??Hola strutters!

In NYC, czeck Other Music and Turntablelab, and being distributed by Kajmere on the left coast. Link here...66(!) crackly 45s and 12s mixed with loving imperfection and the usual sound efx. A musical concentration of all things Jamaican, or JA inspired. From vintage and modern dancehall to the heaviest dubs, Jamaican funk and disco covers, reggae samplin' hip hop 12"s, classic ska sides and rare 2-Tone, vintage and modern ragga jungle, turntablist ska tracks and even dancehall singers doing opera. Musical murderation of the past, present and future. 66(!) tracks in all. Some real classics, and some real obscurities. Some real music. What a concept, eh? Anyways cop one and you'll be supporting the $?? foundation for record addiction.uno--> ??It Goes Up to 11!Rico 'Man from Wareika' Blue Note LPGeneral Degree 'Mr. Do It Nice' Mad House 12"Noonday Underground 'Self Assembly' Guide LPBanda Uniao Black 's/t' Commonfolk LPSoft House Company 'A Little Piano' Irma 12"Dreem Teem 'The Theme (Dub Vocal Mix)' Legato 12"Electric Mind 'Summing Up (Inst.)'

Its turned into a nice lil' thing, and will be happening every Tues from now on. Justin aka Cocoa Cracker Brown spends way too much time in the place (he runs the Nublu label during the day) but is beautiful peephole and critical darlings of the moment Kudu kick it live week in/out.People get the fuck down to anything, leave the hits at home. Ever seen 'They Live' with a memorable performance by Rowdy Rowdy Piper? Well to me, NYC today is invaded by aliens and brainwashed mofos, but at Nublu we put on the special shades and see what's truly up. The dancefloor resembles that fight scene in the alley. Camel Clutches and people jumping from the ropes. We're trying to dismantle the transmitter people, help us bring it down, this insane thing, insane thing.Kudu Live + DJs $mall ??hange and Cocoa Cracker BrownTuesdaze at Nublu (Tonight, 1/24)Ave. C btw 4th and 5th, East side of the street, look for the blue light.10:30pm on, $5 covertres--> cali dates...also, heading out to the Left Coast to hang with the rents and terrorize some folks musically out thurr. I don't know putting 'terrorize' in an email has put me on a Bush watch list, but if any NSA folks are reading this, you're more than welcome to come by as well! Have a drink on duty, I'm sure Bush is these days! Actually got some nice tings gwan so read and rock, rock on....We start with a good, real mexican meal. Don't worry I'm bringing my Beano, ok? You smell what I'm saying? Just be careful when you approach the DJ booth with a bad request, you might get 'crop dusted'. But no trip to Cali is not complete with some real salsa and some real deal funk/hip hop/reggae/disco/whatever, and I can think of no better place then the Root Down. An LA institution, going on like 5,6,7 years or some shit, always happening, one of my favorite places to play. Last time I was there I was dropping old school electro classics while some OG KDAY DJ was in the house vibing...don't get much realer than that.

Somehow tho, my old college radio station remains dementilly intact, shoutout to Kevin Stockdale who's been running it for years and keeping some culture alive in a place that has an airport named after John Wayne.

Rashi and co. have been holding it down for a minute at this spot, nuff respect due, got a killer crowd ready to get down to the heavy heavy sounds. Its a beautiful thing to see a packed dancefloor grooving to 70 bpm crackly dub, old school digital dancehall, modern roots, and of course some Terry Ganzie. Don't leave the home w/o it.

Black MerdaThis legendary Detroit freak rock-soul-funk band from late 60s-early 70s (Chess Records) has returned to action and has been tearing it up over the last year in their hometown of Motown with a series of amazing shows. Heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Black Merda was combining freaked-out rock with soul & funk around the same time as Funkadelic (and they were sporting towering afros and wearing outrageous outfits while Funkadelic were still wearing matching suits!) They now have plans to tour the country and play the festival circuit this summer. The show at the Beachland will be Black Merda's first show outside Detroit in decades.Where: Beachlandballroom Cleveland, OHWhen: Saturday -January 21 9 PM -- $10 (all ages!)
