FARK!Modern Soul/80's soul funk interviews with Cameo, Bill Summers, Slave, Switch etc...Or how about a section on how to make Bootleg records and how to get away with it...????And how about: Record Convention Etiquette do's and dont's, how to avoid getting socked in the face with a coin filled sock!And one of my favorite Record Convention Past times, Playing Jokes on your friends, how to get away with throwing in a barbra strisand, or Firestone Christmas record in your boyz stack of wax and have him payfor it only to find out when he get's home how the frak (Frak: that's OG Starbuck Slang from Battle Star Galactica ), did that get there???

    And how about: Record Convention Etiquette do's and dont's, how to avoid getting socked in the face with a coin filled sock!

    yo for real, record convention etiquette is a MUST. thats definitley one of the biggest downsides of going, its like people running to ps3's after camping out the night before, except its a dealer just opening his table.

    and the slide a random/wack record in your homies stack stays kept in practice

    right.

    especially for how many euro funk/european records are used in today's hip hop.
    mad lib? dangermouse? just to name two of thousands basically.

    where's the roubaix retrospective?

    wax p is a semi submission based mag though, maybe not too many headz are submitting these documents.

    I would like to see an informative article on Japanese rares (or commons as they often are).
    This is an area of diggin that has really only blown up over the last few years and I think an informative article covering the basic???s up to some holy grail ish would be an interesting read.

    How about a issue covering nothing but african music? Different styles (highlife, juju, rhumba, soukous,afrobeat etc) Different people/groups, Different places. I think there are at least 5 people on here that would get excited over that....

    write whatever he wants, all things ultimately being record-relatted.

    A Curtis Mayfield Tribute feature/issue would be a GREAT look.


    I'm with Drewn - if Paul C can get a 20+ page feature, a look at...

    - the unique position of Curtom
    - Curtis Mayfield productions
    - the recording of "Live!"
    - the financial drama that was the "short eyes" soundtrack
    - record porn of raer Curtis-related stuff
    - and a feature called "Cooking with Master Henry Gibson"


    ...should be possible, no?

    What's crazy is that there's yet to be a good book-length biography of Mayfield.

    That's true for a lot of giants of soul music, though... almost all of them, actually.

    I hear you but Mayfield seems especially glaring (his omission, I mean).

    You denying Curtis his due?



    I agree with Faux's point: there's a LOT of books that need to be written.

    Word around here is that this situation can be blamed on
    the one Marv Heiman[/b], overzealous executor of Curtis
    Mayfield's estate.

    (At least in terms of doing an authorized project, and being
    able to interview family members).

    I'm actually toying with the idea of doing a story on the Light label out of Waco Texas. Not living in the states would make it a little difficult, but I'm slowly becoming obsessed with the label, and I think it's a pretty interesting story.

    I'm missing the earlier issues, this hasn't been done already has it?

    And co-sign on all the prior suggestions, especially the ettiquette article.
