400: an E-milestone!!!

Hi.

Yup, it's time for a little celebration.

For the 400th time I put together all my musical merits,

my well-eared experience, conjured up all of my so-called

muses and what not...

Finally I decided I'd make it into a mega 400 tunes comp,

10 tracks a theme, x 40 times, so there wil be a lot

of (familiar) grounds covered.

Sometimes literally, ofcourse.

I hope you folks out there have enjoyed this little 

blog-o-mine as much as I did, oops that sounds a bit like

I wanna quit & make this 400th landmark into a final goodbye...

Well, OK, you got me there.

Maybe it's time to call it quits, plenty of stuff out there,

so I know I won't be missed much, let alone my crazy comps and 

random thematical terror...

Point is that sometimes my comps get dl-ed over 250 times (or more)

and no one even bothers to say a little thanks, or leave a complaint,

suggestion or any sign of life "on the other side".

And yes, that bothers me. Somehow, it hurts.

This being said, I wonder whether I can stop blogging.

To be frank, I like making thematical comps, putting my addiction

(to music) in a more or less meaningfull direction.

Wow, I realise this IS a milestone, not only it being post 400,

also me beginning to grasp why the f#c# I am going to all the 

trouble of maintaining this little blog...

Deep shit.

Hope you folks enjoy what's here, and I wish you all

a healty digestion of these tunes.

Have fun!

396: another twice as nice...

 Hi.
This will mos prob be the last post before the holiday hiatus.
So I made it into something special [:-)
There are 3 songs taken from the FANTASTIC Playing For Change
project, please visit the website and check the video's!!!
-
Again a wide array of songs, styles and what not...
I included loads of horns, hammonds and other holiday-worthy
ingredients for a 3 hour 3 minutes chillaxin' trip.
So 20 tunes (21, if I include the bonus material!) get their
cover blown twice, I lost counting, but it is one of my favourite
themes to post (in the top 3 besides Hammond & What Is Funk? maybe)
-
And, yes, before you ask, in the comments there is
a 15 minute bonus, a tribute to a series we enjoyed very much.
-
Happy holidays, have a good one and don't forget to check
in again here over at E-mile Says by the end of august!

Hi.

Today finally a new episode of the beloved
Hammond orientated posts!
I was in a bit of a shock when I realized

WTF?

But, sofar 2012 has not been such a good year for me
in the blogging sense of things, you know, general life
and other time absorbing stuff got the better hand of me,
and that is OK (by me), hope you fellas understand [:-)

Long story short, here it is, another VERY FINE mix,
concentrating on the mighty B3, some funky, jazzy, soulful,
bluesy and jamaican grooves for a great summertime siesta!

Enjoy this 2 hours of holy Hammond hospitality [:-)
