    yo Stephanie,

    Thanks for the mention of Sarah Jones and Ms. I haven't bought the mag
    in years, but will look out for that....and the touring 'Monologues'
    should they hit T.O.

    I'm totally digging the new remixes of "Your Revolution," the Nappa mix
    in particular. I could swear though, I've heard a more uptempo, jazzy
    remix of this track than the new 12" on Ninja. Anyone know of such a mix
    or am I inventing it in my music-filled daydreams? I would hunt down
    practically ANY mix of this track as it's a winner and heart-warmer for
    its spot-on verbal flow.

    And, perhaps because I've been mixing this stuff back to back a lot, I'm
    remembering that I've gotta recommend a new comp on the BBE label:
    SISTER FUNK. This album is soooooo wicked!! Subtitled 'The Sound of the
    Unknown Soul Sisters,' this collection really does live up to it's name.
    With only a few 'known' artists and tracks (Ruth Brown, Barbara Lynn,
    Shirley Vaughn, Marie Queenie Lyons' unbelievable 'See and Don't See"),
    the comp focusses on a ton of women who are new to the ears. Man, I'm
    grateful to compiler Ian Wright, both 'cause I've happily discovered the
    talent of a whole pile of women artists new to me, and because the
    sounds are truly FUNKY funk, if ya know what I mean. Raw, sexy, bumpin'
    and fresh, fresh, fresh.

    Over 'n out.
