Was DJing at PostMod last friday and it went really well. Nice to see a packed dance floor all night. I was a little nervous about trying out a few new blends - walk like a hollaback girl and last night a DJ saved my life in herre - but they both went well.
Was down in the Greater London Area on the weekend to see family and friends. Highlights included poker at the Thuss farm, Mackie's at Port Stanley, and thrifting with Mom and Aunt Donna in Cambridge.
Records I got in Cambridge:
The Human League - Dare! (two copies!)
Donna Summer - Love to Love You Baby (fantastic Moroder production highlighted by the epic title track which runs the entire length of the first side)
Its Ed Allen Time (great men's workout record from 1965)
I also got a few cassette tapes:
Maestro Fresh Wes - Symphony in Effect (This album is really good, people need to show Wes some love. His music has aged really well - lots of fast breakbeats and fast rhyming.)
Young MC - Stone Cold Rhymin'
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet (oh my, the first side of this is intense - shot through the heart, livin on a prayer and wanted dead or alive)
Caught Bush League last wednesday at the Social. They haven't played in a while but where in top form. Darren is such a good front man; a true performer. It was all guitars this night though - super loud buzzsaws blasting all night. My ears were actually ringing for about 30 minutes after their set, it was pretty intense. I look forward to their set in a few weeks opening for The Gossip.
Got some good records the other day at the rummage sale at the Buddist Temple across the street:
Sesame Disco (the elusive companion to Sesame Street Fever is finally mine, includes future dance floor smash "Me Left Me Cookie at the Disco")
Jimmy Cliff - Reggae Greats
Toots and the Maytals - Reggae Greats
Lee Perry - Reggae Greats
Heart - Little Queen
The Band - Music From Big Pink
The Wrestling Album (WWF stars from 1985 record novelty songs and the like)
There were tons of other good records there that I would have bought if I didn't already have copies of them. The Buddist have good taste.
