We lost everything in a computer incident on Wednesday. Oh, I've been able to restore a considerable amount from my back-up drive (though the back-up software would not work) and I had a lot of good stuff on flash drives. But the music and many of the photos are toast. Funny thing. I lost Dap Dippin' with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. http://mog.com/Spike_1/blog/1527114 And every nigh...

"Got A Thing On My Mind"I'll admit I was taken in when I first heard this. First, it sounds vintage. And it's funk like practically no one blows today. It was actually recorded in 2001 and released on a limited issue LP. Then, after gaining acclaim from DJs and critics, it was more generally released. Aside from the strong, punchy performances, they got this sound by shunning digital recording...

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are among the foremost preservationists of late-1960's R&B, all the way down to their dusty names (guitarist Binky Griptite and drummer Homer "Funky-Foot" Steiweiss, to name a couple).Frontwoman Jones struts like Tina, vamps like Aretha, and swings like Mavis Staples. Her Dap-Kings are most popularly known for their retro-soul backing of Amy Winehouse on her Gram...

The album covers, the period recording equipment, the strict adherence to the rules of the genre, or rather, the codification of the epoch, even playing on Amy Winehouse's retro-soul record: all this could have made the Dap Kings' thing seem like a pose, like the vintage get-ups some in the crowd were wearing, or other audience members' less-vintage t-shirts that put quotation marks around sou...
