240: Devilish doings, part 5

Hi.

Today an 18 track helluva comp, in which all songs

in some way (or another) have dealings with the devil.

Good and bad are all flavours of the same pie,

I think one can't exist without the other either...

It ranges from all different musical angles, blues, jazz,

rap, klezmer, punk-funk, soul & even a bit of disco...

Yeah, the devil's work is never done,

I dare you to dwell a bit in my fifth delicious devil-doings

and remember that most of you co-bloggers are a

delightful mob of deranged & difficult dwellers...

No pun intended :-)

-

Be good, be safe and above all: Enjoy!

240 devilish doings part 5 (RS-156MB)

239: with an "E" please...

Hi.

Today a workout on a idea I got from a track on

my dearly beloved Last Of The Hipmen CD...

One of the splendid tracks is titled

"With An "E" Please",

and

coincidentally

my first name starts with that character also...

-

Anyways, a link is quickly made in whatsever

left of my brain, so here you have it,

a nice & diverse 16 track mix

on songs that have a thing for the "E"...

and yes, my lucky number happens to be 16, so...

"E"njoy!

238: What is F.U.N.K. vol.5

Hi.

Today a fresh workout on the eternal question...

"what the f*ck is funk?"

Several answers to this tricky question can be

found in some older posts I did over here,

I guess the answer to this enigma isn't one

that's tied to a genre, era or even artists...

It's just the FUNK!

(though some of the today's solutions

are a bit onthe "smoother" side!)

-

Go for this fifth instalment,

and while you're at it,

try not to forget that the funk isn't

always what it seems to be...

even if you thought so all your life....

-

Hope you'll enjoy these ones - again -

I musn't forget to thank all the original bloggers,

without whom this freaky funky festival

couldn't flow forever freely ....

(you know who you are!!!)
