these old "internet radio shows" i used to do

also hell yeah i'm leaving the typo in the tracklist. that schitt has been sitting on the wayback machine for twenty years, who who the hell am i to correct it [/i]now[/i]?

ahhh, code typo in a post about an ancient incidental typo. that's some good shit.

anyway, my vote is "one nation under a groove" with room to think about it before committing. i am considering a troll vote for harvey mandel.

okay, here's the link to what's available on spotify in the "correct" order.

and some corrections we get to the stuff that's only on youtube—

captain beefheart + the magic band — "little scratch" (1971?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTQmbIXkUuA
correction: not everything was from vinyl! there's no way we had this on vinyl, nope. not at that time. this was sourced from the dust blows forward. i misspoke, my bad! it will happen again, but it will be just as meaningless. 90% of this stuff was from vinyl. close enough. and yeah— why wouldn't this be a good follow up to a brass-heavy donny hathaway singalong?

funkadelic — "knot just (knee deep)" (1979)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlJ3s9TNcuM
"part one" a/k/a side one of the 45. how is this not on streaming!?

flaming ember — "filet de soul" (1969)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=talFxyzh7-g
detroit whiteboys playing that tried and true soft pop with an r+b slant. every once in a while they let loose and did a good old fashioned funk instrumental. the group changed their name to "mind body and soul", which was also the title of the song on the a-side of this 45.

cannonball adderley — "lovers" (1975)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztUIejBbVcw
one of the mainstays of the show; always had cannonball on! shame this album isn't on streaming. very timely smooth jazz.

gil scott-heron — "angel dust" (1977)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRQgviNNZEM
another voice that showed up very frequently, we eventually did an extended 2-hour all gsh show.

still undecided in my choice.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

this is cool. back in the day i used to make mixtapes of random mp3s i downloaded off, like, napster or some shit. you'd have like fred frith doing a solo live version of "muddy mouth" and it'd go into screamin' jay hawkins doing "i put a spell on you". lots of prog rock, particularly van der graaf generator, but i was kind of moving past prog rock by that point in time.

would love to see the tracklists on those!

i also had a slow jam themed cd-r only series called "playin it cool" and it was actually really good; rare grooves and chillout room sounds with some forethought put into the running order. no clue what happened to those.

also i might be changing my vote to cannonball.
