MID-SUMMER NIGHT / HOT AUGUST NIGHT
HELLO FRIENDS,I GOTTA SAY THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ONCE ABOUT THIS BLOG IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS.I GOT SO PISSED OFF LOSING OUT ON HIP HOP VINYL TO THE EVIL (AND APPARENTLY EXTREMELY WEALTHY) LANCE FROM MINNESOTA THAT I GAVE UP.I KNOW I'VE SAID IT BEFORE BUT THE COMPETITION ON EBAY IS RIDICULOUS AND I JUST COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE...SO I WENT BACK TO AN OLD FRIEND;THE CRITERION COLLECTION.THE CC IS YOUR FRIEND'S OLDER BROTHER WHO WENT AWAY TO FILM SCHOOL AND IS BACK NOW AND WORKING AT BLOCKBUSTER (PRETEND BLOCKBUSTER STILL EXISTS).HE CAN'T MAKE A MOVIE TO SAVE HIS LIFE BUT DAMN,HIS TASTE IN PICTURES IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY.DID I MENTION THAT DVDS ARE NOW DIRT CHEAP?WELL THEY ARE..AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT-AND RELATIVELY-INEXPENSIVE COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR THE SERIAL COLLECTOR HSP.I HOPE TO GET THIS BLOG BACK UP AND ROLLING SHORTLY AND I APOLOGIZE FOR LETTING MY RAPIDSHARE MEMBERSHIP EXPIRE.I'LL SEE YOU SOON,5000

WORLD CLASS-GIRLS AT THE PARTY 1986
GREAT RECORD HERE-AND ONE I THINK THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT HIP TO YET.THE COPIES ON POPSIKE ARE IN THE $30 RANGE WHICH SEEMS LOW CONSIDERING THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP VERY OFTEN....

GIANTS OF THE CITY-GET BUSY 1987
I DON'T KNOW THE STORY WITH THIS RECORD.IT'S BUSY BEE AND JAZZY JAY-2 NEW YORK GUYS THROUGH AND THROUGH-BUT THE RECORD HAS AN L.A. ADDRESS.I REALIZE THE LABEL IS MOST DEFINITELY REALLY JUST A BUSY BEE/GENCO OLIVE OIL OPERATION,BUT WHY WAS IT BASED ON THE WEST COAST?COULD IT BE THAT SOMEBODY MUST HAVE HAD SOME TAX AND/OR RECORD COMPANY ISSUES BACK IN 1987??...MISTER BEE,I'M LOOKING IN YR DIRECTION...AS FAR AS THE WAX GOES,I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE THIS AFTERNOON.NOR HAD I ANY IDEA IT EVEN EXISTED.I FOUND IT AT NYC'S BEST RECORD STORE-A-1 ON 6TH STREET-ALONG WITH AN ORIGINAL COPY OF INDETERMINACY BY JOHN CAGE....

SPRING HIATUS
HELLO FRIENDS,I'M TAKING A SHORT SABBATICAL,AS SOME OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY NOTICED FROM THE SCARCITY OF POSTS THESE LAST FEW WEEKS.IN A NUTSHELL,I NEED TO REPLENISH THE THE BATTERIES AND FIND SOME NEW RECORDS.WHICH IS NOT AS EASY TO DO AS IT ONCE WAS.THERE'S STILL A MILLION WORTHY RECORDS OUT THERE THAT I DON'T HAVE,BUT THOSE ARE THE SAME RECORDS EVERYONE ELSE WANTS TOO.AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE HAS DEEPER POCKETS THAN MINE.THE COMPETITION IS FIERCE TO PUT IT MILDLY-ANY PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN WORTHWHILE HIP HOP RECORD THAT HITS EBAY THESE DAYS IS ALMOST GUARANTEED TO SELL FOR $500.PROVIDED THE SELLER HAS LISTED IT WITH A SOUNDCLIP.I'LL BE BACK BEFORE TOO LONG,SO KEEP CHECKING THIS SPACE.AND GET OUT THERE AND ENJOY THE VERY MERRY MONTH OF MAY....

