Sometimes the sun comes out on a chilly winter afternoon, and you really badly need a touch of funk and soul to take the bite out of the air and put some spring back in your step.
So as an early cosmas present for ya'll: have some brightness for your winter. Apologies for a few re/x/posts on these, elsewhere, but - Here's some awesomely retro tracks you should have in your holy-shit-it's-cold-out playlist to add some kick-step in your snow-shuffle:
Kylie Auldist - No Use
Kylie Auldist - Community Service Announcement
The Bamboos (with Kylie Auldist) - On The Sly
Belleruche - The Itch
Plan B - She Said
Plan B - Praying
Quantic Soul Orchestra - Melodious Wayfarer
Jon Kennedy (ft. Aime Corridan) - Spellbound
Spanky Wilson & The Quantic Soul Orchestra - When You Are Through
This is obviously a cover, and the original version of the cover (this) was recorded in 1968, BUT it's been recently dug up, and Spanky Wilson has been performing it again with Quantic Soul Orchestra, so... soak in the awesome:
Spanky Wilson - Sunshine Of Your Love
Mr. Scruff - Music Takes Me Up (ft. Alice Russell)
Deadly Avenger - We Took Vegas
The Heavy - Sixteen (Repost to this blog, but it's awesome and belongs in this playlist, so stuff it)
And OK, so this is also a cover, and doesn't have the funk of the above tracks, but DEFINITELY the soul... love the pipes on Alice Russell (most of her greatest tracks aren't available on youtube, so, sorry), and here is her version of Crazy:
There - that aughta keep you all entertained for a bit. Have a funky, soulful holiday!
