Broken turntables, playlist, found keys & some news!

OK, so we did the Forward to the Caves radio show last night only after being informed that both turntables were up and running, so I grabbed 2 45 boxes with great anticipation of spinning a bunch of Funky Soul and following it up some some killer Garage & Psych but after only a few tunes realized that the right channel was not working on turntable 2... what a bummer.

The best laid plans of mice & men...

So our game plan was screwed up because we had to fall back on some CD's and change the whole direction of the show and went with a heavier 70's style psych sound. I did manage to get in a plug for DJ Prestige's groovy show he has coming up, here is the info lifted from his site:

The Budos Band will be playing live at the World Famous Asbury Lanes on Friday December 21st. It will be a full band gig (13 members), who will bring their brand of Afro Soul from the streets of Shaolin, (that’s Staten Island) to Asbury Park. DJ Prestige and Larry from Funky 16 Corners will be manning the decks in between sets, spinning Raw and Funky Soul all night. There may be a guest selector or two as well, so you’ll have to drop by the Lanes that night to check it out. The night will be called The 4th and Kingsley Soul Club, and will kick off a series of nights at the Lanes who focus on Funk and Soul bands.

Sounds pretty sweet, so if you in that neck of the woods you should attend & support,
as DJ Pres is seriously kicking this little funk & soul scene in the ass and making some head way! Plus he's a pretty ace dude outside of being an amazing DJ. After watching his set at the last 45 session my dick shriveled up between my legs and my jaw hit the floor. simply killer!

Any way for those paying attention here is last night play list from the radio show.
We hope to get the turntable situation sorted out and we most likely will not be there next Thursday as we will be on our way to London for a one off gig with my band Solace!

Foward to the caves radio is back!

Tonight!

8 to 10pm EST

After taking a few weeks off in a mini protest because WLFR and Stockton college can't get their shit together (broken turntables, broken microphones, etc...) we will be back online tonight!

Hopefully the turntables will be working and shit will be fixed because i brought 2 45 boxes loaded with groovy soul, funk & psych as well as a suitcase full of full length vinyl containing some heavier psych from the 70's!

So if anyone is around and bored tune in & turn on! It's gonna be a wild ride!!!

Also, be sure to check out JJB's blog Eye Eat Music Her new post is a KILLER!!!

Cheers!
DD

Blogging

Yours truly with a few of his favorite things: Beer, Girly covers, and Masks

So, here i am at working digging around all these KILLER blogs with all this music posted everywhere and i feel like such a little fish in such a big pond. This is all new to me and it's kind of overwhelming. I don't even know where to start. I'd like to give everyone who has linked, posted, or talked about this little tiny blog here a huge shout of thanks and just wanted to say hang in there because things will only get better over here! I've got a huge cash of vinyl that i can't wait to rip and share with the lot of you!
Cheers!

Edit: here's a little something inspired by the new flea market funk mix!


DD

A few new ones...

I spent the weekend removing ALL my records from storage. Now they are all stacked ceiling high in my folks garage and the emore i look at them all the more i realize what a daunting task it's going to be sorting and cataloging and getting this is some sort of order, but it was cool doing a little digging in your own records and finding stuff i had forgotten i had!

Anyway, with X-mas looming and the prospect of Santa bringing the devil here a mp3 turntable, it should be soon that i will be able to download some tunes for the few that actually tune in over here.

In the meantime, here's a hot little cover and another cha cha for for eyes!

The cha cha cover isn't a true winner as the chicky babe is a so-so, but the red & white striped stocking make up for it! and the other one is a WINNER in my book!
Some bare feet, a little belly meat and a little camel toe action! Funny, but that picture was taken over 40 years ago and she has to be in her 20's so chances are that hot number is an old ass granny now or even possible dead....

Asbury Park 45 Session Play List, Tech problems, good times & lost keys...

whoa!

My head is still spinning a bit from last nights jam session as i sip some luke warm coffee and try to put the events that took place into some form of order.

