June 21, 200717 yr ^hm found Cocksucker Blues on dvd. Odd little online company selling it, of course. Saw the Stones in Akron on, I think, that tour.
June 21, 200717 yr ^Have you seen the movie, "Sympathy For the Devil" ? The movie is about, uh, propaganda (?) but it follows the Stones through the recording of the song, Sympathy For the Devil. Interesting look at old time recording techniques. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063665/ not for kiddies yeah ive seen that, good stuff. most of exile was not recorded in a studio but instead via remote recording at micks house in england and keefs in france. they were exiles due to british tax woes. by all guesses it should have been their worst record, considering the scattershot recording, the bloated fame, the drugs, & the hangers-on....but instead it miraculously turned out just right. thanks in no small part to that mississippi pool hall vibe that hangs over it. jmeck that is too funny. haunted by the ghost of brian jones. no doubt a haggard nico and anita pallenberg by his side. i certainly agree and like all the stones records up to a point as well (i go one past you, i dig undercover too). i was just narrowing that decades long ouvure a bit. yeah i have lots of great show memories at the front row. i even ran across that spinning stage during a couple ss johnny & asbury jukes shows. besides the cheese, they had plenty of r&b and rock acts too -- msb aside, i also saw the other local heros like rachel sweet and the o'jays and stuff like that too.
July 14, 200717 yr This morning I woke up in full House Music (for those in Cleveland, Chicago & Detroit) or Garage (for you folks originally from NYC) affect. Most of you young whippersnappers won't know these songs, unless you're into ho These songs I heard when I went to the Jungle in London for the very first time. When I moved back to the states they were playing in the Clubs in Cleveland and New York You don't know me. I've always felt this song best describes myself when I was growing up. The Bomb was just insanely cool. When I moved to NYC, this was the first song I heard at the now defunct CBGB's http://youtube.com/watch?v=jo2ydB0TCu0 I can't get no sleep with Masters at Work featuring Ms. La India! http://youtube.com/watch?v=MMn7ToUPizQ Then I put on the remix of black betty which was originally a southern rock song remixed into a HUGE classic house song! Here is the original version - aint this a hoot?! Next up I had to go Deep in Vogue by Malcolm McClaren the video features the legendary Willy Ninja - the father of Vogue - God rest his soul ....He was huge in NYC Clubs well before ms. madonna "discovered" vogueing :roll: :roll: then love is the message. A song from soul train that was remixed in the 90s as a house music classic! My father loves this original version of this song. http://youtube.com/watch?v=F3DIkHerPXA&mode=related&search= Then I had to Move your Body one of the greatest (Chicago) House songs eva! This is the song they would play when the doors at Traxx would open at 1AM. The memories........ :cry: :cry: http://youtube.com/watch?v=p18I11vE1nE Another Traxx - Aqualon - U 4 RIA favorite Lonely People. Brings back memories when clubs had "a rope" and were selective in who they let enter their venues. http://youtube.com/watch?v=I7PMMl_-yY8&mode=related&search= You used to hold me....one of the songs I played on my answering machine after my X and I broke up! :evil: :evil: then followed it up with Dr. Love another disco song AND group that has stood the test of time...even today when you hear this song at a club, people RUSH to the dance floor http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kc1xiV7UoR4 then the moment my ended with the super classics.....too bad there videos for those songs! work me goddammit the ha dance (the vogue battle anthem) I'll be your friend And I can remember well into the 80s when clubs would end the night with Love Hangover, by Miss Ross http://youtube.com/watch?v=qbC8PQdZ2ag I miss the days you could go to the club and just dance and socialize, the 80s and early 90s were the shit!!

July 15, 200717 yr MayDay, I knew you'd get a kick out of those! Get your hands of my man....That took me back! You get points for that!
July 15, 200717 yr MTS & MayDay I should slap you both! Old school House and party music. MTS, you should have come to the gym this morning all the muscle queens were outted when they played house music and they played one particular song I haven't heard in decades which has been remixed. MTS a man of your age should know this song and like it since its from one of your people! They played you're just the right size, by Charo - Chuci Chuci! I had to dig out Play the world by Sax it up by The sax man work me goddammit! French Kiss by Lil Louis Percolater by Cajmere Not gonna let by Colonel Abrams What was the nanme of that club on East 12? that was all house? When I would go out in summer or when I came home from school that place would be packed.
July 15, 200717 yr SHUT UP! I totally haven't heard that song in yearssssssssssssssssss! I know I'm old! Percolator would always play at numbers and I love Colonel Abrams! He was hot back in the day! Charo is Spanish not Puerto Rican! I think you're thinking of Uncle Henry's it move a few time but was always on St. Clair.
July 15, 200717 yr MTS you have a rock solid memory. Thank you for taking me back in time. I don't remember Traxx but U4 RIA was a happening place back then. It had one of the most high-tech lighting systems in Cleveland. I think I may have been to Aqualon one or twice. It was in the flats, accessible only by elevator? If so, then yes, I was there as well.

If so, then yes, I was there as well. My memory is far from rock solid. Yes, U4 RIA was the only reason to go to the westside! LOL It was a nice club until it went straight. sorry, but once it was "discovered" it was never the same. Yeah, Aqualon could only be accessed via the industrial elevator! I remember when Lady Bunny, RuPaul would regulary perform there.

Haha .. true. But neither does Radiohead. Any good outlets for indie bands in Cleveland, pope?
July 15, 200717 yr grog shop and the beachland ballroom. and at least radiohead is in the ballpark (relative to cash that is)
July 16, 200717 yr Dammit MTS, you're making me dig out the oldies but goodies: Only for the Headstrong Mix This Pussy Only for the Headstrong best track for me would be Dominator by Human Resource. That's still a kicker for me Human Resource - Dominator (Joey Riot & Technotrance 2005 Rmx) [mp3=200,20,0,center]http://www.openftp.net/ftp/ftp/upload.2006/upload.2005/Hardcore/Hardcore%20Nation%202/213%20-%20Human%20Resource%20-%20Dominator%20(Joey%20Riot%20&%20Technotrance%202005%20Rmx).mp3[/mp3] I'm Bigger, and Bolder, and Rougher and Tougher, in other words Sucker, there is no other On Mix This Pussy, well, Tenaglia has always been an excellent DJ. Damn, that cd is 12 years old. I worked at Aquilon (The Lift, Smart Bar, Whiskey, Planet X, etc) for almost the whole time it existed. There were many crazy nights there. I actually had the chance to drive RuPaul back and forth from the club to the hotel. I had a Cavalier hatchback - RuPaul was not very happy trying to fit in that thing. (Maybe one day I will scan a picture of what I used to look like when I operated the freight elevator for all of you old timers.) Not to be picky, but U4RIA was actually U4IA. Worked there, too. Speaking of west side clubs, does anyone Hank's Cafe on Detroit and West 116th. Yup, worked there too. Learned my spinning skills there from Rob Sherwood (before Mike Filley came along) Who I'm really into these day: The Postal Service The Capricorns Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Crispy Ambulance Architecture In Helsinki Tell Your Mom I Said Hi Arcade Fire The Who Boys Suburban Kids with Biblical Names Sun Ra Electric President Dead Can Dance and mostly anything that is in my signature. I love music.
July 19, 200717 yr By the way here is a great clip of Charo...in a lot of ways in my opinion she's sort of a Spanish Dolly Parton for taking on a cartoonish persona and shape but she's one of the greatest female guitar player in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhe91SCJS74 Unfortunately I think like Dolly what she did in her earlier career or that she is actually a great musician has been totally overwhelmed by the pop machine. That said there are people like this out there and I can't wait until one of them gets on American Idol and wipes everyone else up.
