Alan Vega - "Saturn Drive"



White Mice, White Mice (Basic Replay 2006)
The first time I bought this awesome reissue I accidentally got the "versions." (Not a bad mistake to make, the instrumentals are amazing ... digi bass gone wild.) Here's a taste of the vocals.

White Mice - "Tallawah"

Harvey Mason + Wuf Ticket

Harvey Mason, Funk in a Mason Jar (Arista 1977)
Best track I've found in ages ... it's not right to bury it at the end of that half-assed mix of mine down below ...

Harvey Mason - "Space Cadets"



Wuf Ticket, "Ya Mama" 12" (Prelude 1982)
For fans of the Gap Band, Newcleus, outer-space synthesizers and mama jokes. Edit: Whoops I just realized I posted the instrumental. Wrong side, dude. I'll post the vocal later ...

The Social Registry

Better late than never dept.: Been meaning to mention this for a while, The Social Registry label has nearly their whole roster performing in Brooklyn this weekend, including Samara Lubelski, whose new one Parallel Suns is due out in October. (She's also at work on Thurston Moore's forthcoming solo record.) Pastoral folk-pop with psychedelic details fuzzing up the edges ...

Samara Lubelski - "Tasting the Candy"

Psychic Ills - "January Rain"

There's also a sick lineup at PS1 Warm Up today from Troubleman / Italians Do It Better - Glass Candy live, Mike Simonetti and Lovefingers djing, plus Elliott Sharp. Basically way too much going on today for me to have to be @ work. :(