Man, it was a whole lotta fun and there was some serious music spun. I can't wait to see play lists from everyone so I can start finding some of the wicked shit that was played!

Yours truly got off to a shaky start due some technical problems and in some part i'm sure my utter stupidity but alas all was rectified and the fuzz & funk was put forth!

i also lost my keys last night which didn't make for a fun time trying to get in the house at 3AM without them so if anyone finds a set of keys PLEASE let me know!

I'm still a bit out of it considering MANY Guinness were drank last night and i very rarely see 3AM anymore being a working man and all so I'm not going to get too detailed since details are a bit "fuzzy" but everyone killed it and i had a wicked good time!

so right to the point, here is what the devil dick played:

Sir Joe and Free Soul - (I've Got) So Much Trouble In My Mind - Mantis
Bob Franklin's Insanity - Don't Lose What You Got (Trying To Get Back What You Had) - Westbound
The Moods - King Hustler - Red Dog
Fantastic Epics - Fun and Funk Part III - Tories
Third Guitar - Down To The River - Rojac
The Wild Magnolias - Smoke My Peace Pipe (Smoke It Right) - Polydor
Ike & Tina Turner & The Ikettes - Contact High - Liberty
Sound Experience - 40 Acres and A Mule - Soulville
Iron Knowledge - Show Stopper - Tammy
Masters Of Soul - I Hate You (In The Daytime And Love You At Night)- Duke
Bags - It's Heavy - GSF

Many thanks to DJ Prestige for putting this thing on and having the old man back. If you aint getting your ass down here for this shit you is missing out BIG!

Cheers!

Cold as a witches tit this morning scores & red hot funk later tonight!!!

Man o' man it was cold this morning. After dropping my kids off this morning i got out to "the spot" albeit a little late. Jack the Ripper, Prime, Prestige & JJB were all already out there along with usual suspects, aka, the meatball, eggbeard & the old man, so i didn't hold much hope of finding anything after the bones were already picked clean by the vultures that were about but i dug deep and found a few things.

The old man was holding a record for me which I was thankful to score. A nice clean 1958 original stereo pressing of the Rock-A-Teens album woo-hoo. It's more rare than the mono and i guess it books pretty high, or at least the old man told me so. So needless to say this wasn't a dollar score buy WAY under what it books since he only "traded" for it. I'm psyched to have it because it's a great early little rock and roll record with some killer instrumental cuts. It has a little writing on the cover but whatever, you don't play the cover!

I also score some cool pic sleeves on the cheap @ 50 cent a pop and some cool 60's RnR/Psych 45's and a few cool LP's.

Anyway, looking forward to tonight's 45 session as i pulled some serious shit to spin and hope some folks will be digging the fuzzier side of some of my choices! I had a little mini heart attack this afternoon when i couldn't find one of my 45 boxes with hsome of my money in it! but alas it was found and I am fucking ready! (pardon my french but i am a little excited!)

enough babel, here are my scores today.

Asbury Park 45 Sessions:

This Friday!



I aint got much else. Just got back from a LONG weekend in Boston recording withh my band and I'm feeling pretty beat up but way looking forward to spinning some deep funk grooves with some fuzzy overtones this Friday. come the Funk Down!

Also, be sure to check out JJB's blog Eye Eat Music For some groovey new tunes!!!

A few scores and thanks!

I was going to post this on Sunday but waited until after the Flea Market Funk meets The Devil's Music mix was posted so it didn't get in the way.



Also want to give a public shout once again to DJ Pestige for the most exceelent job he did on the mix. I'm glad some folks dug it. I must have listened to both mixes 30 times already!


Thanks Pres you are truly the man!


So here goes last Sunday's post today!


I got up early today and believe it or not my little man wanted to get up and go to the flea market. Not to look for records but to look for star wars figures. So of course i was all up for it and got a little digging in. It was cold but the coffee was hot. And there was a lot of action out there even with the tables covered in frost. I found some cool records on the cheap but no star wars guy for the little man. I had to explain to him that some days you score & some days you don't but its all in the trying.