STUART DEMPSTER-UNDERGROUND OVERLAYS FROM THE CISTERN CHAPEL 1995
STUART DEMPSTER WAS A PROFESSIONAL TROMBONE PLAYER (HE PLAYED ON THE ORIGINAL "IN C" RECORDING BY TERRY RILEY) BEFORE BECOMING A PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON-OR MAYBE WASH.STATE-WHERE HE TAUGHT A MASTER TROMBONE CLASS.EVERY YEAR HE WOULD BRING HIS GRADUATING CLASS TO AN DE-CLASSIFIED AIR FORCE BASE A FEW HOURS FROM THE CAMPUS WHICH HAD AN EMPTY 5 BILLION GALLON WATER TANK.I FORGET IF THERE WAS AN OCCASION FOR IT,BUT ONE YEAR THEY MADE A RECORDING OF THE 9 TROMBONISTS IN THAT PARTICULAR CLASS PLAYING AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMPTY CISTERN WHICH-BECAUSE OF ITS MASSIVE SIZE-HAD A NATURALLY OCCURRING REVERB TIME OF A MINUTE OR MORE...I FORGET HOW LONG EXACTLY.BECAUSE EVEN THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT OF SOUNDS WOULD REVERBERATE FOR 90 SECONDS,AND BECAUSE LIGHTING WAS NON-EXISTENT,DEMPSTER DEVISED A KIND OF SIGN LANGUAGE USED TO CUE EACH MUSICIAN...THERE'S ALOT MORE INFORMATION IN THE LINER NOTES OF THE CD-ALL OF IT FASCINATING-THEN WHAT I'VE PARAPHRASED HERE...EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN FAVORITE CHILLOUT ALBUM,AND THIS ONE HERE IS MINE.I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND SEEKING IT OUT....

JAKE AND JAY-MY CADDY! 1988
YOU KNOW THIS BLOG,YOU KNOW I GRAVITATE TOWARDS RECORDS LIKE THESE.YOU KNOW,THE ONES THAT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE RECORDED BY MISTAKE.LOVE THAT STUFF...ON ANOTHER NOTE-IT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO HEAR HOW HIP HOP MADE IT'S WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK CERTAIN PLACES TO CATCH UP WITH WHAT WAS EN VOGUE IN (THIS CASE) 1985/86.THIS RECORD WAS RELEASED IN 1988 THAT WAS THE SAME YEAR "...NATION OF MILLIONS..." CAME OUT.IN NEW YORK AND PHILLY PEOPLE WERE ADVANCING THE GENRE AND RAP WAS HEADED INTO PRO-BLACK AND MILITANT SUBDIVISIONS AND IN FLINT,MI THEY WERE RHYMING ABOUT A CAR...I'M NOT HATING ON FLINT OR ANY OTHER SCENE THAT WASN'T EAST COAST.AND NOT EVERYBODY HAS THE BOMB SQUAD AT THEIR DISPOSAL EITHER.IT'S JUST WHAT ENTERS MY MIND WHEN I HEAR A RECORD THAT WAS RECORDED AT A CERTAIN TIME AND SOUNDS BEHIND THE CURVE BY A FEW YEARS.

