my funny valentine

I've been staring at a computer monitor for 20 hours straight. what I've been thinking about, underneath it all, is a sound nearby where no one was reflecting on themselves- but that's nowhere near how it is in the here and now.

couple of great new blogs if you are interested in unmixed dance 12"s: rippedinglasgow and techtech2009 (RIP)...posting some ace out of print techno and house 12"s from the underground masterminds of rave. shed a couple tears, frankly...while a lot of it's too stompy or too crap pressing, there's some real deep genius if you look hard enough

speaking of the golden age of rave, the fabio 10.08.96 that's up on the metalheadz site is tits and a bag a chips...Every record he plays is classic of unique...right after the "groove therapy" beatdown the airy deep "threshold" drops and you are officially done in...

http://ravearchive.com/ has some of the tapes you use to drool over on the pureacid site...been knocking that up left and right

I've ripped one of my favorite tapes for all my anonymous friends out there

MIX #3

Apollo & J Boogie - 2 Styles Fu is a 2X4 jungle mix where the turntabilism really brings a grooving selection to the next level. I've listened to this damn thing 30-40 times and I never get sick of it. one cat mixes and the other scratches and the sum is more than the parts...The other side is lost, it was hip-hop...I got the tracklist somewhere. I remember gang related, congo natty, lil kim and kraftwerk...yeah, really...its good.



if ya wanna download this clicking on the divshare logo should take you to a link

(UPDATE 09/10: link is dead...i think it has to do with not having a unique file name on the divshare servers!!!)

hope sandoval has a new song out...for an album in september...fair, but the chorus could be better...candidness of the vocals is as arresting as ever...which is a nice surprise

Here's a video that I made ten thousand and fourteen years ago. It stars son of chipped tooth to count every grain of sand from a shopping cart versus no parking you will be towed versus the elbow of new, perverted romance- Now we are at last alone and always:
