Current ear worm. My brother played “Portuguese Love” for me last night, after we listened to the Bah Samba/Alice Russel cover version. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since.

From Teena’s 2002 Motown release, It Must Be Magic.

Nice. Love our girl, Saidah!

djseansaxblog:

Funny. I knew there were dirty parts IN this song but until sitting down to watch the video, I didn’t realize just how dirty the ENTIRE TRACK IS. Simply makes me love her even more. New Saidah Baba Talibah - (S)Cream. T-Dot! Don’t sleep on us.

Found this Flavourwire article through a posting on google+. Really taken with this example of Angolan baile funk! Love the dance style too.

Also, this jazz/funk Turkish joint is pretty cool.

So, my pal Sergio insisted I do a food-themed mix, since I love food so much. “Bring your worlds together!”, he demanded. And so, I have.

Aaron forwarded me this new video from TV On The Radio, for the song “You”. Off their new record, Nine Types of Light, it’s a great song of heartbreak and loss that’s a front runner for my 2012 VD Mix. And the video is terrific and hilarious.