JOHN FAHEY-FARE FORWARD VOYAGERS (SOLDIER'S CHOICE) 1973
I WAS INTRODUCED TO JOHN FAHEY WHEN BYRON COLEY WROTE A PROFILE ABOUT HIM FOR SPIN MAGAZINE IN 1995/96.I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ONE OF HIS RECORDS-I FORGET WHICH ONE-BECAUSE IT SPARKED A SERIOUS CASE OF DEJA VU.THIS MUSIC HAD BEEN IN THE BACK OF MY MIND SINCE I WAS BORN..I IMMEDIATELY RE-TUNED MY GUITAR TO AN OPEN C AND STOPPED USING A PICK.AS GREAT A GUITARIST AS FAHEY IS,WITHOUT THOSE 2 THINGS HE'S WOULDN'T SOUND ANYWHERE NEAR AS UNIQUE.I WOULD PLAY IN THIS TUNING FOR LONG STRETCHES,BUT NOT ON AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND THROUGH A MYRIAD OF EFFECTS PEDALS:2 BOSS DD-5 DELAY PEDALS,2 BOSS PITCH SHIFTERS PS-2 AND PS-3,A HARMONIX MEMORY MAN (CHORUS SETTING) AND I FORGET WHAT ELSE BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THERE WAS AN ENVELOPE FILTER IN THERE AND POSSIBLY A ROLAND SPACE ECHO THOUGH BY THAT TIME I DON'T THINK THE SPACE ECHO WAS OPERATIONAL.I ALSO HAD A RACK MOUNT EFFECTS PROCESSOR BUT I DON'T RECALL HOW I USED IT.THE 3 PEOPLE I WAS TRYING TO EMULATE SOUNDWISE WERE ROBERT FRIPP,FLORIAN FRICKE FROM POPOL VUH,AND KEVIN SHIELDS.I WAS NOWHERE CLOSE TO ANY OF THESE PEOPLE'S LEVELS OF VIRTUOSITY,NOT EVEN IN THE SAME SOLAR SYSTEM,BUT I STILL MANAGED TO COME UP WITH A PRETTY COOL SOUND.A UNIQUE SOUND,I THOUGHT-LIKE JOHN FAHEY.IT'S A SIGN OF REAL ARTISTRY WHEN YOU CAN IDENTIFY SOMEONE'S WORK WITHIN A FEW SECONDS-AURAL OR VISUAL.AND NO ONE ELSE SOUNDED LIKE FAHEY-HE MADE 50SOMETHING RECORDS COMPRISED OF HIMSELF AND A GUITAR.WHO ELSE CAN SAY THAT?OUT OF ALL THOSE FARE FORWARD VOYAGERS WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE ONE....

ROXANNE SHANTE VS SPARKY DEE-ROUND 1 1985
YOU ALL KNOW OF MY LOVE FOR ROXANNE SHANTE,I'M NOT SHY ABOUT IT.I HAVE MORE RECORDS IN MY COLLECTION BY HER THAN BY ANYBODY ELSE.YES,MORE THAN BIG DADDY KANE,BIZ MARKIE OR ANY OTHER OLD SCHOOL GIANT YOU CAN THINK OF.WHY?BECAUSE THEY'RE DIRT CHEAP!!!AND OF COURSE THEY'RE ALSO REALLY GREAT,ESPECIALLY THE ONES ON POP ART.AFTER REACHING A POINT IN MY RECORD BUYING CAREER WHERE SEEMINGLY EVERY RECORD I WANT COSTS MORE THAN $100 IT'S REFRESHING TO BE ABLE TO GET QUALITY FOR 5 BUCKS.OF COURSE YOU'LL FORGIVE A RECORD ALOT MORE THE LOWER THE PRICE IS I.E. "THIS EDUTAINMENT RECORD BY BDP IS NOT THE GREATEST BUT I GOT IT FOR A DOLLAR" OR "THIS BRAINWASH RECORD SUCKS.I CAN'T BELIEVE I BLEW $500 ON IT AND THE GUY HAS NO SKILLS WHATSOEVER".NEITHER OF THOSE EXAMPLES APPLY TO MISS SHANTE,THOUGH.HER ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY WOULDN'T COST MORE THAN ONE RECORD BY ANY NUMBER OF 90S RANDOM RAP CREWS.ON THIS LP SHE EATS SPARKY D'S BREAKFAST,LUNCH AND DINNER,FUCKS HER MAN,MAKES HER BED,DOES HER LAUNDRY AND CLEANS HER HOUSE FOR HER BEFORE SPARKY EVENS GETS HER GERI-CURL ON.IT'S NOT MUCH OF A "BOUT"-THAT'S PUTTING IT KINDLY.I WOULD LIKEN IT TO TYSON VERSUS MITCH "BLOOD" GREEN IN TERMS OF TALENT...YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH ROXANNE SHANTE....

