Good morning my people, or good afternoon if you are like me and you are rising a bit late from an evening of revelry. I spent last night with friends at Bumpshop, a monthly funk & soul party on the west side where residents Chairman Mao, Finewine, Jared Boxx (Big City Records) and David Griffiths hosted the legendary Kenny Dope of Masters At Work. We got it in, to be sure. Shout outs to Mao, Matt, Jared, Kenny, Mike, Daniel, Josh, Ari, Ritchie, Osore, Asaf, Mark, Dave, and all my weoples that I got to chop it up with.

Now on this Sunday I find that I am not scared, therefore I did not go to Church. But what I did do was upload one of the most sublime and touching gospel LPs I own… it’s a completely unknown 4 man group from Connecticut (Stamford and Bridgeport, to be precise) and if you are into lo-fi, sounds-like-it-was-recorded-in-a-tin-can private issue soul music this is for you. There’s a full band, so it’s not exactly like Otis G. Johnson or what have you but… well let’s just say that the spirit shines through on this one. You can find the funk on “Wade In The Water” but my personal favorite is “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” which is simply heartbreaking. Enjoy.

btw, I’ll work on getting some cover art up tonight.
