Bobby Byrd spots you in the crowd and says ‘I know you got soul!” “Listen - Bobby Byrd - I Know You Got Soul - MP3″ Greetings all. Though I am not yet fully recovered from the combination of my travels and the yearly assault of Daylight Savings Time (Steal an hour from me, wi...

Minns ni 99? Det känns ganska avlägset, eller hur? Året då Napster gör fildelningen folklig, tidningarna Pop och Sound Affects läggs ner och Curtis Mayfield dör. Det var också året då dagensskiva.com tog sina första stapplande steg. Under februari/mars började redaktionen formeras och i ...

För drygt tvÃ¥ veckor sedan startades en av mÃ¥nga “lista de 100 bästa”-listorna som passerat revy i dagensskivas forum sedan starten. Den här gÃ¥ngen handlade det om Bra samplingar i bra lÃ¥tar, särskilt med fokus pÃ¥ soul, funk, disco och hiphop. Det fick mig, förutom nöjet att Ã...

Jag har sällan haft sÃ¥ svÃ¥rt att välja ut Ã¥rets lÃ¥t som 2008, sÃ¥ när jag pekade ut Gnarls Barkleys Who’s Gonna Save My Soul var det lite uppgivet (och albumet var verkligen trist). Hade jag tänkt tanken ett varv till borde jag ha valt Ice Cube Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It. 2008 hade änd...

You want a Great Pop Moment? James Brown playing Boston Garden right after MLK's assassination, having it broadcast live on TV, and having the city respond by largely staying home and not destroying the city—that's one for the ages. Which makes it kind of odd that no one thought to write a boo...
