Geeselad

Change- march 3rd 2012 Geese A mixed selection of what I played in various spots throughout the evening. Always a pleasure to spin as resident @ this night, all DJ's have carte blanche to play what on earth they like, unfortunatly all too rare an opportunity nowdays! A mix of 6ts, 7ts, underplayed, uptempo, Northern, funky soul and a smidge of Latin Boogaloo. Intruiges- To make a world Great Expectations- welcome to the world Top shelf- Going through the motions Ron Baxter and the Ramblers- Peace and love Okaysons- Watch out girl Denise Laselle- The right track Mark iv unlimited - Gone Delrays inc- Destination unknown Gene Anderson and the - Baby I dig you Kenny Carlton- Lost and found Lovemasters- Pushing and pulling Isonics- Sugar Terrble Frankie Nieves- The 4 corners Cold Blood- I'm a good woman Elli the Phropet- Take a little, give a lot Gene Chandler- In my body's house Jimmy Love- two sides to every story Charlie Palmieri- Bugalu Latin souls- you been talking bout me baby Isley Brothers- Who's that lady Bobby Fisher and the Bishops- Now your gonna cry (CU) Ann appolis- I Cant love you no more- Acetate Johnny Summers- Cant let go Accents- Think again Maybe one or two more to add yet, but thats about ti.

Seriously thinking about the manchester date myself.

Casablanca in fairness is probably more influencial culturally than musically, I've read tales of the secetary doing lines at 10 in the morning, before answering the phone. Its often used as a metphor for disco in general, its excesses and boom and bust attitude.

Thinking mans totty, glad someone else is a fan.

Some top nitch spins there Paul, many thanks once again, mione to follow shortly I hope, c'mon Jez, get yours down too!

not on the vinyl, but its great for disolving glue on most stickers, so you can remove from covers and lables.

me too Carms, its my default station.

Oops sorry I watch 'only connect' only for Victoria Corwen, bow wow! the questions go right over me head,LOL.

I have a distant recollection of that, didnt they go into knuckles record room? and visit the the lawers office on jefferson way that now occupies place the warehouse was, asking the suits ' you ever heard of house music? well it started right here. well due a re- run.

for me, it stems back to grasso @ sanctuary, mixing 45's in the early 7ts or maybe Kool Herc doing his thing in the blocks around the same time. UK wise, froggy was one of the first along with Levine to beat mix.

sorry but I disagree, BBC4 is a brilliant specialist chanel that regualrly features non english language movies, high brow documentaries and proper drama. Anyone seen 'only disconnect'? hardly fodder for the masses, this channel is capable of so much better.

See saw got an airing via Paul Donnelly @ change on sat, I love debbie and its flip but never heard any info myself.

I thought this was a great thread idea, regaurdless of the kings issue, of interest to me are the nighters I've sadly not been too, Rugby, already mentioned and highly praised, Glocster which I also hear is brilliant and both Notts and Derby, which have always clashed with some other must do of mine any opinions?

Considering the usual quality of music programme's on bbc 4 I was very disappionted with the show, it speaks volumes that Levine was one of the most articulate, relevant and accurate guests on the programme. Whole chapters of the history were missed, the Sanctuary, salsoul and the latin influence on the music didnt really get a mention instead they decided to focus on euro disco and moroder ect who no doubt were influencial but have been well documented in the past. Input from Mark moore was pathetic and embarassing, and I felt the whole subject was treated with the derision I'd expect from a bunch of rock jorno's from the 7ts still busy buying the latest ELP or yes triple set. BBC 4, this was very poor indeed!

Having missed the last ,I spent about 3 hours @ the kings last night and wil eat a slither of humble pie and say I thoughly enjoyed it. I heard a few complain it was too packed that it only added to the atmos for me and the music in the main room was a little on the obvious side for my tastes but I was pleased to see that the windsor had ditched the merchandise stalls and the garish lights. In many ways the kings is undoubtably the worlds number one nighter but without a more cutting edge music policy in the main room its supremecy will always be in question to some. the tough question is with a more cutting edge music would be commercially viable? A real conumdrum. The true beauty of the kings it has to be said is the social factor, nowhere else do I see so many faces I know , and my pleasure last night came in the form of lots of joyous handshakes and hugs of freinds old and new, you can knock it and pick the music policy to pieces but I'd have to say the scene would be worse of without it.

debate on if latin is northern? this time on a friday, nah, lol. you maybe right wiggy, but I'll certainly be spinnin a few prime latino cuts @ change tommorow before the nighter in stoke, whatever you do this weekend, have a good en.

What northern but good, well sometimes, dance music? as are many of the pics you included.

weirdly heard zenab bidawi play it on her R2 bigband show last week!

current faves, but its changing weekly at the moment, but these are some of the things I've featured @ change and down at the Basement Boogaloo. If you into this sound, latin that is, check it Basement boogaloo in Marsh street, Hanley Stoke, next sat till 4AM with me, Johnny, lowrider, Beggs and crowned prince of latin R and B Mace! Terrible Frankie Neives LP, The latin souls- Tiger Boogaloo LP. Oocho- aponomous LP. 45's wise eddie palmieri and Cal Tjader- come aND GET IT BABY- tico cHARLIE pALMIERI AND oRCH- bugalu- Atalantic Johnny Colon- you gotta love me- cotique Alfreditto- you tell me that you love me Mongosantamaria and orch- get the money.

So I take it Ginger definatly doesnt own it as quoted at the time? was he Bullshining then?

its on beeb 4, so I hope, no expect, better, hoping to see a bit on the sanctuary and francis Grasso. As well as credit to Patrick Adams, Tom Moulton, Walter Gibbons and of course Levan, Dj's cant get too much credit in the development of Disco imho.

sad news indeed, anwhere with a progressive music policy deserves support imho.

Dont know if anyone else has said and I know you know it already Bro, but has anyone had, William Bell - 'you got the kind of love I need.'

not sure If mentioned before, but my lp is Stereo, are they rarer than the mono version?
