Haven’t posted for a while as a terrible thing happened. On Tuesday night I lost a box of 7 inch singles. Either they were taken or I left them somewhere. Probably the latter of the two. Somwhere between Sneaky Pete’s in the Cowgate and Bruntsfield Gardens. If anyone knows anything please get in touch.The box is maroon coloured and made of fake leather with a gold latch. I’ve posted a melancholy Syl Johnson track called ‘Wind Blow Her Back My Way.’

Found this website on my travels through cyberspace. It’s not music but the imagery is amazing. Check it out Lazer Tits here.

Today I entered a new realm. An ex-record shop owner kindly let me into his house today to look through his collection. He has 22,000 records. I only got through a fraction of them but found some real gold. This was one of them, if you look closely you will see it’s not actually a record but an invitation to meet and hear The Pointer Sisters. Don’t know what to make of this but its a nice object none the less. Below are two tracks from ‘Break Out.’

The talkbox; often mistaken for the vocoder, features often in the genre so it seemed appropriate to mention it here. Despite making you look like you’re on a life support machine the sound created is pure brilliance. There is an article in Wax Poetics which explains the history along with some other reference material. Zapp and Roger Troutman were the real heroes for me. Rest In Peace. There is also a video showing you how to make your own.
