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

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.
