Time for a new look for the place.. Once again, the header is temporary…

Hello, kiddies.

The wait is finally over as I am pleased to welcome none other than Soul Psychadelicyde’s Lily Kane to the kitchen… This episode of Come On In My Kitchen is a joint creation that I’ve been working on for quite some time in between various real life situations, school and otherwise. Lil provided the base (as that is what makes any stew good and comfy) with a mixed bag of sweet and soulful sounds both old and new. Fans of her blog which can now be found here have already gotten a sneak preview, but I added just a little bit of extra spice from the pantry.

Lil had this to say… “All these tracks came from somewhere: some are from re-releases, compilations, some are from other blogs… and some others are from a generous 45 collector named Theo.  Besides thanking all the sources, I mostly want to thank Vincent for helping me find my inner anti-diva.”

When she took the first  spoonful of what I put together, she smiled with approval… with that said, grab a bowl and dig in.

Thank you to Soul Sides, The Captain’s Crate, Neopolitan Funk, Funk My Soul, and most important, thank you Lily for putting up with my tardiness…

The studies are going well. A cumulative GPA of 4.0!!! If only I had put this much effort into my studies when I was in High School. To celebrate my accomplishments, a much deserved digging session will definitely be in order this week, so expect a new 45 rpm exercise to grace this space sooner than later. Just a few more weeks and I can get back to business as usual for a while… at least until the next term begins. With that said, it’s time to get back to the books so have fun(k) and as always, please be safe.

Peace and blessings.
