Anyway, tomorrow some guy I know a bit is having a birthday bash thing tomorrow at this place called Anjos 70 or something, he's got a LOT of DJs spinning records for him and when we were out the other day drinking with a mutual friend he asked me if I would like to join in and play a short set. So yeah, I'm up for it, right now I'm pulling out all sorts of records that I could consider for my big moment tomorrow. My idea is to really express myself as much as possible, to start off in one place and to, you know, build it up, but not just build it up, I want to take people sideways as well as up, I want them to experience as many emotions as possible, my aim is that by the end they will be exhausted and I don't just mean in a physical, bodily sense. Sure, of course they WILL be physically exhausted from dancing so much, from giving everything that they have to the irresistible beats that i am gonna serve them and which will no doubt seize their bodies and simply make them dance - er although I'm not sure that it's the right expression to say that they are "giving everything" if I just take it, but regardless of the expression, that IS what I am going to do, I am going to coil the music round them like a fucking anaconda and place them on the dance floor where they will dangle on the end of my strings like helpless little marionettes ha ha ha. Sorry, where was I? Yeah, I was gonna say, not just physically exhausted but also that I fully intend to put them through the emotional wringer at the same time. I really want them to experience every emotion known to man or woman, in fact many emotions they will experience more than once so that by the end they will be smiling hopefully through the agonising tears of melancholy still drying on their faces as they crawl on blistered feet to the exit.
So my Choon of the Day is this one that I am considering as a possible set opener, the reason being that, while on the face of it, it's "just" a slinkily suggestive slice of sykedelic psoul, I think that in addition to simply being a beautiful song it is also one which bares enough of its hidden claws every now and again - in the form of crunching razor sharp guitar licks - to hint that the following journey through my mind might contain somewhat more in the way of twists and turns and hidden depths than one might have hitherto expected.

When I say "a short set" by the way, in this case that means ten minutes so I am really going to have to rush through each emotion.

Horace Andy - Money Money

oddly the album version of this is superior to the 12" version, a dreader than dread riddim swathed in echo topped by the angelic vocals of the narcoleptic Horace "sleepy" Andy

Wow really, it's a nice tune right? I find it quite unique and hard to pin down, dunno who the person is either, a one off tune, probably a pseudonym maybe. Is it expensive to get the seven these days?

I didn't shell out £80, I took a punt on a "G+ for the first 10 seconds, improves to VG+ for the remainder" copy in the hope that it will play through - but I'm a reggae collector, frying bacon sounds aren't a deterrent

I hear you on that. A lot of my records are really knackered cos they been to parties and so on, they are for playing not looking at... though some of them have been to too many parties and have chunks missing from them.
I got this weird garage/surf tune which is cracked and I have not been able to replace it just yet (just had a quick look on discogs and the only one there is more than a ton!)



This Greek garage double sided killer has a crack in it but it still plays and I respect it for soldiering on like that so have not tried to replace it



And this awesome moog funker I managed to take a lump out of and replaced cos it's such a banger



Anyways, hope that the Mink sounds good when it arrives, nice one!

like the new Billie Eilish album a lot although it's a bit long, can't stand Maggie Rogers though. She was the support on a tour of a band I really love (Now, Now) and I was surprised how lifeless her own music was

@william_kent do you know this one? Feels sort of similar to the Jan Mink to me in a way... or at least I feel it might appeal to the same people....


I've not heard that one before.

I think the Jan Mink tune really reminds me of the song that Terry Riley abuses in You're No Good, it's the combination of the xylophones ( or vibraphone? ) and the plaintive but accusatory backing vocals that both share


The Harvey Averne Dozen - You're No Good

So I played a super rocking ten minutes just now... crashing together five or six killet sevens all of which could be tune of the week, started with this one which I think was actually a present from @DannyL
