Skimming The Skum

Amsterdam's Lefties Soul Connection and L.A.'s Orgone share a similar Meters-meets-John Spencer-meets-James Taylor (the cool James Taylor) sound. Chunky guitars and leathery B-3 melodies ladled over organic, head-nodding beats. See how easy it is to bullshit your way through a music review? Anyway, listen for yourself below. The two are featured intermittently in the new podcast episode, which you can dig over there somewhere -->>

Can I first of all say I think LSC are class! Secondly, after perusing your blog for the last few days I've enjoyed so much funk and soul it's untrue. Thirdly, I totally agree with your "Echo Chamber" post - this blog, along with the likes of funky16corners, fleamarketfunk and others I can't remember are the islands of good music taste in a sea of otherwise insipid blogging ("Oh LCD Soundsystem/ Klaxons/ Amy Winehouse! You're all geniuses! *muffled by proximity of nose to arse*")
Cheers for the awesome funk dude!
