SATYAJIT RAY

Huggs put me on to this nice little soundtrack by Satyajit Ray, who had a chill career as a director - only 37 films. Also composed scores for most of them, wrote fiction, published books and worked as an advertising art director. Also he was a pimp as you can tell from this photo. Feeling these tunes,...

Ben Liebrand

Ben Liebrand must be a really nice man considering all the dope shit he's done over the years. Dude used to do mashup type remixes back in the 80's that were dope as fuck and also hosted a monthly radio show since the early 80s called the Grandmix, comprised of all his own edits and remixes. Apparently,...

ARMAND in the early 2000s

Ok - now Armand Van Helden in the 1990s amassed a discography worthy of a full career. He became a dance music deity with tunes like Witch Doktor, his remix of Professional Widow by Tori Amos, Funk Phenomena (which was the biggest tune of 1997 - following Da Funk in 1996 and Flash in 1995), Flowerz...

BAND NAME HELL

Looking at the Onion's Year in Band Names (highlights: Fecalized Rectal Sperm Spewage, 3 Piston Ass Hammer, Fag Cop) got me thinking about (former editor of Big Brother) Dave Carnie's made-up band names. A few personal favorites:Ham SaleHOV (Hot Ostrich Vagina)General NancyParticular Fondness For...

FOOD FOR MY SOUL

Doug, Daryl and Dennis Dragon riding this groove into the sun. Nice soundtrack to a baked Sunday afternoon in the mountains.

Valentine's Day

Just the loneliest day there is. No big deal. I'll probably end up spending it the same way I do every year. Jerking off with a vibrator in my mouth. Weeping.Here's a nice song:Cyber People - Void Vision createSummaryAndThumb("summary5411693688063691243"...

D'you like to (pause) MOVE IT?!

How's your collection of 90s dance mp3s? Hit up the 90s Singles blog to round it out. It runs pretty deep. They're 192kbps... is that decent?Also here's a horrid clip of Capital Sound performing live on Musique Plus (Quebec's version of MuchMusic) in 1994. It's truly awful. Enjoy. createSummaryAnd...

Q Tip

Q-tip was on Ellen last week - doin his own dang. The new record sounds good. I remember the first time I heard ATCQ was in 1990 when I was on vacation with my family in Los Angeles. I went to a record store and they had a PERSONICS machine. So I made a mixtape with a bunch of rap tunes which we had heard on the radio in LA that week (Rap was hard to come by in the nether regions of Canada at...

Green Velvet

Here's a old pic I found from 1999 of me and Green Velvet. We were djing a rave in Seattle. He was mad cool and a legend even back then. The picture was taken at the Howard Johnson Motel by a girl who said she was an exotic dancer. Flash came out in 1995 and no other club records could fuck with...
