A lil bit of history
2008-09-09 07:13:06
A few days ago, I’ve found a great wordpress plugin to check broken links and edit them from the dashboard. There are many broken links thanks to instable free hosts that has gone down with our files. I know it’s frustrating to hit them once in a while as a reader. That’s why I’ve taken [...]


Undomondo Radio Show #63
2008-09-09 02:23:03
Here’s a show no less jazzy than my others. Essentials like Art Blakey, funky 70s, a pinch of jazzy hiphop and even some jazz for secret agents by Ingfried Hoffmann, one of my recent found gems. I’m in your radio, tapping your jazzy listening pleasures on a bi-weekly basis:) Stream from Archive.org Curtis Mayfield – Kung Fu Ju-Par [...]

Undomondo Radio Show #64
2008-10-06 08:21:14
After nearly a month’s break, here’s #64 of our show. It’s kind of a wrap up of the best of what I’ve been listening last week. Tried my best to put them into a narrative but don’t know if I’ve succeeded. One thing I’m 100% sure of is that all of them are top notch [...]

Stacy Epps
2008-10-03 05:47:31
Atlanta soul sister Stacy Epps just grabbed attention thanks to Gilles Peterson’s evercool selection on Brownswood Bubblers. Her soulful vocals on Floatin’ are a big highlight of this wonderful compilation. She was one of the vocalists who took part in Clin D’oeil, the Jazz Liberatorz joint which unfortunately went relatively unnoticed although being a solid [...]


Tony Mottola

Video of the late American guitarist Tony Mottola from a Sammy Davis Jr. show from 1966, presented temporarily by Johnny Carson because of a contract problem Sammy Davis had with ABC. Starts at 2:20 but watch the intro by Carson. Here’s an interview with the man. Thanks to Thrift Store DJ for the introduction. Tony Mottola [...]


The Congos
2008-09-27 03:13:41
The Congos - Fisherman Live @ 2007 The Congos - Ark of the Covenant The falsetto vocals on the live one are a bit irritating and the tempo is a bit faster than the original, but seeing them sing this on stage after 31 years after it was conceived is very exciting. If you’ve never listened to [...]


Bad Painting - Good Art

Martin Kippenberger, Ohne Titel, 1982 Hey kids, I’m back in Istanbul after last week’s trip to Vienna. I won’t be able to say that it’s a nice city to live in, if you’re not a) old & rich b) poor & addicted to alcohol c) have a family history that goes up to the Habsburgs. Of course [...]

Sir Richard Bishop @ Aquarius Store
2008-10-23 03:01:43

Sun City Girls guitar legend Sir Richard Bishop will be playing acoustic at the record store Sunday, October 26th at 4pm. Here are two tunes from his impeccable Salvador Kali album from 1998. [...]


Space, why must we wait, why not now?
2008-10-22 08:45:17
Mercury “The eternal wonders of space and time, the faraway dreams and mysteries of other worlds, other life, the stars, the planets. Man has been face to face with them for centuries, it is barely able to penetrate the unknown secrets. Sometime, someday the barrier will be pierced, why must we wait why not now?” Roland Bocquet [...]

Headshock
2008-10-20 09:57:35
The brokers stood perfectly thunderstruck for a moment, and then there was a general run to notify the different houses of Wall Street of the failure. The brokers surged out of the Exchange, stumbling pell mell over one another in general confusion and reached their offices in race horse time. The members of the firms [...]


Loversrock
2008-10-17 10:03:49
I was obliged to make a “lovers rock” selection after big Alton Ellis has left the building. These are some romantic reggae and rocksteady hits a la John Holt’s, yet purists might say Ken Boothe’s phenomenal “Is it because I’m black” or Tommy Mc Cook’s instrumental has nothing to do with this genre. Well you [...]


Dungen
2008-10-15 09:16:35
Swedish psychedelic combo Dungen is back with a new one on Subliminal Sounds. Their 4th album aptly titled “4” is an extremely well crafted album of eclectic influences such as psychedelic pop, 60s soul, swedish folk, acid jam rock and jazz. The ingredients might sound a little awkward. Swedish folk, jam rock and soul? [...]


Alton Ellis RIP
2008-10-14 04:01:32
Informed by a post on shimmy shimmy, I realized that Jamaican rocksteady legend Alton Ellis has passed away from cancer. Here are a few of his classics that span over 45 years. Tribute on Myspace and idolator Ellis was known as the “Godfather of rocksteady“, with his 1967 debut album ‘Mr Soul Of Jamaica’ regarded as [...]


Yat-Kha : When the levee breaks
2008-10-13 14:22:00
Yat-Kha playing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida While checking Julie’s tracklist from the previous Free Kitten post, I noticed “When the Levee Breaks” by Led Zeppelin. While no one can say Zeppelin’s cover isn’t top notch, I think I might have found a better version. Tuvan throat singer & guitarist Albert Kuvezin’s cover with his Yat-Kha project. Off 2005’s Re-cove

Mr. Cenk Akyol is slowly becoming our official mixmaster with his exclusive monthly mixes thanks to increased activity, comments and downloads of his mixes. For this month he’s skipped Classical & Modern and brewed a spooky mixture of abstract beats & hiphop with a pinch of dub and illbient. Check out his previous mixes on [...]
