Also, the folks at Truth and Soul have a special Tribute to Isaac Hayes EP they put together, with the El Michels Affair covering songs such as “Shaft,” “Walk on By” and “Hung Up On My Baby.” Check for it!
And just to complete a trio – Matthew Africa has re-uppped his awesome “Twee Funk” mix of children’s soul/funk records again. Don’t sleep!
Matthew also links to this killer performance of “Hot Pants” by Jimmy Briscoe and the Beavers which has to be seen to be believed. Straight from Soul! (damn, that show was good).
