Space Girl & Other Favorites

September 11, 2009

RUFFCLUB_911sm

As you’re perhaps already aware, the LES spot Annex is closing and turning into a sports bar. Whatever though, that kind of thing happens. The last RUFF CLUB ever is tonight. If you haven’t been to Ruff Club on a Friday, I suggest you head out tonight, because.. well.. it’s your last chance. Make it happen.

Because I seem to post about Jonestown just about every other month, it only makes sense that for this specific Friday I leave you with these two tracks from Space Girl & Other Favorites. Quick fact: The original release was vinyl only, with a limited run of only 500 copies. They re-released the album in 2003 with some bonus tracks.. wish I could get ahold of that vinyl though.

MP3: When I Was Yesterday – Brian Jonestown Massacre (DL)

MP3: Kid’s Garden – Brian Jonestown Massacre (DL)

movie night
Also, this Sunday is the third week of mine & Anton Glamb‘s new hip hop party called Movie Night. Last week was epic with good friend and fellow DJ Dances With White Girls. Hopefully we can outdo last week with this Sunday coming up! See you there! (@ Darkroom 165 Ludlow)

Goin’ Off

September 4, 2009

biz
Goin’ Off, Biz Markie‘s debut album came out in ’88. The legendary Marley Marl produced it. Nobody Beats the Biz is the 8th track on the album.. and probably my favorite track, second to the obvious Vapors. Kind of an interesting track too, samples Fly Like An Eagle and Sex Machine. Also samples Hihache by the French funk band Lafayette Afro Rock Band (whom of which you should also get into in addition to Biz’s Goin’ Off) Look ‘em up.

From 88′s Goin’ Off:
MP3: Nobody Beats The Biz – Biz Markie

Buy Goin’ Off.

malik
A bit from Lafayette Afro Rock Band’s 3rd album, Malik, released in 1972.

Sound a bit familiar?
MP3: Darkest Light – The Lafayette Afro Rock Band


DL

MP3: Conga – The Lafayette Afro Rock Band

Buy Malik. I guess that links actually pretty useless because Amazon is out. Search around you’ll find it.

Zshare isn’t working so you can’t really preview the tracks. Gonna get a hosting upgrade and fix that flaw.

Later,
Danz
