Spaced Invaders

Here is part 2 of cleaning out my records.

 Re-Bop-The Savoy Remixes 

I complete forgot about this one. This album actually has some pretty cool tech break remixes of some Dizzie Gillespie, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderly, and Curtis Fuller tracks. I never have played these outside the music room, but they are pretty cool. These tracks would definitely go over the heads of the normies. And the only people who might recognize the remixed tracks are my grand parents. But it’s cool none-of-the less.

Bruce Springsteen – Born In the USA

What can I say, it’s the boss. And it has my karaoke jam on there, “Dancing in the Dark.” If you look real hard on the internet there is video of me belting this one out. This album though reminds me of the tunes my parents would crank during Sunday morning chore day when I was a wee one. However, I don’t know if I should keep the album or not. I have this as high quality mp3s and can listen to it whenever and it was a very popular album so finding another one would be easy. I think I should give it to my mom for Christmas, she might like it.

Bob & Doug McKenzie

I actually found this digging through a thrift store and thought how funny it would be to listen to two dudes doing Canadian Stereotypes. I don’t remember to well if it was funny or not. After all it does have Rick Moranis on it. The odd thing is, many years later after listening to the album and it being buried in the stacks of records that I own, I actually dated a Canadian and she ended up buying me Strange Brew as a gift once. Was it coincidence or fate? You decide.

Green Velvet – La La Land

I used to play the $h!+  out of this song. This was during the pill popping rave days of the early 2000’s. The chorus is still catchy to this day and anyone who was into electronic music back in those days knows this track. However, I think I’m going to let this one go out to pasture. I don’t play it anymore, nor do I think I will…erg. Maybe one more time at Torch for nostalgia’s sake.

3LW – Feelin You

 I never listened to this nor did I play it out anywhere. I could tell because the paper sleeve is still turned inward and everything is pristine and clean. I think my little sister used to listen to them back in like 7^th grade. Not sure though, but it’s going.

So, I’m on my way to work this morning and was listening to the Bob and Tom show. (My iPod went the way of Ol’ Yeller.)  And I overheard that Mattel released a new Barbie Doll to commemorate the 45^th anniversary of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds.” I first thought, “Wow, Barbie is still around.” Then I thought, “Man I’ve got to see what this thing looks like.” Well I found it and if you have an extra $50.00 lying around you can pick up the doll to scare the crap out of your daughter. (Notice the birds attacking Barbie.)

 But that is not the worst. And it gets kind of creepy at this point. I did a google search to find some more images than the ones Mattel released to the public and this popped up, Apparently they have pregnant Barbie complete with baby.

I don’t know if this is a real production thing or not, and nor do I really care to spend the time to research that

or not, but it’s still kind of odd none of the less.

Sonar slows it down on this one and gives you kiddies something to snuggle up to on this one.

 Payday Podcast - 12-1-08 - Scrunchyface Flatbroke: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

To simply put it, it was awesome! Flatbroke and I did a full set up outside with the 12 foot screen, and even had a screen behind us. There was a fire going to keep people warm but there was no need because Flatbroke brought the heat! (He even dropped Fishbone into the mix, flawlessly might I add.) Even if it was a little chilly outside, people got down under the moonlight.

I was very surprised of the turnout with basically only one day of letting people know that we had to change the location to the Dose. The cool thing was that people were coming in from the bars across the street to party, people were really just chilling with us and it seemed like with some people we were all old acquaintances. And that’s really what the core idea is behind the Stone Groove party. It’s just a party for people to come out to and chill with friends and listen to good music. Personally, I want to throw the next one there.

For those who have not already done so, go have lunch or dinner at the Dose. Their wraps are great and they will fill you up, but not in that gross, I need to take a nap after eating, sort of way.
