Lance Link presents: BUT I WAS COOL

Here's the second Beatnik themed set from me. This time 'round, it's the songs that exploited the beatnik movement and poked fun at the second wave of "drop outs" with their contrived berets, bongo's and bad poetry crossing over into mainstream popular culture. In other words, a whole lotta hipster fun! - Lance Link

Awesome Italian 45s Gallery

Musicaememoria has a great selection of crazy 60's Italian 45 sleeves. I have some of these at home (not the ones pictured here) and they really do have a unique look to them. Might have been the colours and the printing techniques, along with the stylish/kooked graphics. Whatever it is, they look great as this gallery will attest!

Joe Bataan - Call My Name

Released via the Spanish label VampiSoul for the European Market & via Eighteenth St Lounge in the USA with a digital downlaod only release where it comes with 5 extra remixes.

"East Harlem's godfather of Latin soul, Joe Bataan, is back with his first album in over 20 years! Recorded last year in New York City's Daptone Sound Studios, "Call My Name" fuses the unmistakable dusty groove of vintage funk and soul with contemporary production style and bombast. ESL Music proudly presents this digital only release featuring instant classics alongside dancefloor remixes from a bevy of current breakbeat-funk heavyweights. The smooth soul of title track "Call My Name" is reworked into a high-octane percussion session by The Voodoo Trombone Quartet, while the anthemic "Chick-a-Boom" undergoes a gymnastic electro-breakbeat makeover by Chris Joss, and Ursula 1000 adds even more spice to the hot barrio rhythms of "Chevere Que Chevere."" - www.eslmusic.com
