I feel there could be a turf war between Melbourne and Sydney Soul Soon. Down here, we’ve got a knack for big brass; as Saskwatch, Clairy Browne, and The Cactus Channel have gone on to reflect the city’s penchant for gritty live shows. And in true form, Sydney’s hit back with something slick. That person behind it all is Sarsha Simone.

Previously front woman of Dojo Cuts—a revivalist funk outfit—Simone has brought out the Gold EP: five tracks that serve up a mix of neo-soul, hip-hop, and contemporary RnB. But, Simone’s voice is hard to place. It’s raspy in part, but it’s smooth as well — almost like Winehouse’s raw voice on her debut Frank. You can her this more clearly on Jazz Soul Scent, Simone’s recent collaboration with French artist DJ Moar. And, in the vein of your neo-RnB revivalists, she can rap to boot. This could raise ire in others, but she seems to rap in a style that’s akin to spoken word poetry on tracks like ‘All Night’. And of course, you could look to the likes of Candice Monique for further comparisons. Whothehell

One of the methods of communicating from one officer to another in the trenches of the the great world wars was to give the message to one of the privates and tell him to pass the word along the line until it reached its destination, viz., the officer at the other end.
The following story is similar to stories, though not as risque, as those told at the Mittleuropean tables. These war stories show how a serious message can be distorted on its journey from mouth to mouth:— Lieutenant A., in charge of one end of the Battle line told the private in front to pass the word along to Lieutenant B.: “Time to advance” When Lieutenant B. received the message it was like this: “Time to have a dance ...” [Like with so many songs we hear what we wish or prefer to hear ....]
On this day the Sergeant started the message at one end with: “Col. Lang is going to advance. Send reinforcements.”
When the Sergeant got to the other end of the line the men there seemed unable to keep their faces straight.“Well,” asked the Sergeant, “what is the message?”Said the last man with a broad grin and an Irish brogue: “Sure Sergeant, Col. Lang is going to a dance; send his pants to be pressed!”
