    Boogie rock - recommendations?!

    All appreciated again...agreeing on "Tres Hombres" now I've heard it & had completely forgotten King Harvest...not sure its gonna become a big favourite genre for me, but nice to flesh it out a bit... Wouldn't have thought of Blue Cheer in here, but "Summertime Blues" is a hell of a record...

    Can you school me on david rodigan?

    Been watching a ton of the vids this evening & I think I want to BE Rodigan! He looks like hes been having an amzing time for a very long time. Too many good bits to list, but hes like a polite assassin in this one, playing Supercat against Jaro...

    Trading records for a living

    Yeah, I think it must be - some of the stuff I've checked out on Youtube etc re: Yank record shops/barns just makes yr jaw drop....I'm sure yr all aware of The Thing in Brooklyn, for a start, which looks completely insane... Also, slightly off-topic, but was it on here once I saw a link to DJs'...

    Boogie rock - recommendations?!

    Cheers alll...will take a while to digest the ZZ Top, but that Boz Scaggs is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of... More?

    grime acapellas?

    I have no idea how to upload stuff, but I found I did have one on the computer already: Black Ops "Duckin the 5-0"...came off Slsk a few years back. I guess if yr not fussy on sound quality, there were tons of a capellas on those DVDs that were all the rage for a while too, but then thats not...

    Trading records for a living

    Revival 9,000,852... You can definitely make money doing this...small fry next to making a living off it, but I know a couple who sold stuff from their arty & diverse but not enormous collection & charity shops & kitted out their new flat nicely from it, on Amazon Marketplace of all places...

    JB Simbleton / Quincy Bones

    Revival thread number 852...plus 1 on this one...I MIGHT have a rough old tape of the track somewhere, but I'd really like the vinyl... I actually saw them at the time, in Cambridge. They didn't have the vinyl with them & I asked for the address so I could mail order one & they were all funny...

    Can you school me on david rodigan?

    Yet another revival thread... I've been aware of Rodigan for years & listened to him a bit on the radio, but I'd never seen him doing it in concert...what a livewire! Theres a bunch of good bits off the back of that original youtube link...it goes pretty nuts at the start of this one: I...

    grime acapellas?

    Revival time again...I've only got the Crazy Titch one & would like more for possible use in the 'studio' (aka Living Room). Anyone got any to actually upload?

    soca in grime?

    Trawling the archives again & thought this was interesting in the light of Funky developments...not sure K2 Family are gonna turn up on the next Rinse compilation or anything, but its some historical context, I guess...

    Funky/London/UK House

    Oh yeah, I'm into that for sure. Microgenre names are a good way to guide you back to stuff you'd overlooked though - you can happily throw the map away when you get there :)

    The sacred cows

    I think that was why I never quite got to FWD before I moved...There was El-B - the guy who started the whole thing to my mind - saying he was shocked to see no-one dancing & was doing a full-on about face & going back to 4x4. And he ruled at that too...that El-Tuff 2-3 Bass /Deep Deep Love...

    Chance or Aleatoric music

    James Tenney is GREAT. Dunno if it would fit into whats being spoken about here (I'm cr*p at music theory), but that dead early piece based around the Elvis record freaked me the hell out in my youth...Theres a....challenging...compilation of his stuff you can hold of fairly easily online I think :)

    Boogie rock - recommendations?!

    I suspect theres a thread here somewhere about this (the Black C*ck one I think mentioned it obliquely), but anyone got any good Boogie recommendations? Its something that seemed largely forgotten for years & has been reappraised since the likes of Mr Scruff varied the dancefloor up a bit. I...

    The sacred cows

    Ha...that was actually my tiny joke about what I mentioned above re: dubstep...putting any random 'ethnic' keyboard sound on things & claiming it to be revolutionary....hey, I'd LOVE to hear some stuff where it works though! Gamelan is obviously pretty ace when its done right....really like all...

    The sacred cows

    Preparing to get torn to shreds here... Maybe not in all circles, but certainly here & in many other places, I think 'golden era' dubstep is a massive sacred cow, although whether it will stay that way remains to be seen (been here before with drum n bass etc). I feel I can just about get away...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    Ha...just looking the place up on Google & this pops up: "Situated in Hackney Wick, Geneva's keeps rocking until dawn, fuelled by the rhythm of the neighbouring A12 bypass. And if you need a break from the dancefloor, why not pop up the road and treat yourself to a handgun?"

    school me on tribal house (and tekno)

    Oh yeah...Francois K....anything he does is pretty nice....really liked that Moloko mix a few years back...

    Funky/London/UK House

    My favourite part of this Funky thing has been it forcing me to go back & rethink Broken Beat, which I thought was just OKish until recently. Now I love the stuff & have picked up loads of second-hand cheap stuff - just listening to Opaque on Archive Records at the moment...great...

    records that sound better at the wrong speed

    Another revived thread... Yeah, theres been a few things that have been labelled up to play at either speed....theres one on one of the Aphex Analogue Bubblebath records, which he had clearly made with some scetions slow so they sounded jungly when sped up & others fast so they sounded...
