BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

But my understanding re BMX and Hardy...some of those Hardy mixes from the early 80s are straigh up no different from Knuckles, classic disco, deep house, but within a few years he's definitely playing the earliest tapes of the serious new "house" records, but to be honest, it still sounds to me like those artists wanted to sound more like Electra, New Order, Gaz Nevada etc, then the philly/NY disco. Perhaps that's just due to the house music I gravitate towards, which is the New Waviest of the time. The BMX mixes I love, particularly Mickey Mixin' Oliver's, are where there's a great mix of early house, UK new wave, italo-disco, and then current top 40 hits. But maybe he's the "whitest" of the hot-mix 5, and maybe that's why I like him(using your terminology, I usually try to avoid equating funky music with black people and electronic pop with white people in public).

and ginny, john forde, etc. plus all the hype behind the black cock stuff and idjut stuff that just isnt that good.

and hell yeah, i dig for my shit. but ive passed on "rare" records because i dont like them, many times in fact. what im irritated with in fact is that these guys are taking the easy way out by just playing stuff that is rare instead of stuff that is rare and really good. really, anyone can take some $$$ and go to a dealer (and i know harvey and the idjuts buy from dealers, ive seen the dealers mentioning so on DJH) and buy their most expensive rare records and then play them. again, the parallel to what has happened in funk/rare groove digging is really obvious to me, where its just becoming about who has something that NO ONE ELSE has. its exactly the same attitude as jungle and dubstep and whatnot use in "exclusivity", and its something that turns me off. in the end it should all be about the music, and i feel like in this case it's not.

And for the record, hipster rock nerds have been talking about the Osmonds for a few years before the hipster disco nerds.

see, one of the main reasons i like the house/disco/techno/electro "scenes" (for lack of a better word) is their continuity. people have continually done these things and at the end of the day, you can mix up all these parts from over the years and it all still makes sense. its these little over hyped hipster cults that form around any given music (dubstep was killing me for a while since no one cared when that shit was being born!) that irritates the shit out of me. there has been hype around good music, and bad. but no music has ever truly benefitted from it. and i feel like this one is indeed one that is just way overblown already......

BTW, i did like alot of the selections on your boy's "italians do it better" blog, some nice shit on there (like that starbow 12") that isnt way overhyped but is still really good.

lol, DJs

mike's a good example of someone who doesn't pay much attention to the cannon. While everyone else is studying djhistory threads and buying bootleg edit comps, he's going to secret record spots, buying nameless records in bulk and playing the ones he likes.

I do that sometimes as well, but like, you have to have the time and money to go digging. The rest of the time someone props something on the internet, you check it out, and you buy the bootleg like all the other suckers.

and how do people rate the newer tirk releases?

DEMON DAYS: An official Planet E Selection - is a quality electronic music club night started in 2004 by acclaimed and influential Detroit-based music producer / DJ / innovator Carl Craig and New York-based DJ Gamall with special artwork provided by Amsterdam-based artist Parra. So far Demon Days events have taken place in New York, Chicago and Detroit. In 2006 the highlight was a special session at New York's PS1 with Berlin's masters of dub Rhythm & Sound. In 2007, Demon Days will be expanding operations with events in San Francisco, Toronto, and Berlin and beyond. The 2007 Demon Days series will kick off with a special NYC party at Studio B in Brooklyn on January 19th. The Demon Days night also acts a showcase for music from Carl's respected independent label Planet E Communications.

I am enjoying it.

For some reason I never got around to listening to that dj harvey mix and it is AWESOME.

Also, Whatever We Want's website has updated, but still has no info beyond "Prerelease Spring 2007."

"we don't care" = ?
"lasagne for 10" = chilly "for your love"
"size doesn't matter" = tina turner "whole lotta love"
"eat the jeans" = ?
"staying noid" = richard ace "staying alive"
"backwards is the best way forward" = gloria gaynor "if you want it"
"satchel on my doorstep" - roxy music "the main thing"
"your wistful sigh" = ?
"love ranger" = ?
"mike's tears" = ?
