Recorded shortly after The Revolution disbanded in 1986, Camille was planned for release under a pseudonym using distorted vocals. Versions of Feel U Up and Strange Relationship date back to '81 and '83. The Camille project was assigned a Warner Brothers catalog number and planned for release in January '87, with Shockadelica as the lead single. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman appear on Strange Rel...

Quickie edit to remove a "hook" that had been annoying me for 26 years

Cut-and-paste edit I made for a disco mix awhile back.

Somebody collected up all the St. Ides commercials and had them pressed to vinyl. I bought two copies from Discogs and put them in a mix so you don't have to...

This album is dedicated to: Dr. Earl Cook, founder of the Cook Institute and inventor of the new safe-sex discovery, G.S.R.A., (genetic suppression relief antidotes) or, more commonly called, SEX PACKETS. We feel that sex packets will prove to be a major breakthrough alternative to high-risk sex. In 1987 Dr. Cook joined forces with Gregory E. Jacobs (a member of the Underground Biomedical Sex-Rela...

Back in my Northern Soul bag celebrating GWP Records... GWP were the initials of Gerard W Purcell, an artist/manager who had great success with country musician Eddy Arnold and trumpeter Al Hirt. He also worked with Lena Horne, the poet Maya Angelou and Dizzy Gillespie among many others. In the mid-60s he expanded the recording side of his business with Gale Garnett and several R&B acts, notably B...

Let's give Bass Patrol their flowers Bass Patrol was a Miami Bass group signed to Jose Armada Jr.'s Joey Boy Records, although technically, two separate groups. The first Bass Patrol made waves with their debut album Rock this Planet in 1988. The sound was a vocoder-driven Electro Bass album released on the heels of the era's successful tracks by similarly themed acts Dynamix II, Maggotron, and MC...

To me, Broken was a perfect Nine Inch Nails album because it was loaded with bangers and nothing else. The Fragile has 40 minutes of bangers and at least an hour of bloat. When it was released, The Fragile sold massive numbers, especially for a double album. I bought it at Best Buy (paying a premium double-cd $$) and, by the time I even got home, hated it. There would be a banger, then near silenc...

I confess that many of these lyrics don't hold up well in the #MeToo era but, what can you do, the '90s were different. No deep cuts here, just about exactly what you would have gotten had you tossed me an XL-II 60 in 1996 to fill up for you to bump in your Geo Tracker or Chevy Cavalier. 95 South - This is a Test 95 South - One Mo' 'Gen 95 South - So Clear Tag Team - Whoomp! (There It Is) Duice -...

I tried to imagine how I'd program two hours of dance music on two belt-driven turntables and (hopefully) a reel to reel tape deck for quickie edits after the horrible, and with the benefit of hindsight, pretty racist, 'Disco Sucks' riot during the summer of 1979. Disco may not be all the rage by that point with new wave and house music just around the corner but for now, it's that in-between zone...

I dug out some hard-to-find joints in my record collection, along with a few blog era all stars knocking around on the hard drive. 10ille - Alright, Ok Donica - Good Love Vanessa Marquez - Friends Are Shanice - It's for You Yvette Michele - I'm Not Feeling You G.

Let's all take an hour and give Master P his flowers while he's still here. October 31, 2020, marks the 25th anniversary of my favorite rap CD. I scooped it up at Tower Records, San Diego in 1995. To this day, it's one of a small number of jewel cases I kept after endless cd wallet purges. To celebrate 25 years, I ripped some of the hardest tracks, cut out two weak verses (+1 wack chorus that alwa...
