That is such a delightful movie. I've told a bunch of people at work about it recently. None of them had ever heard of it, which is a bit sad, really. Oh, and I almost said "And, and, fucking and?" to a student in class, then realized that not only would that be totally inappropriate, even as a joke, but they wouldn't have a chance of catching the reference.

Theda Baratheon Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I LOVED the movie!! I only watched it for the first time on TV the other day!! Soul music is so uplifting and well, sexy. And Nowhere to Run has been on a loop in my spotify today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually managed to get some great stuff cheap. In fact, I feel I had a very Mr X day of shopping, coming home with a bunch of absurdly good beer and a bunch of good CDs, including, among others, the aforementioned Commitments, and the first two Superchunk albums. Fuck yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The singers are great though, strange how most of them never did anything else acting wise but the ladies all did. Maria Doyle Kennedy is pretty sexy in the commitments with a fantastic voice and she's still pretty sexy with a fantastic voice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigima Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So it's apropos that The Commitments came up recently. I am on a soul kick and seeking recommendations, but I specifically want lively stuff -- a lot of the greats like Otis Redding and Sam & Dave write a mean tune, but they sound like they're falling asleep when they play 'em. Give me your Wilson Picketts, your Aretha Franklins, your covers by the Commitments and the Blues Brothers. I don't care if it's old stuff or newer revival stuff, but I would love your recommendations for high-energy soul. On the newer end of things, I already know about Mayer Hawthorne, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, and the first Fitz and the Tantrums album.

On my way into work now, so I'll get back to you later tonight... In the meantime, enjoy edit: haha, its funny you use Otis Redding as an example of low-energy-- I totally know what you mean, but when I think lively, high energy soul this is my first thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liffguard Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 @Theda Baratheon have you heard the new Vangelis album yet? Given your well known love of Blade Runner I thought it might be right up your street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the newer end of things, I already know about Mayer Hawthorne, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, and the first Fitz and the Tantrums album. Since you mentioned Sharon Jones, have you heard Charles Bradley yet? He's kind of the James Brown to her Aretha. I'm pretty sure he's also signed to Dap-Tone Records. I caught his set during the Lock'n Festival webcast and was really impressed. He also had a spot in an episode of Luke Cage with this song: Also, the New Mastersounds. They're a little more funk than soul, but they've got the high energy part down cold. They're mostly instrumental, but they have a few guest vocalists, and sing on a couple tunes. While I haven't heard much from him, Curtis Harding is pretty good, too. And while he may be a little more laid back than what you're going for, Leon Bridges is pretty awesome: Something else worth checking out that I got turned onto recently: What It Is? Funky Soul and Rare Grooves. It's a compilation of a bunch of random artists you probably never would have otherwise heard of that are all awesome. I don't know if it's on spotify or various streaming services or whatever, but it's worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
