Mixtapes for the 21st Century

93 Spotisfaction Monday 03/08/10 - Kevin Atkinson

Morning all. Didya miss me? Today is a shock to the system, fo sho - first day back in the day job after two weeks off, and I’m very much not with it yet. This weekend saw the wedding of two good friends of mine and therefore I’m in a very good mood today. So, in celebration of this rarity, I’ve picked Kev’s soul playlist for today’s aural consumption.

Congratulations to Dr Dave and Sarah Monks, with love from Spotisfaction.

Blurb

Inspired slightly by the Right Reverend Lavelle’s playlist on 30th April I thought I’d bring a bit more Soul to the party. I am not a big fan of modern soul and R&B so what we have here is a collection of classic Soul, many of which (if not all) I am sure you’ll recognise. Haven’t got much to say about the tracks to be honest as they are all classics but any cricket fans out there will know why I included Soul Limbo by Booker T. & The MG’s.

Keep it real, or at least not entirely fake
