first Northern-style mixes I did, and I still dig giving it a spin now and then.

You get stops in Philly, Chicago, Detroit, LA and several other points on the map.

The set list is packed with classics from beginning to end.

I hope you dig it, and I’ll be back with some funky disco on Friday.

 

Keep the faith

Greetings all.

Welcome to another week here at Funky16Corners.

This week we’re going to try something a little different.

The fam and I will be vacating (to a degree), something that we haven’t had the time, will, or ability to do in nearly a year.

I was wondering what I should do to fill the time (and space) in which I would otherwise be actively bloggifying, and it occurred to me that I’d had a suitable idea simmering on the back burner for some time.

As you already know, the Funky16Corners Archives are packed to the rafters with mixes (around 150, maybe more).

You might also be aware – mainly because I’ve said it here before – that I created these mixes as much for my own ears as for those of the readership. As a result, some of these have entered a significant rotation on the old iPod, and can often be heard spilling from the windows of the Funky16Corners-mobile as I roll through the highways and byways of central New Jersey.

That said, I thought (with a touch of ego, natch) that some of these deserved a second airing, so that those that missed them the first time out (or folks that don’t have the time to download and plow through that many mixes) might have a chance to dig (them).

I’ll be posting three different selections – personal favorites all – over the course of the week, one funk, one disco and one Northern Soul.

The first of these, which you see before you, is a selection of heavier stuff that I put together for my friends at Soul:Good over in Russia back in 2009.

‘Ape Hangers’ (Google it) may be new to most of you, since I discovered that I never got around to including it in the Guest Mix Archive.

It’s 49 minutes of heavy funk and funk rock that packs enough heat to get you out of your seat.

I hope you all dig it, and I’ll be back on Wednesday with some soul.

 

Keep the faith
