The WeFunk Playlist Project - Older News

April 2005

• Stephen Sloan sent me Roy Ayers Ubiquity - "The Old One Two" to clear up Snippet 14 on Show 196. Thanks! $5 for you! (4/25)
• Nicolas came through with another track, adding Spacek - "Eve (Jay Dee Remix)" to Show 188's list. Damn, thats $50 for you, man!! Nuff said.. (4/18)
• Alan Gilmor gave us DJ Aladdin - "The Track" which finished out Show 203. 1 for us, and $5 for you. (4/18)
• Julien Ruaux contributed two titles to the project. The first, Jackie Mittoo - "Stereo Freeze" completes Show 191. He also sent Calender - "Monster From The Black Tongs" (Snippet 5 on 195). Thats $10 for gettin' in the hunt! (4/18)
• Maik did some diggin' in the crates to bring us Snippet 3 on Show 189, Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band - "Giggin' Down 103rd". Thats $20, and if I'm not mistaken, I think that puts him in second place! Good job! (4/18)
• Frequent contributor Ragnar Orestad sent me Donald Byrd - "Cristo Redentor" to finish up Show 208's playlist. He's got $5 WeFunk credit now. Thanks again, Ragnar! (4/14)
• John D. is doing a great job checking over the Project's work. He noticed an omission on Show 189's playlist. I added a Snippet for this new unrecognized song. He also noticed a song that was mislabeled on Show 197. I took care of that. Thank you so much for your help, John. (4/14)
• Gunnar Mohr sent in an ID of Snippet 7 on Show 198. He added Azeem - "Contradictions" to the project, and picked up the $5 bounty. Thanks! (4/14)
• Thanks to Luke Clarkson for confirming Cut Chemist - "Lesson 4: The Radio" on Show 190. Thats $5 for him, too. (4/14)
• First off, I would like to apologize to everyone that has been putting in work, finding song titles and sending them to me. I shouldn't have let things pile up this bad. You have NO idea how hectic shit has been for me recently. Anyway, my bad, things are a little calmer now, so I should get your updates posted much sooner. I appreciate all your patience!! (4/11)
• Nicolas has been waiting the longest. He sent in Cage - "The Weather Report" to round off Show 168. Milano - "Rep For The Slums" on Show 170, Gemini - "Funk Soul Sensation" on Show 200, and Nautilus - "Where's Tariq" on Show 212. That gives Nicolas another $20, for a grand total of $45. I think Nicolas may have been just holding out on us till we figured out a way to pay him for his work! All of WeFunk appreciates it though! (4/11)
• King sent in Jigmastas f. Skam & Buildin Bloxx - "Beyond Real (Remix)" for Show 207. Thats $5 and countin', my man! Thanks! (4/11)
• From Norway by way of Denmark, Jonas Bringager sent in a contribution to Show 173, adding Harvey & The Phenomenals - "Soul & Sunshine". Thats $5 for him! Thanks! (4/11)
• Maik eliminated several unidentified funky tracks from the WFPP. Maik added The Eliminators - "Give It Up" to Show 195, Fela Kuti - "Ye Ye De Smell" to Show 181, and The Undisputed Truth - "UFOs" to Show 195. He said he was gonna give up the prize for the cause, but if he wants it, Maik's earned a $15 bounty. (4/11)
• John D sent in a correction for Show 173. I had labelled the song "Crosscut Saw" as by Albert King, but that version was actually by John Hammond. Good catch! (4/11)
• Aleksi gave a partial ID on Snippet 1 on Show 203, giving us the Bomb DJ's. Thats half, anybody want to clean up the rest? (4/11)
• I got a give a shout out to Adrien.. Adrien came damn close on ID'ing Snippet 7 on 206 as A Tribe Called Quest - "If The Papes Come (Remix)".. I checked but naaah, I don't think so.. They just sound a little different. So Snippet 7/206 is still open. If anyone wants to check them and stick up for Adrien, I may still be able to be convinced. (4/11)

• Professor Groove and the rest of the gang have been doing a great job of keeping playlists for their newer shows, and the older shows are not available for download or to listen to. So it seems that the WFPP is coming to an end. Folks still hit these pages, though, so I'll keep them up until the hits die down significantly.

Its not really feasible to track the time in shows, so that allows us to have our first completed playlist, show 180. Thanks to Professor Groove (again) for filling in the spaces. I'm gonna leave the times in on the lists that already have it though.. it took me a long time to do that.. :)
