WE'VE GOT FOOTBALL TO WATCH. DANCE TO SOME JAMES AND BE GONE.

by Orson on Dec 29, 2006 12:16 PM EST

Like everyone else, we're overwhelmed, frankly. There's four games on today, a zillion on over the next few days, and somehow we're expected to clothe and feed ourselves properly in the interim.

Since that's not going to happen, we'll agree to do the following things:

1.We'll post a review on Sunday of everything that's happened between now and then.

2. We'll post on the 2nd in the same manner.

3. We'll attempt to do those in an easily digestible manner.

Deal? Deal. Excellent. You have viewing to get to. Remember: stay hydrated, stretch every hour or so, and do a light cardio workout with weights during halftimes. Keeps the body and mind firm yet flexible like so much bamboo waving in the grass.

For cardio, we suggest dancing to this clip of the dearly departed Godfatha of Soul, James Brown. For our money, JB's 1971 Love, Power, Peace: Live at the Olympia is the most ferocious collection of live sounds ever put on record. Rest in Peace, James.

Godfather of Soul, Sweat, Crack and Lady-Smackin… with a most deliciously unintelligible “rap” that makes even white folks wanna dance like fools

Lawd we are gonna miss you James… the news will forever be duller in GA

Funky Good Time: The Anthology is indispensible. I listened to all of disc two on Christmas morning after I heard the news. It’s also fantastic party music.

Alright, mixing water with various types of alcohol should keep me hydrated, and that “Dancin’ to the Oldies Bayou Edition” with the Orgeron should help with the cardio. Hopefully my retinas can handle mainlining this much college football.

I’m with you on “Love, Power, Peace”. That is some funky shit

I’d recommend Maceo Parker’s “Life On Planet Groove” to anyone, as well.

(Maceo, blow your horn!)

Also, I put together a little twenty-two song mix for the 80 or 90 people who visit my place on a daily basis. If anyone would like some free, non-Christmas music for the holidays, feel free to download it from my site. MF DOOM, The Go! Team, Wilco, Mike Doughty, a fun version of Rocky Top, and much more.

Happy New Year, EDSBS and everyone else!
