We Carry On

Global financial turmoil, wars in distant or domestic lands, personal tragedy, failure or complacence, any number of discouraging obstacles. But humans have the capacity to overcome and move forward - we carry on.

I'm not posting this now because of any particular recent frustration on my own part, and this mix is in fact from last May. I just re-read the title and started thinking about what it could imply, and it's actually quite hopeful if you think about it. Heaven knows whole populations have overcome mountains more than I have ever been faced with.

~~

So this mix isn't centered around any heavy theme I preface it with above. Again I just took it on the fly and started with a track I dug off a recent acquisition and tried to embellish with whatever else was recently inspirational or at hand. It takes a mellow turn at a later point, and then fully regains its raw energy for the finale. Carry on.

Eddie Bo - R.I.P.

Bucket's got a hole in it - a serious hole.

New Orleans giant of funk and soul Eddie Bo passed away March 18th, leaving behind a most impressive list of songs, and a hole in your bucket.

According to Wikipedia, he "released more single records than anyone else in New Orleans other than Fats Domino." In a seriously bumpin' musical town like the Big Easy, that ain't easy. Check your bucket, and when you find the hole, fix it up with this tribute mix compiled from some of Eddie Bo's many 45's, put out by RnB45.com

MOGGS: amulat EP

The wait is over. After a mind-boggling array of pressing issues, we can finally enjoy the latest MOGGS release, amulat EP, on vinyl! Although it has been frustrating being privy to the delays, it was well worth the wait. Available as digital download from iTunes since November '08, dj slow has been thoroughly enjoying this EP via pod for a while. But as any vinyl-phile can attest, the real deal is just so much better - especially when it's a completely analog recording and has been as meticulously produced as all MOGGS output is.

Aided by a different guest musician on each track, amulat EP carries the drive and focus of the previous full-length, The White Belt is Not Enough, while MOGGS and contributing friends bring new sounds to the mix that further embellish their gripping, singular take on contemporary independent music.

Have a listen to amulat EP on MySpace, and pick it up on vinyl at the MOGGS website fast, as there is a limited quantity of 300 beautifully packaged 12" records available. If you're in the Bay Area, be sure to catch them this Thursday night at Casbar in Santa Rosa, CA. Their live show will give your neck the workout it's been needing since the last time you saw them.....
