Sharon Jones was the original powerhouse that drew me into the world of Daptone Records, but Charles Bradley was the label's shrieking, beating heart. His upbringing consisted of running away from a home where his bedroom was a sand floor basement, to hitchhiking his way to becoming a chef in the Job Corps, to part-time James Brown screamer, to almost dying of an allergic reaction to penicillin, to finally finding his home as the screaming eagle of soul on Daptone. Vale, Mr Bradley.

In vertebrate anatomy, hip (or "coxa" in medical terminology) refers to either an anatomical region or a joint. The hip region is located lateral and anterior to the gluteal region (i.e., the buttock), inferior to the iliac crest, and overlying the greater trochanter of the femur, or "thigh bone". From rockabilly and funk, one or more of these tracks will jiggle your vertebrate anatomy, or your money back.

Such a rad request! But first, a short bio from, all of places, Rolling Stone: 'Mohawked and mad-as-hell, the punks who popped up in England in the late 1970s created some of the smartest, sharpest, and most arresting racket the U.K. had ever heard. Many of them would never make it to the charts, but decades later, they remain punk-rock royalty.' British Punk has always held a special place in my heart, and this is some of my personal late-70s and post-punk UK gems. Crank it loud!

Long-time listener, first time caller Scott asked for a Soulquarians mixtape. Who are the Soulquarians? They were the kings of smooth, cutting-edge soul music in the late 90s/early (EARLY) 2000s, cranking out a handful of albums and collaborations within a few years that changed the face of hip hop and beats-based music. Dual masterminds J Dilla and ?uestlove formed the production spine of the outfit, but the honey-dipped sounds of Erykah Badu, Common and D'Angelo drove the tracks into overdrive. And if you're wondering why no Lauryn Hill, there's a special surprise a'brewing in the Mixtape archives...
