Blog This Way!

July 26th, 2009

Here comes the weekly blog roundup again – a couple more nice writeups here and there, I think the initial coverage is finally cooling down – I managed to pull in over 100 reviews, and they were all pleasant-to-awesome! I’m very grateful!

And before I get started, I’d like to direct people’s attention to one of the original Philly soul bands from the 1970’s, The Stylistics. I’ve been a fan since I was wee, thanks to my white Jewish dad’s curious love for Philly soul… been listening to their first album all morning, today, and it just slays…

Here’s two tunes of theirs to peep:

“You’re a Big Girl, Now” (Best-feeling drum-beat EVER)
“Betcha By Golly Wow”

And now for some bloggage:

nickjamvendetta – “The sounds feel as if it’s from an 80’s movie that was dubbed onto VHS, but only highly produced to sound from none other than a gold plated 808… This release is bursting out a plain ol’ bunch of fun funk for the day or night”

Longon, ON: Burgeoning Metropolis – “Sounds like its taken a backing track from a hidden song from M’Js Off the Wall and… well, it just has a very 80s feel”

Lemoncat [Blog in Madrid] – “Electrofunk popero desde el Bronx, con muchos synthes, guitarreo y vocales con humor. Buen EP, ecléctico e intenso” ["Electrofunk popero" may very well be the coolest thing anyone's ever called me]

Chic Moustache Club [re: Parker & Lewis remix of PAP] – “A new remix of Pink and Purple (THE track which is now parts of my heart and my daily ‘Life is cool’ training)”

Too Much Happiness – [re: my Phoenix remix] “This remix is smoke city… by the far the best version of 1901 out there right now”
