MIX #2:A mix here from the early days of the cdr...before shuffle and the mp3 player made them as obsolete as the cassette.
I usually like to overlap the tracks on a mix just so someone will go away wanting the original versions. The sound quality on this, however, is a little less than the originals, so I'm letting it go as is...Ridiculous to believe it matters, actually, as it's scarcely likely to see much traffic.
"atxtlx- it takes the physical- ten days o.MP3"
1) arthur lyman from the too well rounded "Taboo" trigger records comp ...i remember listening to the martin denny easter special back on kxlu, eating refried beans out of a can, thumbing the amok books catalog and sacrificing virgins to satan. big up cyrano and dj amour and the molotov cocktail hour...i got a comp i made of their radio show and its going up soon!
2) theme from la dolce vida, obviously. Of course, this was recorded a number of times. This version is from a cassette tape, i think it was called music of nina rota...
4) shags inspired drummer going to town here. The band: Smoosh off of their"she like electric" CD. the gimmick was that these girls were, like, six years old when they recorded this, the only good cut on the CD...the reverb and flange carry the track over...
5) bonus cut off of the Big Youth Screaming Target reissue. I like the Dreadlocks Dread and Natty Cultural Dread a little more as LPs, really...If i was trapped on a desert island seventies Jamaican music would be enough to replace everything else...come to think of it... just about Babylonians as far as the eyes can see now...desert island about the sum of it, really
6) i bought the screaming target reissue at the delirious tower fire sale and sold it on ebay for what i paid. when tower died, it was really the end. it never a place to score something exceptionally rare or cheap, but it was reliable. you could go to a foreign city and there were flyers...zines in the rack. above all, it was a place to go when you didn't have anyplace else to go. a poor excuse for public space, but that was the century
7) Village Callers live... Vampisoul reissue. Whoa!!!...If you put this on and people don't dance, drop the fader and go home...seriously. The rest of this lp is good but this segment is in the zone...man did these kids have some heart!!
8)-9) Aztecs Little streets from Back from the Grave 5...Crazy how i can download 1000 garage 45's in the span of the two hours...Of all the people who made this possible, Tim Warren is king- if something was shit, he would call it shit...When garage bangers were expensive and hard to discover, that meant a lot...You bastards are spoiled- when I was a kid, you had to walk ten miles barefoot in the snow for a single garage punk unknowns comp.
8)-10) I think the CD was "chicago harmonica blues"???... Whatever the case, the cuts are: willie foster cryin the blues...blues sunnyland smith highway 61...found this cd in the used record store at Lou's. If you're ever hanging out in the breezy, vacuous san diego wasteland, go spend all of your money at Lou's. Unless you're a trust fund brat on the ken and barbie tip, the beaches north of sd are better as well.
11) appreciate it if you could tell me what this is...i vaguely remember it was some lyrichord battle of the African bands thing
12) Dark Comedy Plankton...fuck is this deep...the city at night for real...every Larkin track has some element that shows imagination but this has got the breadth and the balance...Only Q is better, and that is only just because of the monumental strings drop.
