...their homage-packed soul songs prove they left their hearts in Motown. The Tonyies, who are all in their 20s, evoke past greats such as the Jackson Five with vibrant vocals and melodies, but they never settle for mere imitation. Radio is rotten with musical hacks who fake the funk with computer- generated beats, but the Tonyies are a real band, with real instruments, who have succeeded in bringing the art of R.-and-B. songwriting back to the future...

...goal, kick the ball back into the goalie box. Crusaders goalie Keith Bauer stopped the initial shot but could not hold on to the ball, and Altcheck was there to finish up. Freshman Marcel Perl picked up the assist. “We were in a bit of a funk in the first half when we were down 1-0,” Kerr said. “I was hoping since we equalized right before halftime, we could come out of it and for the first part of the second half we did. We played pretty well...

When the history of Newt Gingrich's ethical predicaments is written, one of the better ironies will be that the struggle to decide the Speaker's fate gave rise to--what else?--a whole new ethical funk. No matter what its outcome, the vote on whether Gingrich remains as Speaker of the House will reverberate through the work of the next Congress and its balance of terror between Republicans and Democrats. But before that, Newt's delicate condition and the ways in which his party rushed to his rescue will offer a priceless view of just how badly Washington handles...

...their genre-bending breakthrough “Blazing Arrow” in 2002. On “The Craft,” the two have branched out even further, leaving the straightforward hip-hop vibes of earlier work for the marshy turf somewhere between hip-hop, jazz, electronica, and funk, where Outkast’s Andre 3000 has built his secret lab. “The Craft” is laced with swirling atmospheric washes, funkified melodic loops, ethereal crooning, snappy drumlines, and even P-Funk sensei George Clinton, who lends an extra punch to “Lotus Flower...

...Morning Jacket establishes a vastly different record from 2003’s guitar-rock-oriented “It Still Moves.” As the track draws to a close, singer/guitarist Jim James channels Elton John’s howling vocals over a tight soul-funk rhythm. The most remarkable thing about James’ trademark voice is that he does not even need to sing actual words for his songs to feel meaningful, nor do his lyrics need to be particularly creative. Much of the album recalls songs such as the sprawling “Cobra?...
