Saturday! Fatback: Proof that the Sky Burger Loves Us!

The image above is a panel from an ancient triptych depicting the epic origins of Fatback. A gift to humanity sent down from the Sky Burger, it laid idle & buried beneath 5 cent farecards, used tourist maps and half-smoke carcasses for several millennia until Fatback’s crack team of funk archaeologists exhumed it in order to save your Third Saturdays from boredom and/or your summer reading list.

But we must use this gift or risk getting it repossessed by the Sky Burger. So come on down to Liv (11th & U Sts. NW) and bring your party friends. 10 pm - 3 am. FREE!!

Recomended for Saturday May 12th

This Fatback DJ highly recommends that you drive up to Baltimore for the next Deep Sugar party on Saturday May 12th with Wayne Davis, Lisa Moody and the 4 Hours of Funk DJs!

Here’s their mix to get you ready.

Patrick & Steven spinning jams w/ Jahsonic & D-Mac @ 100 Party Tonight!

WHAT IS IT?
A spiced-up cocktail party with one hundred great people, a-m-a-z-i-n-g music…and a twist.

This is The One Hundred Party!

And this year every dollar spent will be helping Nick Fitzhugh finish his first feature film, STARBOARD LIGHT which means you all will be part of it!

WHEN IS IT?
Friday, May 4 (TONIGHT!)
9 pm - 3am

WHERE IS IT?
467 Florida Ave NW, 2FL (above Pizzarro). At the intersection of Florida Ave and New Jersey Ave. Three outdoor decks. Projectors. DJs. Three bars. No lines. Cash or credit. And plenty of room and good vibes for the night’s activities.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
Every dollar of your $20 ticket helps make the redfitz feature film, STARBOARD LIGHT and gets you access to the party and to delicious $3 beer, mixed drinks, tequila shots, wine and bubbly + fresh pizza from Pizzarro pizzeria right downstairs!

WHAT’S THE TWIST?
Everyone at the party will be “matched” with at least one other person. If you find your match, you’ll be given a fun little challenge to complete. Don’t worry…the games are fun and harmless. But we can’t guarantee that you won’t like your match!

It works like this:

- Buy your ticket at: http://onehundredparty2012.eventbrite.com/
- When you come to the party you’ll be given a special token with a number (1-99)
- Find the person whose number, when added to yours, makes 100. That’s your match.
- Then find one of the many happy party hosts and we’ll tell you what to do from there!

WHO WILL BE THERE?
Fatback DJs Patrick and Steven as well as local legends Jahsonic and DMac will be spinning dance inducing beats to make you happy all night long.

CAN I COME?
Yes! Come already!

Celtic Soul

In light of the weather and celtic holiday season I am reposting this gem from a few years back.  Use it to get your chill on tonight because your gonna need to bring your A game tomorrow:

There’s nothing better than a rainy day for listening to slow soulful music.  Maybe this doesn’t instantly conjure Van Morrison in your head, but there’s no doubt a deep Van track is the perfect compliment to a soggy day.  Check out what wikipedia has to say about Mr. Morrison:

Much of Morrison’s music is structured around the conventions of soul music and R&B, such as the popular singles, “Brown Eyed Girl”, “Moondance”, “Domino” and “Wild Night”. An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as Astral Weeks and lesser-known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One.  The two strains together are sometimes referred to as “Celtic Soul”.

Here is the track “Streets of Arklow” off his 1974 album Veedon Fleece:
