Greetings all. After a busy weekend DJing and a small dig yesterday morning, I’m back with another podcast: Shifting Gears FMF Podcast#17: High Octane Funk and Soul. This mix we have a good representation of Deep Funk, Soul, some new Funk from my friends at Raw Wax, a bit of Latin Soul, and a B Side of Sister Funk among some others gems I’ve been saving up. When I made this design, it got me thinking of Coop, who is always sharing some great music with me. This one’s for you my man. I’m hoping you dig the Hurst Shifter Mobile, and of course the 45 treats I’ve included. I have to confess, I’ve got a que about half a mile long that I want to get into rotation, as well as get onto some mixes. I’m trying not to repeat any 45s on the podcasts, so far, so good. Some sides are so good though, I just might have to in the future. On with the program…….

Shifting Gears FMF Podcast#17: High Octane Funk and Soul All 45s, All Fueled by FMF!
Make sure you check out the newest member of the FMF family, Jeej from Just Like Music. There are some really great reviews, and some good insight on a lot of different music, don’t sleep on that. Also, we’re nearing the 100,000 visit mark here at FMF, and that will kick off a Hip Hop mix series I’ve been mentioning. I’ll most likely be playing a lot of stuff I really dig, focusing on some not so popular sides as well as the classics these original 45s inspire.
If you’re confused about where the mixes, blogroll and links went, don’t be. I gave them each their own individual pages up top. It was getting a bit crowded on the side, plus I’ll be able to add all the artwork for each seperate mix. You gotta have that cd cover. There is a new Eye Candy Page too, just some videos I’m feeling at the moment, and I’m sure you will too. Let me know what you think. See you midweek.
Keep Diggin’!
Flea Market Funk 
I’m such a fan of what you do. Sweet design on the banner. But, most of all, the music…Superb mix!! You’re at the top of your game, my Brutha!! Thanks so much!!
Peace and SOUL,
Dave…
Dave, thanks so much man, I do appreciate it. It’s guys like you (my peers) who push me forward to dig a little deeper each time. Thanks again Dave, and seriously, you’re blog is a killer too man. Keep on keepin’ on!
Good idea, listing the top 5 45’s of the moment over in the margin. Always interested in what everyone else is listening to.
I’ll chime in. The new format looks wonderful. A real interactive experience for sure! I dig the Sister & Brothers 45 too, especially the flip side Ack A Fool. I don’t have to tell you to keep up the good work beacuse you always come correct time and time again.
Peace and blessings.
BTW, I love the muscle car. Brings back fond memories of my uncle’s old Hot Rod magazines…
Nov. 23rd is the next 45 Sessions btw. Thanks Vincent!
I thought it was the following week… Might be a bit tough, but we will make every effort to come as last time was a stone gass. I’ll keep you posted asap.
I like the redesign Pres.
Now off to find a clean copy of the TNT Band 45….
