A movie about Rock n Roll in 1966 England when it was still rebellious and actually illegal! I need that in my life!

Introducing the Noisettes!
Dig Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Mayer Hawthorne, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings and other (sometimes Mark Ronson-produced) retro-60's inspired sounds? Then you need to check out the UK's Noisettes. I did a whole morning's worth of posts on them at my other blog earlier today - that's something I've never done before, even for major releases like Kanye or Jay-Z! Here's a recap of all those posts including some music for you to download and check out:

Tropicália in Furs: Downtown Manhattan's Mecca for the Oscure Brazilian Psychedelic Sound
Tropicália in Furs, a hole-in-the-wall Brazilian record shop in the East Village, is the kind of place New Yorkers worry will disappear from the city forever. A tiny alternate universe where Technicolor dots bounce off glossy LP covers by Os Mutantes, the Cramps, and Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, it's never crowded or empty, and the same affable connoisseur is always behind the counter.
Joel (pronounced "jo-EL") Olveira, whose old-school afro and proto-hip-hop wardrobe make him look younger than his 36 years, opened the store's first incarnation five years ago in a flooded basement on the Bowery under the motto "Buy, Sell, Barter, Chit-Chat," quickly attracting a following with his warm demeanor and overflowing knowledge of late-'60s psychedelic Brazilian rock. Among serious collectors and DJs, word began to spread about the unequaled treasures Olveira kept hidden in a crate in the back of the store—possibly the best collection of obscure Tropicália singles on earth.

Rare soul track: Marva Whitney - "Ball of Fire"
Notes on this track:
"This record was released in June of 1969 and produced by James Brown. Marva Whitney was known as Soul Sister #1."
The title is accurate though - this track is FIYA! Jay-Z and Just Blaze need to get at this track for Blueprint 3, stat! Dilla (R.I.P.) could have wrecked this track too! [via AHH's Grouchy Greg]
