Got a couple o' msgs recently from people tellin' me they're missin' the semi-frequent playlists I used to include in the ON/CL days. So here's some o' the stuff that's doin' the round's on the hi-fi; Lotsa ol' Rocksteady (esp the ' Treasure Isle Showtime' LP on Heartbeat, the sleeve sez it all; 'It's like popcorn; hot baby, hot!)", the Blues (as always, w/ Elmore James and Otis Rush gettin' the most spins these days), comps from the Soul Jazz 'n Preasure Sounds labels (two great re-issue labels in their field), the 'Lookin' Good' comp on BGP (cool R&B/Soul mod-grooves), the Leg Hounds (prime Devil Dogs-type punk-R'n'R), Creedence Clearwater Revival, early Stones (two perennial faves) and finally the Nitwitz - Rock & Roll Conquistadores. in MP3 format (If that new album is gonna be anywhere as good as this, it's gonna be damn near lethal!).
So there you have it, I haven't seen the future of rock'n'roll over the past few weeks, but this here stuff is pretty much what has floated my boat recently.
