Hello and welcome to Work Tunes.
Just back from a great bike ride on the river and up the hill to Heathcote. I'm scrawling this all together while my kids have lunch and before we take off again to the shops. Best get right into then, hey?
There's a bunch of funk in the trunk this week, with another MJ disc, the latest from The Menahan Street Band and Cody ChesnuTT's new one. I've lowered the risk of contracting funkitis by splashing liberal amounts of hipster from Mumford & Sons and folk from Michelle Shocked. There's a free sampler from Muse as well. Representing "Straya" I've got the second disc of the Hip Hop Show compilation and the new Paul Kelly. That just leaves some "classic" rock from Alice Cooper and GnR.
Check it out:

Song of the Week : Stevie Wonder - Signed, Sealed and Delivered (I'm Yours)
In celebration of the victory of Good over Evil in the US, I am going to choose Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) for SOTW. This is the song that was playing when Mr Barack Hussein Obama walked out to give his acceptance speech.
Nothing you can say about the song itself can ever do it enough justice. More soul than a New Orleans fried chicken restaurant and funkier than a plate of black eyed peas cooked by James Brown himself. Stevie Wonder's voice is always incredible, but this is one of his finest moments.Such a powerful delivery and he punches it like a horn section.
As for the Prez, well, I am certainly glad he got over the line against Karl Rove and Donald Trump and all the other right wing crazies who wanted Romney to deliver them a big win for greed.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm off to the library and the shops now. You all be on your best behaviour until I get back. Or not. Whatever's good for you. Have fun, whatever you do.
