Greetings all.<\/strong><\/div>\n

I hope that everyone is grooving on the good will and brother \u2013 and sister \u2013 hood of the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Obviously not everyone celebrates Christmas, but we can all soak up the peace and goodwill that floats in the ether this time of year.<\/p>\n

This has been a big year for Funky16Corners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first quarter saw the move off of the free WordPress platform onto our own server space, which \u2013 despite any technical limitations yours truly might be encumbered with \u2013 worked like a charm.<\/p>\n

This May saw the \u2018opening\u2019 of the Funky16Corners Soul Club<\/strong> series of live DJ sets, with contributions from lots of groovy people, as well as number of my own sets from various and sundry DJ gigs.<\/p>\n

Thanks go out to all of you who once again contributed to the yearly Pledge Drive, which kept the Funky16Corners empire solvent for another calendar year. Your continued generosity makes me glad that I started the blog six years ago. In fact, it just occurred to me as I write this that I neglected to mark the sixth anniversary of the blog this past November.<\/p>\n

Such is the chaos of my daily life that I neglected to remember, let alone mark the occasion.<\/p>\n

Another groovy milestone that we marked in 2010 was the rebirth\/re-engineering of the Funky16Corners Radio Show <\/strong>on Viva Radio.<\/strong><\/a> The folks at Viva were nice enough to bump me into a better time slot, and I responded by changing the way I do the show, hopefully for the better. We continue to broadcast every Friday night at 9PM, followed by uploading the show every Saturday so that you fine people can pull down the ones and zeros and append each week\u2019s broadcast to the MP3 delivery device of your choosing.<\/p>\n

On the DJ front, I\u2019ve been up to New York City (and will be again on January, 10 2011, watch this space for details), down to Washington, DC (thanks to the mighty DJ Birdman<\/strong> for facilitating the journey). Hopefully 2011 will provide more opportunities for me to pack up my record box and hit the road, and (if all goes well) maybe even the return of the Asbury Park 45 Sessions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New Year will also see the return of our sister blog, Iron Leg, where we\u2019re in a 60s pop\/garage\/psyche bag. Real world commitments caused me to put the blog on hiatus a few months back, but I\u2019ve decided to bring it back \u2013 albeit with an abbreviated posting schedule \u2013 in 2011. I\u2019ll be posting a year end wrap-up mix today, and regular posts will recommence next week.<\/p>\n

So, once again, allow me to say thanks to all of you for stopping by and engaging in our ongoing conversation about music and how it moves us.<\/p>\n

Since the fam and I will be out and about visiting family, I\u2019ll be dropping the mix you see before you and taking the rest of the week off.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve gathered the best of the upbeat and funky tracks from the past year and whipped them into a nice little party mix that you can play during your New Years Eve festivities (or whenever you need a lift).<\/p>\n

There are lots of faves, plenty of funky rhythms with which to set loose your caboose, and enough grooves to grease your way past Father Time and into 2011.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and that you all have a safe and healthy rest of the year.<\/p>\n

Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry<\/strong><\/p>\n

NOTE: There’s no accompanying zip file with this mix, since all of the tracks included have appeared here individually this past year.<\/strong><\/p>\n
