Lovefingers

Lovefingers, Rvng of the Nrds Vol. 4 12" (RVNG 2007)
Hot re-edits from the CA-to-NY cosmic explorer Lovefingers and RVNG (following earlier entries from Tim Sweeney, Betty Botox and Mock & Toof). Described as "a squishy-squashy space funk anthem" this track deploys wicked synth lazers over wonky bubbly bass. I'll have what the space invaders are having. (Clips of the other three tracks are here.)

Lovefingers - "Bermuda"

Here's a chunk of my set from Wednesday at Heathers. Big thanks to Jeremy for recording this, earlier in the night he spun some Afro-Cosmic after Dan kicked things off w/ disco & postpunk. Fun times. I had some slight volume issues so try not to get clobbered by Cybotron.

Greg Hawkes

Greg Hawkes, Niagara Falls (Passport 1983)
Had my eye out for this after 20 Jazz Funk Greats posted the track "Bee System" a couple weeks ago and waddayaknow, it popped up fast. Pop futuro synth record from 1983, good stuff.

Greg Hawkes - "Block Party"

Also: Check out Beat Electric's soundboard recording of a 1980 disco mix at the SF nightclub Trocadero Transfer with tracks by Sabu, Cerrone, Erotic Drum Band, Theo Vaness ....

Dazzle Ships tonight + Jean-Michel Jarre + USA200

Jean-Michel Jarre, Zoolook (Disques Dreyfus 1984)
Haven't kept up with posting lately because I've been busy looking for records to take to Dazzle Ships tonight (see below) ... like this one ....

Jean-Michel Jarre - "Blah-Blah Cafe"

Stop by if you're in nyc, should be a fun night.

Space + Konk

Space, Magic Fly (United Artists 1977)
Do I lose disco cool points if I admit I got introduced to this classic synth record through Felix Da Housecat's cover version?? Ran across a copy a couple weeks ago at Tropical Jeremy's stoop sale in Brooklyn ... always happy to trade some lunch money for a few jams. Jeremy and Dan Selzer throw a monthly night at Heathers at 13th and A in the East Village called Dazzle Ships, come out next Wednesday 11/14 when me and Miguel guest star. Disco, kraut, postpunk, rocknroll, electronix, beer. Real laid back. 9 pm till late. Flyer coming soon.

Space - "Magic Fly"

Space - "Tango in Space"

This Friday 11/9 there's also this. It's free, go dance:






Konk - "Love Attack" [1986]

Funny that this is on Bright Lights, Big City, rubbing shoulders with Depeche Mode and "Pump Up the Volume," soundtracking Michael J.'s adventures with the Brazilian Marching Powder.
