Josh and I got together tonight and played an hour and a half of strictly Michigan music, from 60’s small label soul to funk to rock and roll and back around to soul with a little twist of bluegrass and super obscure primitive stuff thrown in. Toward the end, Josh was almost in tears over Lee Osler’s Tarnished Love Affair (the Back to Ypsilanti B Side), and Sally and Zoe the dogs were munching on pizza.
I am attempting to try to put up the sessions, broken into smaller parts, although we’re running into some too-big-of-files problems.
But, we had a ton of fun, and at least we learned how to improve for next time.
*Update: I will post the first two songs, and keep working on the best way to do this.
: Podcast CousinsCast, Part 1. These first two songs are a random sample of a random selection of Detroit 45s that I pulled from the 450 soul 45s (not all Detroit but a good number) I am currently in the process of listing. Look for them all to go up all at once in another few weeks.
What’s next: Another soul 45, a blues-funk song about the Ford Rouge plant, and an incredible jazz/funk track with a break that goes on for days.
*Note: This CousinsCast, all other audio currently posted, and future audio posted on this site is for educational purposes only, made to provide a sample of the original records we are selling, and/or to educate others of the history of music in Michigan.

Haha. Yeah, the mic’s too low, we need to edit the clips together better, we need to get our levels set in preview… We basically need a monitor…

Yeah, the mic only picked up when I held it real close and talked right into it, otherwise too low.
But it was fun. I’m going to release each part every week or something. Although it will only be two or three songs each time.
