sounds of the soul revival

daniel was telling me about sharon jones and the dap-kings this weekend, how i would be in to the sound. told me i had to give them a listen. so i did some listening yesterday and yeah, she's got 'it' and they're fun. i've been missing out.

also on monday one of my musicblogs had a post about 'em with video. which i watched.

then today i was listening a 3 wk old episode of mark ronson's radio show on the drive in to work and he was all about sharon jones and how everyone needs to listen to her and buy her record. the kid gets excited about all kinds of stuff; sometimes i agree and sometimes i don't.

today i was like, yeah... it is good stuff. i should listen to more... i'm digging this soul scene. i like some serious music and lyrics sung with feeling. yeah yeah.

i also like when my friends, a music blog, and a pop-dj* all offer up the same music recommendation and i actually agree.

* what is mark ronson? a club dj? pop-star? celebrity? entertainment personality? don't know. he's a music producer, a dj, a songwriter, label owner. a scenster and taste maker... dunno. pop-dj. popular (music) disc jockey. pop-dj. haha. yes. even with his increasing popularity in the mainstream and the constant plugging of his own stuff, i still like him.
