MIX #10
ripped pause tape from 2000

pulled this out of a hatrack the other day...a bunch or records that were new to me in 2000, all across a variety of styles...it's aged fairly well. I can still listen to it straight through without hitting the fast forward button...I got my first mixer in the middle of it so there's a little delay play in the drum and bass section. i was tempted to revise this with some overlaps in ableton ( especially between the first two tracks) but its not worth the time. THIS IS FROM A CASSETTE so the sound quality is fairly well shite. i still have most of these tracks if you get obsessed by any of it and want a rip

Sitting on the fifteenth floor parking lot with every other tire blown...blood on your forehead and cracks across the windshield...Your own personal celebrity signing paper cups at the food court. "There's an excess of fine lines these days," he said..."So many fine lines-...for instance, you mother seduced by a raven pretending to be a frog. He clenched her fingers together as she held a stick of butter...When you have your own talk show we will walk on opposite sides of the road..."




dieselboy @ forbes was a pretty big success. a nice sized crowd stayed late into wed night and the vibe of the club, as always, was relaxed and friendly. the drying up of drum and bass forced dieselboy to play the most interesting set I've ever heard from him (and Ive heard a dozen or more). he's given up uninterrupted, monotonous noisy, clattery high hats for detours into electro and dubstep flavors...the tune he opened with was massive. looks like there's a thursday night party called "human experience" @ forbes that is trying to feature DIY culture, whatever the flavor...in the same vein, there was a flyer for "lighting in a bottle" on my car the other day. it's interesting to see how events are trying to avoid appealing to a rigid niche, subculture or scene. i'm tempted to theorize on why that might be the case, but i'm sure it would sound stupid

if it wasn't for the end of the world, people would be unable to fall in love- though both are illusions. After the bullfighter gored an obese tourist, yard long margaritas went on sale...the hourglass was turned upside down...the wind began to blow. I thought as if I might be able to come up with another sleight of hand or two even though my social security number had been towed...my wife and kids repossessed...That's not the end of the world, several people said...And even though they are right, I'm the only one who really knows the end of the world -others shouldn't presume to say...

The nice thing about bullfighters is that they always reflect the sun.... 

The disc above= Jackie Wilson: Soul Galore!!!---there are some party rockers on this...another record I'm trying to sell $10 and a bargain!...the second track is better than the first:
