Things have felt a bit dry lately.
Who or what in my realm of soul music should I be listening to?

spitz1 answered your question: So now that megaupload is gone, what should I use to upload a large (500+mb) rar of the OSMA?

thebadarts asked: Hello, my name is Sarah. I am a pretty new soul fan - in fact I only really got into the genre a few months ago.

Pretty sure I can name every song each track is derived from on his new record. At least sections within each track. I suppose it’s simply an extension and reinterpretation of a tradition, from a man who fell in love with all those records. Not unlike myself.

fluididity asked: Hey there! I dig this blog (and your band is fantastic); I find myself returning to particular posts quite a lot, and it's also helped me to kind of follow down certain soul veins and find a bunch of other really great stuff. Could you hook me up with the dl link for the audio archive? I'd love that. Thanks again for your blogs :)

I highly recommend these T.N.T. Sounds comps. →
Soulpopcorn made a delightfully unique three-volume set of R&B, pop, novelty, hot jazz and soul. Every song is in a minor key. Ranges from haunting to odd to raunchy. Such a good listen. It’s like being in a combo Lynch/Tarantino film for hours. Just download.
