Thanks! Appreciate it, it's just a homage to Dante thoughBeaver,
This mix has made my day. Thanks for giving me something inspiring to listen to today.
Nothing short of fantastic.
Ha!
This mix makes me wanna get off my ass and finish my Houston Funk mix.

Texas is played out and so is funk! DON'T RISK IT, SON.

Don't encourage me!
ehh, Beaver is from the Fryer board...so I am sure he is more than used to ridiculous, holier-than-thou nitpicking...I mean that is what the whole fryer board is built on...so I am sure it rolls right off his back.
No one has called him a cunt here yet though!

My next Chains & Black Exhaust mix will surely set folks (even hardcore 45 dudes) back a few years!
People will swear I am making these band names and records up.
As far as the UK-US connection and who gets put onto what, I must say that in this day in age all of the truly UNKNOWN records (i.e. undiscovered and unheard) are coming from American collectors doing their homework.
I am *really* looking forward to this. I have no doubt I will be stopped in my tracks. It's part of the chase: I'll probably never have them in my mits, but you can't have everything. At least we know this vital music exists, and we how to listen to it. My initial listening and wondering of this new one will probably need to be aided and calmed by 11pm whiskey. Yes, I am that sad.
There are now many guys doing their regional US homework, and beginning to post up results of their efforts in blogs and websites, seemingly for each area. Witness Carolina, NY, DC, Georgia soul sites (prob missed 1 or 2 there) after the initial Ohio soul site. Lots of Milwaukee blogged. Come on Detroit / Cali. Serious work. Like check Nitecrawler's DC site and you can see a pic of Clyde Stubblefield with the Young Senators. How did this happen? Did anyone know about this previously? Young Senators were very much a local band at the time, so I find that hook-up fascinating. (Check D. Carfagna's 1st Chains mix for their "ringing bells" cut, my favourite of the first Chains CD). And what else did Knitecrawler came out of there with, apart from said Clyde / Senators info? Probably a few unheard-of local 45s, or at least connection on the chain toward them. Furthermore, when you're actively 'digging', you don't mind coming across a band's later 'modern' effort where you were initially after their earlier funk cut. If it's from your area, you'll treasure it and learn to appreciate the sound, instead of refusing to bother with anything other than what you're after. It's better than 'hot boxing' it (money-gaming your play-outs to just a small 'hot box')(I myself am somewhat guilty. If only I could be of better geographical orientation).
So for the unheard-of, US-located* guys are doing the finding. Eg. Good God / Mo Do. And that's no diss, I'm not UK or US, it's just geography and ratios. (You see I have to say ratios, cause UK still has it's massive history of Northern Soul). As Finewine said a few weeks ago on his legendary show, in his legendary drawl, "I love it when you guys come from you're other cities and bring your boxes of records I've never seen. You know, twelve years ago, when I started the show, there weren't these little pockets of soul enthusiasm."
And Beaver is completely fanatical about this stuff so of course it'll be a good mix. You once threatened to come over and sort me out, oh! those were the days! Thanks for all the tips and you should thank me for my wages
Btw, is there any Stone Coal White (from the last mix) going to be released at some point? (Did Egon play one of theirs unreleased in his recent 'psych soul' mix?).
*Thanks for the new gospel, G. And, speaking to anyone, who was the Australian with funk trades in DC?
**I have probably just killed this topic.

Threatened to sort you out, did I, wouldn't surprise me, agressive fuckwit that I am
I take it we've mellowed since then?Dante is putting out a Stone Coal White EP on Cali Tex, not sure when, but it's meant to be coming?
