* We take our second look at the Album of the Month for November 2011 - "Bringing Back The Funk" from Brian Culbertson, which might as well be an Earth Wind & Fire side-project for all the former and current members of that band appearing on this! Including Maurice White on backing vocals on the first of today's two tracks, "Hollywood Swinging"

* The House of Grooveline this week is a beautiful affair, with the vocals of Monday Michiru on a brand new track from Namy, which is "There She Stands"
