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

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

I hope you\u2019re all well.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m ready for a nap, on account of I didn\u2019t get home until 2:30 last night after having a fantastic evening spinning Northern Soul 45s at Spindletop @ Botanica<\/strong> in NYC.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the area and haven\u2019t checked out one of DJ Perry Lane\u2019s <\/strong>Monday night fiestas, you\u2019re really missing something. In addition to his own excellent taste in sounds he brings in a wide variety of guest DJs to whip their wax on the assemble multitudes.<\/p>\n

I find it to be an especially groovy experience because I get to play whatever I want for an extended period of time, which is exactly<\/em> how I like it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m all for dropping a tight half an hour to forty-five minute set, but nothing beats being able to settle in with a box full of hot 45s for the long haul, building a wave and riding the crest for as long as the 45s and the vibe holds out.<\/p>\n

Thus is the bag that I\u2019m in when I hit the decks at Botanica.<\/p>\n

Last night was an especially groovy experience for a few reasons.<\/p>\n

First, I brought my favorite Northern Soul sides, a genre I don\u2019t really get the opportunity to spin that often, especially over a period of a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"Example\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yours truly (right) and the legend, Matt Weingarden aka Mr Finewine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Second, none other than the mighty Mr. Finewine<\/strong> fell by and he brought Andy Noble<\/strong> of Kings Go Forth<\/strong> with him. Nothing like having a little funk and soul royalty in the house to get things going.<\/p>\n

I was also able to record most of my set this time. Aside from some early technical glitches, I walked out of Spindletop last night with over two hours of soul grooves packed tightly onto the SD card of my digital recorder.<\/p>\n

In spite of the fact that I was running on about three hours sleep today, I managed to finish up next weeks Funky16Corners Radio Show,<\/strong> and edited down the raw files from last night.<\/p>\n

When I was done, I had broken it down into four sets, all around a half hour in length.<\/p>\n

It took me a while to decide what to do with all this goodness, but in the end I figured I\u2019d try something new.
\nSo, what you\u2019re going to get is a new half hour mix every day for the next four days in nice, manageably sized chunks.<\/p>\n

When they\u2019ve all been posted, you can string a few or all of them together in a playlist, flip your wig and cut yourself a nice piece of rug.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be returning to Spindletop on March 21st, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements in this space when that date gets closer. Of course you don\u2019t have to wait until then to head down to Botanica. DJ Perry Lane does his thing every Monday night.<\/p>\n

That said, I\u2019m going to go pass out somewhere.<\/em><\/p>\n

See you tomorrow with Part Two.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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