I'm kind of in love with the music put out by Daptone Records, especially Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Maybe it's because you never hear anything cool on the radio anymore, aside from anything by Justin Timberlake and that "Umbrella" song, but it just seems like a good for music made with actual instruments.Sharon Jones is a belter, and the Dap-kings are the house band for Daptone Records. Which is rad, because it makes me think of the Funk Brothers (if you don't know what I'm talking about, then you really really need to watch "Standing in the Shadows of Motown") or the golden days of Stax. They also were the backing band for Amy Winehouse's album "Back to Black." They don't use any digital equipment, which is downright crazy, and the record label is stacked with soul revival bands like the Budos Band and the Mighty Imperials. Anyway, totally awesome.
And some of those Dap-kings are hot.
