This is killller. http://btjunkie.org/torrent/What-It-Is-Funky-Soul-and-Rare-Grooves-4-disc-box-set-1813925-209/37832604bd801e597e0337c2de3f86f92a937a69b064 "91 tracks deep and five hours long, this multi-artist, 4-CD set mines rare, renowned, legendary and little-known grooves from the vaults of Atlantic, Atco, and Warner Bros Records! Too many reissue compilations are content to merely slice 'n' dice familiar catalog choices in not particularly original ways. But this four-disc, 91-track trove of obscure '70s R&B and funk from Warner-distributed labels, great and small, argues there's still treasure to be gleaned from studio vaults -- a five-hour groove-fest that's as interested in shaking booty as in opening ears. Even the genre's groundbreaking usual suspects (Wilson Pickett, the Bar-Kays, Curtis Mayfield, Earth, Wind & Fire, et al) are represented by selections that aren't immediately familiar, while Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin serves up a radically different, previously unreleased take of "Rock Steady. Still other stars contribute their sonic touches to some of the lesser-known cuts, as witnessed by the patent trippiness of Sly Stone alter egos 6ix and Stanga on "I'm Just Like You" and "Little Sister," respectively. The stark, party-not-so-hearty contrast of the Mayfield-written-and-produced "Hard Times" by Baby Huey & Baby Sisters and the Meters' version of "Tampin'," released under the moniker of the Rhine Oaks. Sequenced in rough chronological order, it's a savvy window into a musical evolution as well, with the rhythmic guitars, organ swells, and horn flourishes of traditional '60s R&B giving way to sinewy synths and increasingly chunky bass lines as the decade grooves on. While savvy hip-hoppers will note that shrewd mixers have already repurposed many of the rarities here, it's a revelation to hear them in their original form. A compelling deconstruction of an often cliched and too-narrowly-defined genre, this is an anthology that showcases music that has influenced such contemporary artists as Tupac, the Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, and Kanye West, annotated by many of the original musicians who set the dance floor in motion.

http://www.queenwestmusicfest.com Big free show in trinity bellwoods park sasturday august 21st... we're headlining it... on from 6-7pm. Free! And there's a beer garden.

Man... you gotta get down there too. I've only been once, but it's something else. Definitely one of the most magical cities I've ever been and played. I'd love to be able to get deeper than the day I spent there in the French quarter. Maybe it's a bit of the having been there that makes the show that much cooler for me. Although.... I've also been to the depths of the worst parts of Baltimore, and that doesn't make the Wire any more appealing... although that was after having finished the series. Eek.

How far'd ya get? Like The Wire, I found once I got a handle on the characters (which didn't take too long for me) I was hooked. I even went back and rewatched the first few episodes once I got the hang of it. But should a good show grab you right off the top... or does it take time to really get invested in the grit of a series to get the full worth of it? I wonder... I recommend a second try.

Just finished watching Season 1 of this show... pretty amazing. Anyone else diggin this? from wikipedia... Treme is an American television drama series created by David Simon (The Wire) and Eric Overmyer. Tremé is a neighborhood in the city of New Orleans. The series begins three months after Hurricane Katrina where the residents of New Orleans, including musicians, chefs, Mardi Gras Indians, and ordinary New Orleanians try to rebuild their lives, their homes and their unique culture in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricane.

Man... Bob Weir is lookin like a cartoon canine hobo sidekick these days. Someone should buy him a moustache trimmer.

Everything started to shake... and I could hear my house cracking and shifting. It freaked me out, and if it would've lasted any longer, I would've cracked a beer. Actually, I'm gonna crack that beer anyway.

Burlington Sound of Music Festival! Friday June 18th Tim @ 7pm Collett @ 8pm Trews @ 9:30pm Should be a blast, and there's tons of other great music over the weekend... including the New York Dolls Ssaturday afternoon! http://www.soundofmusic.on.ca/schedule.php

Awesome. So good to see that band... the energy of the tour opener was unreal with the band and the audience. Made it pretty much right up to the front, and loved every note.

I checked the youtube channel out, and it worked for me!!! No Hotspot Shield or anything. I couldn't figure it out.... Then I remembered... I'm in Chicago.

Great fuckin show!!! Very tight, sounded great. And... I called the down with disease opener on the way to the venue. Me and the wife were about 15 feet back from Page all the way until the end....

I'll be in Chicago on Friday!! Haven't seen them in 7 or 8 years... I'm stoked!

I liked the ending, but couldn't agree with you more about that Rocky Top.

I think 10:30ish...
