Klapto - Queen Of The Night (Live Festivalbar 1984)

This chick looks pissed in the video. The dude keeps dancing around her like such a goofball. No wonder why she's so bummed looking. Insane that they can perform with only a bar stool, some ryder. One of my favorite songs. The male vocals are so new wave and melancholy soundin. "Everybody knows me downtown on the scene." Enjoy!

The Lost Generation You Only Get Out Of Love What You Put In

Another slick funky track. I don't even have this one, maybe I can dig one out of The Thing's basement this weekend with a little luck.

Dramatics - Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get

So true. I remember my dad listening to this in his garage as a kid. He'd be tooling around on his hot rods. I heard so many cool songs in his garage never really thinkin much about the lyrics. Of course as I've grown older I tend to listen with a more tuned in ear. This song has some an amazing song structure, horns and of course vocals. Some of the coolest most "honest" lyrics ever. "Some people are made of plastic, you know some people are made of wood, some people have hearts of stone, some people are up to no good"... Whatcha see is whatcha get now baby...

T-shirts???

I'm thinkin about making some t-shirts. I don't know anything about design. But if anyone would like one let me know. I'll try and work out a final design sooner than later.

Records weigh so much as I've stated before. I bought/was given quite a few rwcords on this trip. As much as I really do love them all, it wasn't easy gettin them home. Funny enough I'm still not home but I am close. Not many people play "vintage" records. Those who do, I salute you. It ain't easy. I'll be putting some photos up soon as well as some tips on record stores. Get em before they all dissapear...

Dj's FEEL & DJ CHUPACABRAS | Moog Electronic Dancing Club Barcelona

I arrived in the UK over a week ago, went down to Barcelona for 3 days and am back in the UK. While in Spain I went by Moog club and it's just as I remembered it. This was always one of my all time favorite places to go see Dj's. Not massive in size and a much more intimate setting to see some great acts with an amazing soundsystem. Dj's like Jeff Mills, Traxx, the Hacker, I-F, Zero, or Angel Molina can be seen here. Omar Leon is one of their resident Dj's who is also in charge of the booking now, and he ALWAYS kills it. I'll be playing alongside my friend Dj Feel who was my partner in crime back in the Nitsa Club days. Please come out! I really wanna catch up with all my old friends!
