Every couple months I come across one song that I become absolutely obsessed with...the last one was Nick Straker Band's "A Little Bit of Jazz." This song is better, perhaps.

Isn't that Little Louie Vega? Not the same guy. (No disrespect - MAW are awesome.)
Anyway, djdee, if you can get "I Called U" on 12" vinyl, the narrative and conversations are expanded across 3 cuts - fantastic stuff.

But seriously, check that shit out. It blends perfectly with "Wonderful Person," too (surprise, surprise, but a good blend is a good blend).

Ah. I get you now! On a similar note, I'm REALLY digging Phoenix's "If I Ever Feel Better". I missed the boat on Phoenix when they came out, but this song is just perfect to me - I found it via the new Orland Oye DJ Kicks compilation.

Actually, I DL'ed the album mix after purchasing the DJ Kicks disc, with plans to get the Phoenix record when I have a bit of extra cash.
I didn't mind Erlend's vocal harmony, but I wish they he'd mixed out instead of slamming into the next record - the string outro on the album version is beautiful and exactly what the song needs at that point.
Do you have the Erlend comp? It's my new favourite CD.

'Blackout' is completely amazing and scary (I think it's on the B-side?).

He worked with Marshall Jefferson on 7 Ways to Jack and one website says he may have co-produced The House Music Anthem.
He was also an incredible DJ, there are some mixes on http://www.deephousepage.com

You mean "That's The Way Love Is"??? No, but Byron did sing "Devotion". Kenny and Byron were fucking stellar. Marshall did not perform but spun a wicked DJ set with a ton of classics.
Great crowd - people from all walks of life, including this group of thirtysomething black guys and their girlfriends who were amused by this weird little white dude (that would be me) who knew all the words to these classic house tunes. First I got funny looks, then I got high fives. A good night made all the more significant by the fact that I'd been feeling shitty and angsty all week.

'7 days of peace' / 'wargames' 12" is a fine thing.

I just got the French Kiss/New York/War Games/Jupiter 12" today, what a record. I love Lil Louis' shit, he is the man.
― pipecock, Thursday, 12 March 2009 07:52 (fifteen years ago) link
you just got that today? isn't that record like 20 years old?
― rio (r1o natsume), Thursday, 12 March 2009 16:01 (fifteen years ago) link
Surprisingly for a record that's on an underground label and has been out of print for ages, it isn't widely available. Asshat.

pranksters are the worst people
dunno if it was a prank or if they were just showing off their new kit and didn't engage their brain before they did it. awful outcome either way though obviously

Whoever did it is an artist or DJ manager, if he's genuinely ended his career then that's a lot of lost earnings he can take him for.

He's having a gig in here in August, so it seems the hearing loss didn't end his career, thankfully! I was thinking of going here, has anyone heard him spin lately?
