Retiring this blog:  checking all the links, backing up everything I can and moving on...Still gonna stop by every now and then, so if you want to shout out some love, drop me a comment or an email...


I posted the following mix in an earlier incarnation of blogdom...a cop out repeat post, perhaps...But no one is keeping score. A couple of these records are a little played out if you are familiar with the style. If you don't, then it's pretty hitting. I knew the records well, the mixing is fairly tight

MIX#6:

records by:

paperclip people/rick wade/jeff mills/demarkus lewis
movers and shakers/maurizio/charles webster feat. martina topley bird
/infiniti



"125 BPM DETROIT HOUSE pearl mix IOZOZOI m.MP3"
I had one of Ben Sim's Split mixes on in the background the other day and the Seldom Felt "Face Value" track literally cut through the speakers and commenced to throb out a perpendicular groove straight parallel to Joey Beltram's brainpan. (Discogs gives this a nod and a wink towards Lawrie Immersion.  Long Live the Stay Up Forever crew) If you can't take this for what it is, I don't want anything to do with you. Timeless.

labored over this for quite sometime- a weeks worth of hours nearly...some of it is records through a mixer, some of it is ableton renderings, and some of it is some sloppy traktor (only a mouse and no cue) If there was anybody reading this, they'd recognize it incorporates some mixes from earlier posts. Time to use your money back guarantee, I suppose
ten minutes of a Zeke show 09.29.99 @ chain reaction. not giving a fuck and rocking out for broke. You think you know what rock and roll is? Fuck what you know. Rock and roll jumps out of a pickup truck and beats your ass...I have this whole show if you are interested.


a track each off of these LPs...chinese cha cha by alfredito and virgenes del sol by sumac...the latin spectacular disc is otherwise just ok. the rest of the songs on fuego have actual lyrics, slower tempos and didn't appeal to me, but this is fairly good. is "taki rari" sumac's finest moment? From what I've heard the answer is yes, but suggestions are welcome.


decided to trust the admirable strut label to school me on the italo. a little bit goes a long ways for me- too long as a matter of fact- the comp didn't really turn me out any. except the firefly track which is about as good as say, a solid p&p cut. The build up from 3:45 is prime time floor filler

your pretty face is going to hell

Most dedications are added to the start- but now that the rain and the sky and a room full of dirt have all been turned upside down together, you and i can do nothing but forget one another...All of this uselessness is dedicated to the last two women who went searching through the pockets of your corpse, a pair of sexed up lottery addicts who were complete strangers, both to us and one another


INFERNAL RAKET YAYO'S TACOS 050510


ROOFTOP RIDICULE YAYO'S TACOS 050710 delay guitar over a groove; experimental indie outfit (Recording quality C+ little  muddy and distorted)

the following track comes from someone else ripping a cassette tape... "SILVER BULLETS" is the name of the musical group. the tape was released in 2009 was limited to 100 but the rip of the whole album shouldn't be too hard to find. it's an enjoyable set of songs...all instrumentals that each manages to successfully cop a different sound from different tradition in global freakout...the track I'm posting here, Il Punto, is a simple guitar riff driven trancer in the vein of some of the more monolithic loop/spaceman 3 material - a formula which never gets dated and could use a lot more practitioners

The brunette had a glass eye from which fortunes were read, but of course, never her own...She had a lisp and a ship leaving port and a dog made of stone. She had never for a single moment thought of happiness, even when it held her hand and spoke to her in words that she could understand.  As I decided to leave behind everything that you are able to hear, I wished that she was one of the ones who took pleasure in life.  Instead of acting it out because she recognized that she was supposed to.  All of those other women are dead...or in love with other planets.  Far more courageous and profound.

BRIGHTMILLION BEAUTY BAR 050710 upbeat indie guitar and drums duo with backing tracks Recording quality B


The redhead could only truly be seen from across the room- by affection I meant crime and by beauty I meant a single visit to a foreign land. She was a little bit of both, but in the end, neither. Like the endless line of sleepwalkers who had gone before, she tied a rope around the neck of imagination and kicked it from the balcony. Do you think that rings a little false? Once you identify with your own solitude, you can stop making excuses for others. In the end, I asked the redhead for her name and told her that friendship was the opposite of vanity, although neither of us believed it. Everytime another person reads this ridiculous page, I make another enemy.

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:
