Comment:
I'm officially obsessed with soul music. Lately, I've been making record store trips about twice a week, digging through the bins in hopes of spending a chunk of my paycheck on some danceable gems. In fact, I returned from the record store this evening, thinking I should make a mix tape. The funny thing is, nothing I purchased ended up on this one.Record shopping is seriously starting to cut into more important things in my life. It's been way too long since I've picked up my guitar, tackled an art project or, hell, cleaned my apartment. Plus, my girlfriend's birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and I need to save some of this hard-earned cash on something special for her.
Some other northern soul fans have sent me messages asking if I would be interested in trading mixes. The answer is-maybe. I've never traded mixes before. It could be fun. I don't know. I'll think about it. In the meantime, though, I need to get moving on some of those important tasks that seem to be getting put on the back burner.
Feedback:
since reading nick hornby's juliet, naked, a big smile always spreads across my face when i see one of your northern soul mixes. the reasons are two-fold. 1) they feature some amazing music. 2) i always think of two of the book's characters, gav and barnesy. thanks for posting!
Thanks for the comment and the tip on the book! I've only read "High Fidelity" (naturally) and "Songbook," and although I enjoyed both ("High Fidelity" more so), I feel like I don't have a great understanding of Nick Hornby. I'll check out that one, though. Sounds right up my alley.
you're very welcome. but i do have to warn you--i think that the book is pretty good (not better than high fidelity), but its mention of northern soul takes place in a aging seaside town in england, and its followers are aging a bit as well. i'm not sure, i hope you won't be offended. i don't think nick hornby meant to offend anyone, but he does seem to be making fun a bit. i like that part because i think the characters are loveable, and i kinda wish i was there with them... :-)
i would like to own this mix. GOOD STUFF!!!!!!
Congrats for doing your part to keep independent record stores alive! I've also spent many hours digging through bins, but admit it's been a while. I love soul, too, and can see you go deeper and include lesser-known cuts and artists. Nice work!