Here is a list of some of the scores: I got a nice mix of Rock & Soul stuff with some cool & odd LP's. Some of this stuff I already own but these were pretty nice clean copies.

If anyone has any information on the Ill Bred Mind 45 please let me know! I had to buy a whole box of common stuff to score it and I wasn't going to let another Soul Invaders Inc scenario happen so I bought the whole box just to get this one 45. It is an organ heavy psych number with a cover of "walk on by" on the flip and no information on the record at all, not even song credits. I looked online and seached popsike and couldn't turn up anything on it so if anyone has and info please contact me and let me know as it seems pretty "rare"...

Ill Bred Mind - How Can You Be Happy Today - P.S.L.

Clash of the 45 boxes: The Heavy Old Man Mix

So last night I met up with Flea Market Funk Ace No. #1 Soul Dude DJ Prestige and had a little clash of the 45 boxes. Jenn & I rolled up a little after 7pm with beers & 45 boxes in hand. After some chit chat and some KILLER vegetarian Caribbean food from Sister Sue’s in Asbury we got down the business at hand!

We had a kind of 45 war. We each picked out 10 45’s and my man Pres was kind enough to let me make the first move. So I being the new guy on the block had to go all out with my move, which he followed up in true DJ Pres fashion. And then we each “threw down” a 45 on each of our “turns” going back and forth each throwing down a 45 until we were out of records. 10 records each, resulting in 2 different mixes! It was pretty cool. At one point Pres took back one of his picks and went to an alternate 45 box because he wasn’t feeling the one he threw down fit the mix! A true pro!

Then my man got down in front of the turntables and mixed that shit up! I think he is going to be putting the finishing touches on both mixes tomorrow and each mix part 1 & part 2 will be posted on each of our blogs, Part 1 on Flea market Funk & Part 2 right here.

So stay tuned because I guarantee some Groovy, Heavy, Funky, Soul goodness!

I can’t thank him enough for hooking this up. He did all the hard work, I just sat back threw some choice 45’s down (and drank beer) and he’s putting all the pieces together. With any luck & with Prestige’s help I will be able to start downloading my own tunes soon!!! (trying to teach an old dog new tricks ya know!?!)

Cheers!

45 of the day: Aaron Neville - Ape Man

I used to have this 45 but no longer do.

It's a great little dance craze type number where Mr. Nevill's "dance" is acting like an ape!!!

I no longer own this baby and would love to come across another copy. I've been passively looking for a few years now but no luck. Any leads would be "HIGHLY" appreciated!

Edit: I just found a few copies on ebay and i will be bidding soon!
Do yourself a favor and buy one too!

Record's of the day, missed WFMU record fair & run in w/ the soul invaders 45 guy...

I didn't make it up to the WMFU record fair as I am trying to be thrifty these days, i have some things coming up that are going to require some cash. IE, studio time w/ my band solace and plain tickets to London for a one off gig w/ Orange Goblin Nov. 8th but i did manage to get out to one of the flea markets and buy some trash.

So today i give you my 2 new latest editions to the devil's music record cover club.
Both for a buck. I also got some odd ball 78's and a few minor league rock records as well as some really cool and "odd" jazz, soundtrack, electronic, spoken word and folkways type ethnic records.

I have my fingers crossed as a friend of my mother has informed her that a relative has just passed away and he had a "HUGE" record collection and asked my mom if her son, that being me was interested. well of course! so we shall see how that pans out.

I also had another run in with the guy who had the soul invaders inc 45 and all i can say is the guy is pretty out there. He seems real "odd" about parting with this 45. he says he still has it and that he is going to "give" it to me if i buy all of his 78's he has but when i ask him what kind of 78's he has he tells me he doesn't know. Well i aint buying things sight unseen ya know...??? so I don't know what is going to happen with this damn 45! I have my fingers crossed but I aint holdin' my breath ya know what i mean?

Anyway here is a list of my recent scores:

78's
