It's a beautiful day in the ATL, albeit a bit chilly.  My heart goes out to all the good folks participating in the AIDS Walk for Aid Atlanta.  Looking at the weather forecast on my desktop, it appears we are going to finally have a fabulous week with plenty of sunshine and more fall-like weather as it warms up into the low 70s later on.  What's a little bit weird is that the leaves have yet to change.  I think I saw one tree yesterday, but that's about it.  Usually, around mid-September, you wake up one morning and almost all of the trees change colors overnight.  Right now, they're a little bit late to the game; so hopefully soon.  What can I say, I'm a sucker for sunshine, blue skies, pleasant temperatures and fall leaves.
As I mentioned yesterday, the second half of this edition is geared towards underground house.  I readily admit this is my favorite kind of house, next to the funkier T-Dance.  Granted, I like it all but great vocals without the annoying voice disguiser, tight beats and roof-raising electro burners is where it's at!
I start things off a little slow while each song builds on top of the other.  By the time you get halfway through, all bets are off and this just burns a hole right through your brain!  Personal favorites are the 80s styled funker "Jus Chip" by Preetesh and Angela Tharmakumar; "Ring Ring Ring" by Kurd Maverick (wait for the drop in the middle which slows down to a funky jazz groove before picking up again); "Dum Da Dum" by Melodie MC and "Musical Freedom" by Candi Stanton.  Who's that you say?  Yes, the Candi Staton of "Young Hearts Run Free" fame from 1976.  She's long been heavily involved in gospel and it's about time she took those influences and re-used them on the floor for a hair-raising experience.  Welcome back Miss Staton,
