    PS1 stream up

    hello. PS1 just posted the Italians afternoon party we
    hosted in August. Scroll down and there's a few links. one
    has the live Glass Candy set one has the Lovefingers dj set
    (which was KILLER btw) , and another has a small part of Mike's
    set. Mike played for like 2 and a half hours and i think the
    second half goes up soon. Mike became a trance dj that
    warm summer afternoon!

    note: you can also access other stuff from this summer, such
    as the Invisible Conga People live show from the DFA showcase.
    Italians are releasing their debut 12" in a few months! And
    our pal Tim Sweeney also has a nice one up there as well!

    AFTER DARK cd repressed!

    Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

    yikes! we weren't expecting such a huge response
    to the AFTER DARK cd. we initially pressed 100 for
    Glass Candy's tour as a promo thing, but it really
    took off- thanks to Pitchfork.. ANYWAY, our sister
    label Troubleman has them in their store.
    order

    Mike's WFMU dj set

    hello. heres a link to the WFMU appearance. i drove 5
    minutes to play records on Jim's radio show. Let me
    preface this by alerting you to a few trainwrecks in
    this particular mix. Its tough to dj with 45's some
    times... but im not afraid to show my weaknesses...
    you only live once, as they say.
    :)
    anyway, the link is below... i start about 1:03 into
    the show, and go until the 2:15 mark- then we bullshit
    on the radio for a while, which is always weird, yet
    funny.



  • go for it

    KILLER KUTS #38




    Santana's classic lineup comes full circle at
    Woodstock. THey totally obliterate 300,000
    people while jamming Soul Sacrifice.
    Everyone cites then 19 year old Michael Shrieve's
    infamous drum solo as a high point of the
    performance. Indeed , the guy can shred.
    The entire song just blows open doors.
    Santana was a road heavy band, and it shows. They
    are simply superior musicians. In the movie,
    Sly And The Family Stone plays immediately after
    Santana, and as much as i like Sly Stone, theres
    just no comparingthe two. Its just that good.

    Check out Santana shredding up Ed Sullivan in 1969.
    A KILLER medley of Persuasion and Jingo. HEAVY. Hard
    to think this was 1969.





    ..and a good live version

    KILLER KUTS #37

    Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

    This record flew under the radar when it was released,
    and soon after it was released Buckingham and Nicks
    joined Fleetwood Mac, and the rest is history- as they
    say. The record was pretty much forgotten, and to this
    day hasn't even seen a cd release. But who cares about
    cds anyway- its a dying medium...
    The track FROZEN LOVE is my current favorite. The build-up
    RULES.

    so to this day it remains unavailable. You can track down
    the vinyl if you look hard enough. I suggest you do.


    you can download the record

    Roma O' Morte

    back from Africa- i mean Italy. Its nice to visit
    the motherland. Hung out with Mirage in his deluxe
    studio on the resort island of Sardinia. We drank wine
    and ate cheeses until the night turned into day.
    Its hard to understand what he is saying thru his
    vocoder, but after a few drinks it was all good.

    SO did American Apparel copy the Italian Appeal
    logo? The mystery continues!

    mike's dj gigs /vinyl release news coming soon.
    also, due to overwhelming demand we are pressing
    the After Dark cd professional style for stores.
    More on that soon. BUT if you order from us
    direct you can get the special hand made version,
    which is much cooler, and VERY limited. the test
    pressings are here, and we expect vinyl in 2 weeks.

    Portland, Italy

    Portland was great. you all missed out on a great show.
    chromatics really stepped up their game. The new lineup
    is 100% solid. glass candy killed as usual. especially the
    Supernature cover. are live disco covers the new "edit"???
    off to Italy to hang out with Mirage for a week. i got an
    excellent gig at the foot of the Spanish Steps. cant wait!

    Will be back to update the blog in about 10 days so keep your ears
    peeled. New Italians 12"s test pressings are expected to
    arrive while i'm gone. i will be djing throughout the summer.
    maybe i'll post the dates if i can remember them... but
    at this juncture all i care about is fixing the leak in my
    roof and getting the dogs fed.
