  • OK, thanks for the reassurance, guys. I shall now proceed to cop.
  • In some track (I forget which one) he says "If you hear any noise, it's just me and the boys". It always pleased me to think that that's where Parliament took it from, though maybe it was a common expression...
  • Very well known, but I'll put it here anyway:

  • Documentary edition:
  • Yeah, stupid, poorly-argued article, followed by a few decent comments (I have a lot of free time to read at my job:). One argument I didn't see made in the whole messy/silly "cultural heritage" debate is whether a neglected piece of one country's …
  • I thought when I saw the thread title it was going to be about this: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/28/nyregion/28blackjews.html?scp=1&sq=black jews&st=cse

  • This is very nice. Anyone got an mpfree? More rocksteady threads!
  • "Little Things" is simply one of the best rocksteady tunes not on Studio 1 or Treasure Isle I've ever heard. 2nd best Hemsley Morris tune IMO is "Stay Loose" produced by Clancy Eccles (out there on a Heartbeat comp).
  • This is good, though IMO the Salinas version is better. Did Jorge Ben ever record it himself? djmario said:MoogMan said: Thanks for the tip on the Neno's record. The next second copy I find is yours. ;) MM You're welco…
  • Since everyone is hating on Memphis Bleek I'll put myself out there and say I liked a couple of his songs: Mind Right (though I was never in love with the beat) and this one especially: Yes, the rest of his output was highly disappointing... …
  • One day the one and only Rob called me on the phone after having seen an ad in the newspaper that I was looking for his records... but that's a different story. Tell it fast, tell it slow...
  • Tati has many good movies but Playtime is his masterpiece. Try to watch this on the largest screen possible (videoprojector, etc.) as it was filmed in 70mm and has an incredible level of detail (including jokes) going on in the background. I've also…
  • Yeah - not sure what's up with those. I remember hearing a rumor that the original master prints were lost but I could be absolutely wrong. I keep almost copping the OOP Vampi Soul one, and then I think how annoyed I'll be that the last scene is cu…
  • Please tell the powers that be that a proper Our Latin Thing DVD would be appreciated. Thanks.
  • azymuth backed up a lot of people in the 70's on other albums. some that are worth checking are : ana mazzotti, silvio cesar and helio matheus to name a few. Word. Their bassist, Alex Malheiros (often just credited as "Alexandre") is on quite a fe…
  • slowish reggae version of Rapper's Delight also might have been General Echo Rapping Dub Style (Techniques 45) YES! That's definitely the one. Was shure it was a male dj and very slow... Thanks a mil.
  • Hey Florian, I'm going to take this opportunity to ask you about a slowish reggae version of Rapper's Delight that you (I think it was you and not one of the other djs:) played in your set at the Maroquinerie in Paris a year or two ago. It was aweso…

  • Couple obvious ones: Too Soon You're Old - Penny Goodwin Stop The Pusher - Bo Diddley
  • That Alton cover is nice but this reggae Spinners cover is better (not to threadjack): DivShare File - Otis Gayle - I_ll Be Around.wav

  • It's true it would make more sense that they did a 2nd issue changing the title to cash in on the Boogaloo craze. Since "La Magnifica" was later re-released with a different title ("Boogaloo ? Ese Pete Esta En Algo") and a later, different catalogue…

  • Muito legal! Big thanks for spreading the musical wealth Ferrari. A little record-collector gossip: when I saw Superfly Paulo a couple days ago I asked him if he saw this auction, and he said he recognized it as the copy he sold a couple years ago…
