Who's The Man (With The Master Plan)-1974


Well, it's birthday time again for me tomorrow. I still don't quite know what I'm getting into. I guess I need someone with the master plan to give me some advice.
I just got some great new stuff from www.earcave.com PPU continue's to be one of my favorite record labels into this year. Although I wouldn't mind finding a copy of this too. Kool and the Gang production, Dr. Dre made it famous and it can stand on it's own 2 feet pretty well. I wasn't even born when this came out, but man is it slick.

RARE PLEASURE-LET ME DOWN EASY[7'']


Found a copy of this track a few weeks ago at The Thing. Great Spring song. Uplifting, even if it's a break up song. I have a feeling this one's gonna be on heavy rotation for a bit. Now I just need the 12"!

Weird 1 Year Anniversary Party in Richmond, VA.

I'm goin down to Virginia in a couple of weeks to play this party. Should be a lot of fun. Funny enough I'm considering "not" driving my car. The traffic on the East Coast can be muderous, so I may be riding the bus down there. I guess there's a bus line called "Bolt" or somethin and it has free wifi. It will be worth the trip. Gettin outta Brooklyn is always fun. I guess RVA Magazine is also involved, check them out: RVA Mag

A lot of good people under one roof.

If you're in NY next weekend, go check this out.

Walking Home Final Version

Here's a track I just finished up. I used a Juno 6, Crumar Orchestrator, 606 and 707 on it. It's kinda dark and poppy. Enjoy

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...
