it was like buying up one of pappawheelie's slsk folders.

this isn't working out well at all.

Where is PS321 flea market? Could be the guy from Iris records in Jersey City who always sells at flea marktets/street fairs and the like around manhattan and brooklyn.

I haven't seen the Moulton thing, I'm really broke right now and haven't bought any music in a long time except for 2 things I just got on ebay for "research" purposes.

As far as mancuso, even those loft sets are pretty eclectic, you could say in some ways disco is what is played by David Mancuso and not the other way around! Maybe not, but a lot of those records weren't disco then and are only considered disco because he played them.

I think that was the only thing by Strafe, though there were many mixes of that, and cover versions, and I think another Strafe? Walter Gibbons gets credit for mixing it. All that talk about Moulton and Levan comp CDs makes me wonder when the proper Walter Gibbons compilation will come out, or is there one?

Nice job scoring the Brooklyn Express, Mike. I got a beat up copy of it years ago and now just play the version they bootlegged on Ballroom because Cowley's I Feel Love is on the flipside, or something else good.

For those who dont't know it, Began Cekic getting Tee Scott to produce a slamming cover of Jimmy Bo Horne's Spank, where halfway through it this cool synth arpeggio comes in. You flip the record over and it starts with the synth, thus "69/change position". It also features the "Hey you" from Madness I guess?, some killer sirens, and the "It's Partytime" shout later used by Pal Joey...not sure if this is the first place or if it's from somewhere else, but it's a good way to get a party started, to play records where someone goes "It's Partytime".

though up until Saturday I would have never rec'd going out of ones way to hit it. i think it was a fluke thing, the guy bought out a storage locker or something. don't know who he is.

(and I wish you'd stayed in London, I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!)

is the "weekend groove" comp any good? i already have the todd terry tracks but i know jack shit about the rest of it.

You seem sorta young (too young to have "been there"). so does your musical expertise extend beyond the years 1977-1987? i don't mean this as a dis, i just don't understand how it could, being you're so versed in that period.

I don't profess any expertise, I just like different things from different periods, and yeah 1977 post punk rock diaspora into new wave I like a lot, and that early/mid 80s confluence of italo-disco, new wave, electro-funk into house/techno etc, sure.

but maybe you haven't been on the threads where I talk about Gene Clark or Slapp Happy or Del Shannon's psyche records or Terry Riley or Renegade Soundwave or any other personal obsessions of mine that don't fall within those very golden years...

I mean...iTunes most played =

Van Morrison
Roxy Music
Bert Jansch
Colin Blunstone
Peter Hammill
Glen Campbell
Them

and yeah, I'm the nicest guy one could ever meet.

I'm not Mayor of NYC for no reason, people.

DAN U RULE, GET OVER IT.

ESPECIALLY FROM INTERNET PEOPLE!

VERY FRAGILE EGO HERE.

There also was a rare version of this song on the Disconet remix service label; which incorporated sound clips from a Jeff Styker gay porno film. Very good and collectible.

it has those! that's that sorted, then.

I know A*MOMS from Hyped2Death. They were on Homework 6, which I think hasn't been re-released since Chuck's been going back and making sure he has everyone's approval.

am i making any sense?

There's another old guy, when I was djing at Sapphire a few weeks ago, where I hadn't been in ages, this guy comes in and starts tap-dancing. Nobody else in the room. And I remembered him, same thing, back from when Sapphire was a regular techno then disco party on wednesdays.

Then there's the guy, I'm sure you've all seen him, old with the close-cropped white hair who gets 2 amstel lights and dances around all jerky at the back of all the rock clubs to whatever band is playing.

i guess i owe that guy one.

what does this mean?

deoxit pen may help...

a good cleaning with the rubbing alcohol that has little/no water in it.

scrubbing with a pencil eraser.

what kind of cartridges are you using? Some, like the Ortofon Night Clubs, are infamous for having shitty contact. I just bought the Ortofon Electros and have less trouble. I put the Night Clubs on my home tables and keep them on, so they're not dropping out, and use the Electros for dj gigs.

thoughts/feelings on the "looking for a perfect beat" citibank checkbook commercial? i dont even watch that much tv and i seem to see it everyday.

Fuck citibank though...it should be "looking for a bank that doesn't have a million charges if you maintain a balance of less then 6000 dollars".

I need a new go-to store for $1-2 LPs. Not looking for 12" singles, hip-hop, house/dance or anything like that. Looking for classic rock, new wave, pop, country, r&b, jazz, etc. from the 70s-80s. Boz Scaggs, Chuck Mangione, Night Moves, Tubular Bells, et al. You know what I'm talking about.

Not a fan of Academy, Gimmie or Eat, to be honest--dollar bins are weak at these places. I love the PREX and Vintage Vinyl in NJ but I'm getting tired of hauling out there. How about that giant place in the Bronx that always gets mentioned, does that have this stuff? The place on Fulton downtown? The Thing? A-1? Places in LI maybe??

Thanks in advance

various flea markets? Not a lot of 1 dollar LPs in this city any more.

Housing Works on Crosby below houston.

That was all the info the guy gave me, do you know what they are?