KOOL KEITH-SEX STYLE 1997 VS. FUNKMASTER WIZARD WIZ-BELLEVUE PATIENT 1986
I USED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION GOING IN THE MID 90'S WITH SOME FRIENDS AS TO WHICH GANGSTA RAPPER MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY SHOT AND KILLED SOMEONE.THE CORRECT ANSWER IS NONE OF THEM..COOL C NEVER CAME UP BECAUSE NONE OF US HAD HEARD OF HIM AT THAT POINT.LATELY I'VE BEEN WONDERING WHICH NYC MC IS MORE INSANE?KOOL KEITH OR FUNKMASTER WIZ?YOU CAN MAKE A GOOD CASE FOR BOTH-FUNK WIZ RECORDED THE ONLY KNOWN PRO-CRACK SONG,LATER CHANGED TO ANTI-CRACK WITH THE ADDITION OF SOME "DON'T DO IT'S" DUBBED INTO THE CHORUS.AND KOOL KEITH IS KOOL KEITH-YOU DON'T NEED ME TO TELL YOU...SEX STYLE IS THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE OF FILTHY RAPS-A HIP HOP SUBGENRE WELL POPULATED AND ONE I'M EXTREMELY FOND OF AND WELL ACQUAINTED WITH.BELLEVUE PATIENT ISN'T REALLY UP THAT A(SS)LLEY,WITH THE EXCEPTION OF "THE BIG ONE",BUT IT ALSO ISN'T THAT FAR REMOVED IN STYLE FROM SOME OF BLOWFLY'S LATER LPS.IT'S ALSO DEFINITELY THE LESSER CELEBRATED OF THE TWO.ANYWAY,ALL THIS IS A REALLY ROUNDABOUT WAY OF SAYING THAT WHEN I THINK OF ONE OF THESE MCS,I THINK OF THE OTHER....

N-EFFECT-OUTSTANDING 1990
GREAT WEST COAST JOINT AND THE SECOND USAGE ON WAX OF THE GAP BAND'S "OUTSTANDING" I'VE POSTED THIS WEEK.THIS RECORD ALSO CONTAINS THE WOULD BE DANCE SENSATION "DO THE NIGGA!" WHICH IS-I THINK-PERFORMED WITHOUT ANY IRONY WHATSOEVER..THE BEST TRACK ON THIS IS "THAT ONE BEAT" WHICH IS A 10 ON A SCALE OF 10 FAST RAP BURNER....

COLD HEART CREW-KICK IT LIVE 1987
THE A-SIDE OF THIS RECORD IS CALLED "SHE WAS MY GIRL" AND IT'S A LOVE RAP.IT'S NOT A TERRIBLE TRACK,AS FAR AS LOVE RAPS GO,BUT I WASN'T REALLY INTO IT AND DIDN'T FEEL THE NEED TO RECORD IT.THE B-SIDE HOWEVER,IS A TOTAL KILLER....

TWR-THOSE WHO ROCK 1986
THIS IS THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE.IT HAS TO BE,I NEVER EVER PUT THE NEEDLE BACK IN DISBELIEF BUT WITH THIS ONE I COULD BARELY MAKE IT THROUGH THE FIRST TRACK.THERE'S NOTHING ELSE LIKE THIS.IT MAKES THE HARDEST OF BEATS SOUND LIKE PAIR OF CASTENETS RECORDED FROM THE ROOM NEXT DOOR.I CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND THE AMOUNT OF BALLS IT MUST HAVE TAKEN TO CREATE SOMETHING LIKE THIS-HIP HOP WAS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD IN 1986.THEY'RE WERE DEFINITELY PEOPLE COLORING OUTSIDE THE LINES (AFRIKA BAMBAATA COMES TO MIND) BUT THIS HAS MORE IN COMMON WITH STEVE REICH'S TAPE LOOPS AND BIG BLACK/STEVE ALBINI THAN IT DOES OTHER ELECTRO RECORDS OF THE ERA...I THINK IT SHOULD BE ISSUED TO EVERY PRODUCER WORKING TODAY-REGARDLESS OF GENRE-SO THEY CAN HEAR SOMETHING SONICALLY ALIVE AND BREATHING.I ALSO RECOMMEND LISTENING TO THIS BACK TO BACK WITH THE DOUBLE FEATURE 12 TO EXPERIENCE THE REALLY DUSTED SHIT.I CAN'T PRAISE A RECORD MORE-THEY BOTH TRIED SOMETHING REALLY DIFFERENT AND THEY EXECUTED IT PERFECTLY...OR PERFECTLY ENOUGH,THAT PART ISN'T REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME....
