Luther The Love Man

Here's one you might not expect from me...



... but I've been on a bit of an '80s R&B/Dance/Boogie kick lately, so get ready... it's that "big Kentucky Fried Chicken eating motherfucker" Luther Vandross, ladies! Drop those panties! I'm not saying I'm a big Luther fan, per se (because slow jamz are for GIRLS!)... but this is a nice little funky number from '82. Dig it..

Luther Vandross - You're The Sweetest One

You know it's from the '80s because he's wearing a sweater on the cover...

Grandpa's Still Got It

Old guys trying to stay hip can be pretty sad indeed. But not in today's case...



The trio Azymuth are legends of Brazilian music, mixing in Jazz, Funk, even Disco and House at times... you would almost call them "fusion" if that wasn't such a horrible (as is any word that instantly invokes the visage of Kenny G) word that should never be used to describe music that is actually good. But their willingness to mix in these popular styles has in the modern day resulted in them being willing to have their music remixed the shit out of... to often spectacular results. There have been multiple Azymuth remix compilations, the latest being reworkings of their 2011 record Aurora. Here's one from the fantastic Mr. Ashley Beedle...

Sweet. But to see how good these three old geezers really are, just take the next hour and check out their recent performance from Gilles Peterson's Brownswood basement via The Boiler Room...



Suck on that... AND GET OFF MY LAWN!

I've been on vacation and it's been a minute since the last post... so let's not fuck around and just drop a quick 'n' dirty House Music Friday on that ass...



Here, the mighty Inland Knights take Azealia Banks out behind the shed and do some naughty things to her... which, from what I gather, she's probably okay with...

Inland Knights - Same Talk (ht)

Man, those guys are good. And here's where I promise to post more often... again...

Assorted Boom-Bappery

I've always been somewhat hesitant to do a Old School Hip-Hop mix because A) There are sooooooooooo many of them out there already and what can I really say with this mix that hasn't already been said?... and B) I don't scratch and what's a Hip-Hop mix without scratching? But then I got stoned and said fuck it. Because 4THOFJULY'MERICAFUCKYEAH! Listen, Download, Enjoy...
