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
Larry
