What's a cubit?!?!?

Some brand new vintage sounds today... well a couple years old, but that's close enough to new for me...



So when you're the man, like Gilles Peterson is (and yes I have a huge man-crush on the guy, deal with it), sometimes really cool people make songs especially for your radio show, and then you get to release a killer compilation of those songs made especially for you, in order to really rub it in. Here's one of said tracks, from L.A. Soul Jazz collective Build An Ark, which is a loose bunch of local cats teamed up with a few heavy hitters such as trombonist Phil Ranelin, wind player Derf Reklaw, singer Dwight Trible and my old pal, the ubiquitous (in the L.A. scene anyway) Carlos Nino putting it all together. And the sound, well it's plucked right out of 1972, lemme tell ya...

Build An Ark - The Blessing Song (Take 1 Mix for Worldwide)




And you know, this popped into my mind almost immediately...



Peace and Love, yo.
