northern soul nite

this week's mix will be all the best in northern soul music. in the 60's a lot of north english kids who were bored with rock and roll listened to underground uptempo soul music instead. they called it northern soul to draw a distinction between what they liked and popular r&b. the scene's influence is still around - breakdancing is very similar to northern soul dancing and skinny jeans, quirky buttons, patches, etc. all come from the northern soul subculture.


i have a modest n.s. collection of my own, but if it weren't for the soul girl i wouldn't have i saw you there by the appointments (a 45 that sells for $5000 in england!) or voodoo man by four tracks (worth $3000!).

so tune in this sunday night from 8-10pm cst to hear the best in bass-and-beat-driven soul music the first hour and good new stuff the second hour. at least you'll get your money's worth.
