the family jewels

So I have a handful of ltd edition colored vinyl records I want to sell because i don't really listen to them and I could use the money. But it's a really hard choice to sell b/c they're so sought after and rare I feel like it's selling a work of art in their singularity (well 100-ularity).

One of the things holding me back is considering that I could pass them on to my sons. Certainly they may not even care, but the idea of giving them something with a lot of intrinsic value means something.

argh

more bounce

Check out Osborne's new Hovercrafting EP on spectrial. It's the real deal.

Wait a Minute has that Roger Troutman love going on... mmmm




But can I ask, why on the Ghostly store is the digital download $7, and pay $1 more and get the vinyl?

a few friday hauls

a little bit of this and a little bit of that, probably nothing over 130 bpm-


Dawn Tallman - Who Can I Run to (Bam's Viscious dub): Link to non-dub.
Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt - Someone Told me: permanent vacation strikes again.
Lisa Shaw - Like I Want to - Salted. Off the new Free LP.
Alexander East - Tears. Guess he's republishing it on his label. Originally appeared on Grand Prix.
Tim Richards - Life Goes On - Pick n Roll EP
D-reflection - Till The Dawn (MagBeat Remix)
Cleon - Jaylis and Family - Jaylis and Family EP. Like I posted earlier-the soundtrack to me and posse walking down the street.
Dan and Phil - Brighter (Ian Pooley rmx)

$tinkworx - Coelacanth: as seen in basic math post :)
Lovebirds - Louder! - Louder EP, Gentle - Gentle EP. Post-smooth-boogie-instrumentals.
Eddy meets Yannah - Solid Ground (Crazy P remix): this is the point where I realize and totally acknowledge that I like ballaeric house/techno. OK fine. THERE I SAID IT. I'm going to the beach now to cry as I watch the sun rise.
Lazy Sun - AN2: another great track on the great Theomatic records.

Kubato - I like what you say - Prague Nights EP
Bryan Jones & Aaron Perez - Hidden Camera - Hidden Agenda EP
Jazzy Eyewear - We Gotta Bounce (Pete Moss rmx)
Ross Couch - Coast to Coast (Fabien Kamb rmx)
Pezzner - Valdemossa: new one on Freerange, this track is pretty hot with a big synthy-horn hit sample. Freerange always puts out tracks that all the layers of sound fit perfectly.
Nonfiction - P Power: some nice new jack style noodlyness
Nebraska - Fluorescent Door - Satellite Variations EP: PHEW - this is the track that Theo Parrish could make if cheered up and walked outside in the sunlight. GO AHEAD THEO, IT'S OK TO BE HAPPY
Jangatha - United Lines: like james brown on jack powder.

changing times

I think it's pretty cool that on wefollow.com there are approximately 4x as may #dj as their are #guitar.

when it rains it pours

Is this just me: between August and February my various online wishlists grew by no more than a half a dozen tracks/EPs. But between February and now I've added more than 2 dozen items to the queue.
