  • I don't buy into the fetishism of a ┬ú10,000 label variation but good to be reminded every so often that it's all out there somewhere. I think I payed $12 for my not so unique copy of this 45.
  • Gives me ridiculous hope that I might one day plug some of those decades-old gaps in the wants-list, even if general apathy and being an inveterate record cheapskate aren't shortening the odds much. I like this track, though.
  • Nothing to do with the Saturday Night LP but this Schoolly/Mekon/Rhytmes Digitales remix of Skool's Out recently made a welcome return to my turntable
  • J i m s t e r said:I went to pick up #2 son from school last week and I could hear the kids in the music room playing Miles' "Milestones" on recorders. True story. Even though it was, y'know, a bit rough, it still brought a tear to my …
  • DocMcCoy said:If radio's influence is waning, it's because The Kids no longer have any need for traditional radio to act as a filter/gatekeeper anymore - music writers already learned this the hard way. Now more than ever, by the time it hits radio,…
  • Now you mention it, I think that's probably why I didn't use them again. The records were fine but the mails were really incessant..
  • Bought a few of times with no problems in the distant past when I was stuck for cheaper alternatives. Last record unexpectedly arrived as an lsraeli pressing on paper thin vinyl. Maybe I didn't read the listing properly...anyway service and grading …

  • yuichi said:Clippers for 2Bil. Bad investment if this is purely for owning and operating an NBA franchise. There's gotta be more to it for that kind of money. No doubt he took the tried and tested path of securing obscenely large loans again…
  • Invest in cat treats. It's like attaching your cat to a bungee and rescues you from the indignity of having to shout its stupid name out across the entire neighbourhood for 20 minutes every night. No matter how good a name you pick for a pet, I susp…

  • J i m s t e r said:Gary said:Think about it. I have oft contemplated what would happen if a ventriloquist had Tourette's. Would it manifest through the dummy? "Gottle o'geer, y'guckin gastard!" Wonder no longer.

  • disco_che said:Flomotion said:Ibibio Sound Machine. London-based collective. Great stuff. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of edit/sample based or completly self-produced? They're a living, breathing 8-piece band - I don't think …
  • Ibibio Sound Machine. London-based collective.
  • Yeah, faith is just as much a part of rationalism as it's part of religion or conspiracy theory. Science and history hang doggedly onto plausible theories until a new, better one comes along but while that theory's still in play doubters are given s…
  • I'm guessing it'll mostly be given as a desperation present to people who've suddenly got into 'vinyls' from people who have no fucking clue what else to give them. It should do well.
  • Done. I have no idea what a Campus Queen is.
  • volumen said:Wow, I'm old. Got this on the first (?) heatrock from Gary. Now I sit on Grail! Played it out at my club gig and people liked it and my teenage son and his friends really liked it so that's impressive for a Lawrence Welk sample. …
  • Well I've been foolio enough to never even bother to pick it out of the racks. Always assumed it was a crappy comp but just listening to it now and I WAS WRONG. Carmen playing now - love that bass. Thanks Harvey and Ketan.

  • J i m s t e r said:My gut feel is that the place is a Greek island. Not Santorini because everyone paints the domes there. Ios maybe. Yes, it does and I'd guess late 50s to early 60s.
  • I treat myself maybe a couple of times a year to a shave at an old school gentleman's 'hairdresser' (they seem to have some major issues with the word 'barber'. Supremely relaxing and pretty much negates any shaver-client conversation, which is exac…

  • A bowl of these, a good, cold vinho verde or a quality beer and I'm in heaven. I know that Portuguese explorers/traders were eating percebes in the Americas in the 16th century ... mostly found in Europe I think but they crop up all over the pl…
  • Absolutely love these but never been able to find them in the UK. Percebes in Portuguese/Spanish or goose barnacles in English. Or tortoise legs, if you believe my 11 year old.
  • J i m s t e r said:I've heard all the Gregory Porter stuff but I couldn't feel it. I didn't know why, because he can certainly sing. But after trying a few more times, I sussed it: Despite being technically great, it seems to lack any indiv…
