8.28.09: New Playlists and Song of the Week
Hey folks! I’ve been lagging behind in the playlist department but there was SO much new stuff last week that I wanted to get the latest one up there… check it out on the Podcasts & Playlists page.
And I was pretty psyched this week to get a nice email from the son of Priscilla Rollins, singer of the wonderful sister-funk classic Obeah Women. If you haven’t heard it, its a big old funky slab on Roulette with what can only be described as COMPLETELY mental, Bahamian-tinged backbeat. Her son found me from a post on my old website where I had the tune in a playlist, and was hoping to get a copy…I pointed him (and will duly point y’all) to the awesome Australian comp, The First Days of Funk. Lots and lots of rare and wonderful stuff on those discs, and they’re worth every penny. So Obeah Women is the song of the week this week, and I’ll be dropping it at peak time at the Rosebud this evening–cheers to you Ms. Rollins!
