Jeffy, Jeffy, Jeffy...

Yes, the "white kid gloves" are off, in case ya didn't notice. :lol:

You had to hear Amanda Lear's "Follow Me" at the Troc, "high" to fully understand. I don't care for anything else by her--BUT this track was CLASSIC!!!!

OK, I just pulled the 1981 Troc Anniversary Party tape #4, side 2:

The sequencing is as follows:

"No Romance (Just Want To Dance)/Keep on Dancing" - Theo Vaness
"Magnifique" - Magnifique
"Love Attack" - Ferrara
"The Break" - Kat Mandu
"Wishbone" - Tantra
"FOLLOW ME" - AMANDA LEAR
"Save Your Love For Me" - Space
"If You Weren't Afraid" - Giorgio Moroder
"Lost Angeles/Faster Than The Speed Of Love" Giorgio Moroder
"Race With The Wind" - Peter Jacques Band
"Souvenirs" - Voyage
"Sandstorm" - La Bionda
"Beyond" - Herb Alpert

Then back to earth with:
"Baby I'm Burning" - Dolly Parton!!!!

Patrick Cowley--now, this is the ultimate in understatement-- just wasn't as good as Mr. Moroder; NO COMPARISON!!! Plus, we heard that Cowley stuff so much it started to annoy. The Europeans did trippy electronic music better than Americans. No Contest!!!

As to getting this thread back on track--there is no point to this thread--just some background information on the last poll and some random musings from a procrastinating punter.

I guess I've said everything I wanted to say.

But, it's my Thread and I'll Muse if I want to. :lol:

Peace Out.

That's why you love "Hills Of Katmandu" so much, yes? :lol:

When it comes to trippy electronic music, Klaus Schulze's "Mirage" LP is the ultimate. Put in on, shut off the lights, and let it suck you into the velvet darkness...

Uh-huh, that's what I think sometimes.

It's Bitchy with a "B"
It's Caustic with a "C"
It's Evil with an "E"
It's Gayboy with a "G"
It's Pissy with a "P"
It's Touchy with a "T"
It's Venom with a "V"
OR: Veda with a "V" ("Veda, you slut--SLAP!!!)
It's Zany with a "Z"

Put them all together they spell "bcegptvz"-- uh... NO!!! --- Maaarrr-keeeee!!!

Ok. I'm done.

And the problem with this scenario is... WHAT??! Sounds like heaven to me.

But then, I'm one of those big ol' homos of a certain age.

Marky, shall I call the paramedics? :roll:

On another vein, about your songs not qualifying in the Top 500... your rant means you're gonna sue Bernie on this?

Just a sued Latin guerrilla disco-lover rambling on... :lol:

Was the Troc DJ also in charge of the drug concession? That might explain this playlist... :lol:

Not one of my favorite lineups, I'm afraid. I've always thought "Magnifique" was one of the most monotonous songs ever.

But "Baby, I'm Burnin'"? NOW yer talkin'!!! :lol:

Hi Guys,

I'm back. Had to take a breather!!!!

Yeah, I used to hate "Magnifique" too. The same thing over and over again.

Hey, it sounds OK in the mix...BUT never a fave.

See, you woulda taken a bathroom break during this set and come back to the dancefloor for Dolly!!!! Right???

Marky: Oh! the luxury of having a half hour bathroom break. What took so long? :grin:

Just being a poor DJ, I had about three minutes to fight my way through the heaving masses to the loo, piss all over my trousers, try and wash some of it off, fight my way back through the masses to the bar, order a drink, get back on the DJ stand to flawlessly mix in the next record.
I ain't bitchin', just telling it like it was!

I'm gonna be really uncool here & say that one of my favourites on that list is Herb Alpert's 'Beyond'. I love this track & have never come across (pardon the expression!) another friend of Dorothy's who liked it other than me.

that is because you never asked me!...I love much of Herb's first two "comeback" albums along with his Diamonds work with Janet.
