You'll have to find, download, and install the proper codec first. It's even more of a problem on the web, where users can run any combination of operating system and browser.

James & Janis
DJ Moule is the creatror of many fine mash-ups, and in this, our hour of soulful need, I thought I’d highlight one of his James Brown Mash-ups. This time versus Janis Joplin and her quest for diamond rings and all that, with a lovely D&B break sliced in.
