soul slurpee

Think I'll keep this funky soul train rollin,
even if I am the only 'body on board.

Here's both sides of Brainfreeze by DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist.
It was recorded live in '99
at a practice session for a show mixing soul and funk 45s.

Some of you know this well, I'm sure. But for those others, it must be shared.
