spooky soul, 60s funk, 80s funk, hip-hop, jazz...all that firme goodness, with a touch of the macabre! also featured: a few songs with guitars that i couldn't resist.

(last year's october mix: 12 tracks of sleepy/spooky)

p.s. i apologize! i've used that doris & kelley song twice. but it's just that tight.

o.c. smith - baby, i need your loving

i love anything and everything that sounds like a marching band. uptempo, horn section, polyrhythms in the distance, glockenspiel in the chorus...!

especially surprising to hear because the majority of o.c. smith [that i sampled on youtube] is smooth near-easy-listening.

milkways - galactic reaction

french cosmic disco, italo synth

wonderful

perfect mix for a rainy morning

Modcast #89: Architecture in Helsinki

the boys in the band have made a 45min mix in anticipation of their european & american tours! and it's pretty friggin good! thanks to methsoradden for the link.
