A. Inside The Bottle
B. Just Like
C. Man With A Jive
D. The BB Boogie

So it is the autumn season and a great time for some roast beast jive turkey, and to celebrate Flapjack Records digital is happy to bring back Chicago's own Southside trio of turkey terror South Of Roosevelt with their new joint "Man With a Jive EP".  This is EP is more than just a meal, but a well rounded feast perfect for the season, so put on your elastic waist pants and start loading up your plate.

This EP starts out with a huge glass of "Inside The Bottle", which is a peak time soul grabber that goes down smooth to warm you up as the weather gets colder.  The beats and bass line are nothing more than pleasant on the bowels, but the vocal is something that will have you howling at the moon like a slack jawed fool.

As you move on down the fixins table you will find a huge bowl of "Just Like".  Now this may not be like the fixins your momma used to make, but it's most likely better.  South Of Roosevelt knows your momm n dem and don't cook by the book so to speak.  A heaping plateful of this jam will keep you more satisfied than most other leading brands.

The title tracks, "Man With A Jive", is another solid swing joint which makes everything taste like moonshine and biscuits.  This is the fuel for the holiday fire my friends.  Without tunes like this, you probably wouldn't even have been born.  Get a little of this going on down the hatch and you may need to bring a box of tissues if you are by yourself, otherwise a box of condoms.

Way down at the end of the table you will find the sweet dish delight "The BB Boogie".  It's probably sitting somewhere between grannie's jello mold and uncle louis' cigar ash sardines. This is the kind of funk n disco that kept house music going during the mid to late 90's.  It is also the reason for half of the obesity epidemic in the United States.  It's just something that you can't get a away from. It's sure to meet all your fancy.  So yeah, go and get yourself all fatted up and grab some of South Of Roosevelt's "Man With A Jive EP".

A1. The Jazzface
A2. Holla If You Came To Funk
B1. Chop City DJ's - Time To Shake (Scrubfish's Circle K Remix)
B2. Testify To The Soul Provider

Grab your fishin' rod and let's head down to the river and catch us Flapjack Records 10th vinyl release!  Scrubfish attacks us with his first solo EP since his transformation from a fresh water fish to a salt water serpent.  This fresh filet "The Lutefisk EP" is definitely the catch of the day with its super fresh sound.  It's so hot we can't even put a price on it, so it's listed as market value in the price column on the menu.

Reeling in the first round , "The Jazzface" is a boneless cut of the finest fish that melts in your mouth with a drizzle of butter and a wicked bass line.  Jazzy enough for the captain of this ship, and one scurvy dog away from a mutiny on the dancefloor.

"Holla If You Came To Funk" has pirates everywhere on a mad hunt for this booty.  Chock full of funk and fish breath, this jam is cut throat on the dance floor and scales fish faster than a fat kid on a Twinkie.  Watch out for those horns cuz you might go through a few lines try to pull em in.

Next up Scrubbers snags a remix of Chicago boys "Chop City DJ's - Time To Shake (Scrubfish's Circle K Remix)" which is a technologically advanced mechanism to make fish dance.  This remix is so good that it won a guest spot on The Deadliest Catch and went on to win a daytime TV Emmy Award for its small role as background music in The Filet's Of Our Lives.

Filling the quota for this month's catch, "Testify To The Soul Provider" is so plentiful a dish that we have freezer warehouses in Japan filled to the ceiling with its funky fresh groove.  Flash frozen and shipped daily to dance floors all over the world, this jam is to be enjoyed by everyone everywhere.  As nasty as "The Lutefisk EP" tastes, it sounds even nastier out of a banging club system.
