 <\/p>\n

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

This begins a “best of” week here at Funky16Corners, devoted to classic ballad mixes from the past.<\/p>\n

I am in the process of organizing this year’s Funky16Corners Allnighter\/Pledge Drive<\/strong>, as well as working on some crucial reorganization here and at Iron Leg.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Funky16Corners had been a going concern, from 2000 as a webzine, and then from 2004 on as a blog.<\/p>\n

I started doing the Funky16Corners Radio Show back more than 8 years ago on Viva Radio, and when that stopped being viable, went independent as a podcast in 2010 (almost exactly seven years ago), and starting the Iron Leg Radio Show<\/strong><\/a> in May of 2011.<\/p>\n

If you have been following the goings on hereabouts, you will have noticed that as of two weeks ago, I have commenced a live, weekly show called Testify!<\/strong> for WFMU”s Give the Drummer Radio.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The weeks spent assembling\/configuring the home studio, and the freedom (literal and figurative) associated with doing live radio have moved me in the direction of some changes.<\/p>\n

The first change, still conceptual but very likely to take form soon, will be to originate all of the podcasts as ‘live’ shows and then archiving them as podcasts to be downloaded\/streamed at your leisure in the usual places, i.e. iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher etc.<\/p>\n

The second change will be to limit the amount of actual ‘blogging’ published at Funky16Corners and Iron Leg, commencing the evolution from old-school blogs to a full scale podcasting\/broadcasting outlet.<\/p>\n

I have been giving a change of this nature quite a lot of thought over the years, especially because of the drastic reduction in blog traffic since the early days of the boom.<\/p>\n

This is not to say that I don’t enjoy the written aspect of the blog, but that in my own heart, and seeming in the hearts of the audience, the audio end of things seems to have supplanted it.<\/p>\n

I still have a lot of work to do, and will be applying myself to that work in earnest over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

I’m aiming for the launch of the 2017 Allnighter near the end of June, and will likely spread the launch of the mixes over a longer period of time, as well as reworking the fundraising aspect of the event.<\/p>\n

As these things come into a finer focus I will communicate them to you here and on the various and sundry radio shows.<\/p>\n

So, dig the mixes this week, keep your ears pointed toward all of the broadcasts, and I will keep you all in the loop.<\/p>\n

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

Speaking of original vinyl, the flow of it into the Funky16Corners Blogcasting Nerve Center and Record Vault<\/strong> has continued unabated, and inside that tidal wave of wax has been a goodly amount of those classic soul ballads.<\/p>\n

As a collector\/appreciator, I came to the world of ballads fairly late in the game, but I have been making up for lost time.<\/p>\n

So prodigious has been the accumulation, that I felt the time was right for a new ballad mix, so here it is.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of southern soul in here, but also a couple of stylish west coast items, with stops in Chicago and Philadelphia as well.<\/p>\n

As they say on the streets, ‘It’s all good’, but there are some highlights that bear mentioning.<\/p>\n

You have to check out Andy Butler’s<\/strong> very groovy take on Bobby Womack’s<\/strong> ‘Take Me’, hardcore honky Steve Colt’s<\/strong> old-school JB-isms in ‘So Far Away’, the lo-fi, gospel-inflected perfection of the Invincibles’<\/strong> ‘Heart Full of Love’, Ike and Tina<\/strong> bringing it on the b-side with ‘Too Many Ties That Bind’, Carl Hall’s<\/strong> epic ‘You Don’t Know Nothing About Love’, Gloria Jones<\/strong> covering Rodge Martin’s<\/strong> ‘When He Touches Me’, the mighty Soul Clan<\/strong> and ‘That’s How I Feel’ and reliably genius contributions from Mable John, Homer Banks, the Soul Brothers Six, Grover Mitchell, William Bell<\/strong> and many more.<\/p>\n

What you get here is ‘Funky16Corners Presents: Same Time, Same Place’<\/strong>, an hour of the finest soulful pleading, shouting and wailing, reaching back into the amen corner, and out into heartbreak alley.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been spinning this one non-stop\u00a0since putting it together, so you know it\u2019ll be good.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it (spread the word), and I\u2019ll see you all on Monday.<\/p>\n

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners<\/strong> on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
