We're not in love with the Curtis Mayfield Remixed album. Outside of an excellent reinterpretation of Superfly as a latin dance joint by Little Louis Vega and our love of Freddie's Dead in any form, it's simply OK. Tonight's birthday tribute to Mayfield at Little Temple, though, should be anything but just OK. DJ Jeremy Sole and KCRW's Tom Golubic (who is also the music supervisor for Six Feet Under *ahem* Contest!) should be funking you up in the main area and Rhino records is giving away a bunch of stuff (including full albums and samples of Remixed) so you can decide about this stuff for yourself. $10 at the door or email here to get up on that Dervish friends list for a discount. more ›
