MP3 & Playlist for Lost & Found, 03/23/09

Hookin' & Slingin'

I'm not the type of mug to stand on the street corner wearing a sandwich board, or pressing pamphlets into disinterested palms to get my point across - so let's just think of this like you and me are 2 pals on adjoining barstools, all familiar-like and naturally sympathetic. So here's what I got: 2 hours of your time and the most interesting music of the 60's and thereabouts that I could muster up on such short notice. I'm not making excuses - I've got the goods. Deep soul, drumbreak-laden funk, psychedelic epics, dusty folk duos, glam punk excess ... and that's just the tip of the icepick.

Click on the Kritters 45 below to get things going. And that pamphlet I didn't jam into your sweaty palm? It's reprinted below for navigational purposes at your privileged perusal.
