Can't quit it, baby...

...so I gotta put it down for a while. Financial issues will force me to place NOTIMEWARP RADIO into VIP only mode at the end of June. Only people with Live365 VIP memberships (about $8 a month) will be able to listen. I won't be able to update any of the music after then either. I plan on using from now until then, putting in some fresh tunes and maxing out the storage space they allow me for my tunes. Probably around 50-60 hours of music running on shuffle, like a giant ipod. The blog will stay, as will the Flickr page. I do plan on reopening the station in the future (geez, I've been doing this 6 years now) so I might as well keep some of the NOTIMEWARP network up and running. I hope people continue to check out the pages and hopefully the tunes too. I got some pretty cool stuff to unleash on all y'all groovy peeps! 'Til we groove again.... www.notimewarp.com

Outta Exile...

Today's the day the re release of the Stones classic "Exile on Main Street" comes out. I'm checking out the extra tracks as I type and here's a blow by blow;

'Pass the Wine' - vaguely similar rhythm to War's 'Spill the Wine' but that's where the comparisons ends. Great soulful groove. Gotta play this one for the peoples...

'Plundered My Soul' - The groove here really reminds me of 'Tumbling Dice' but this is a bit slower and (there's that word again) more soulful; kinda R & B style. Already playing this on the station.

'I'm Not Signifying' - Nice, slower struttin', blues boogie number. Starts off with just Mick and some piano and works it's way up into some harp and horns at the very end.

'Following the River' - Slow number in the 'Let it Loose' style groove'

'Dancing in the Light' - Good song. Real deep, huh?

'So Divine' - Interesting melodic guitar line running through it. Reminds me of the Brian Jones stuff.

'Loving Cup'(alternate take) - Slower than the final version. Kinda like a stroll through, before they let it loose, as it were...

'Title 5' - Kinda sounds like surf music. You'd never believe it was the Stones.

Also included are little interview snippets of the band (including Bill Wyman) talking about the record. Altogether good stuff, I'd say. There's about 3 or 4 different versions of this you can buy, including the super deluxe version that comes with a 30 minute DVD that's culled from 3 other kinda hard to find movies. I'm nabbing the bonus tracks with some Napster credits. The DVD, dunno 'bout that one yet. Sounds pretty cool, though... 'Til we groove a-gin...
