Who’s ready to be beaten senseless about the face, neck, breast, chest and head with some deep funk? Just before noon, no less. Gluttons, all’a'youse.

I came home from ACL with a profound appreciation for The Dynamites, a deep funk band from Nashville featuring Charles Walker. I hadn’t anticipated seeing them down there, but that’s the beauty of the capital-f Festival — you can stumble into a hot-like-fire show that leaves you with that overwhelming desire to download all their albums and watch all their YouTube clips.

Sadly, there ain’t much of these cats on the ‘Tube, but the few clips that have been uploaded are fanfuckingtastic. We’ll start it off with a clip from Nashville in 2005 — this is the fast and furious Dap Walk, a top-notch song written and originally performed by Ernie Vincent and the Top Notes (Vincent even makes an appearance in this video). Get ready to dance in your office chair.
