I feel like SNF is definitely a good movie, and probably does represent *most* of the club-goers from that year to an acceptable degree. But, IMHO, the real story that should have been told was definitely modified to appeal to the mainstream and make a LOT of money. It lacks some integrity for that reason. That's entertainment - for most people at least.

As a side note about another movie with a good soundtrack, I saw the Spike Lee movie "Summer of Sam" with John Leguizamo, Mira Sorvino, and Adrien Brody...the music was great, and the club scenes were also very cool. I thought it was going to be a serial killer thriller, but it really was just a snapshot, a mood piece. Music by Marvin Gaye, ABBA, The Who, Roy Ayers, Chic, Grace Jones, First Choice, Thelma Houston. Check it out!

thanks for the reply infra,

I'm wondering what year the murders took place... I'm real big on making sure the movie & music are in sync. Not sure why i'm like that. :)

No problem, efunk. I found an article about the Son of Sam, written around the time of the release of the movie. It looks like the murders took place in 1977. Here's the article:

So at least for the Grace Jones and First Choice tracks, the soundtrack is right on - both of those songs were released in '77.

Default Saturday night fever
I also saw the movie here in LA the night that it opened. I loved it then and I love it now. I must have seen it 20 times and I saw it again about 2 weeks ago . I was recently in NYC and saw the Broadway musical also. It brought back a flood of memories.

While it may have been a movie about Italian-Americans in Bensonhurst, me and my Cuban Friends in LA identified with it very strongly. We used to go to various discos:

My Uncle's
The Tiki's
Dillons
The Sugar Shack

By the way, the highest rated radio program on Saturday evenings is " Disco Saturday Night on KBIG 104 "

I love my wife who is 12 years younger than me but as a previous poster wrote, " God, I miss those times ".

I also want to know what an Aircheck is. I'll be happy to oblige as soon as I figure out what it is.

Nicky & Lajazz: An aircheck is a recording of a radio programme 'off air'. Even this dumb Limey knows that Americanism. :lol:

Default Aircheck
A term used to record a radio show. In other words, I would like a recording of the show with Cocomotion.

I can send you a copy (90 minute segment) of my 1998 show. In that segment, I started my show with Souvenirs/Ketchican Fantasy by Voyage and then played 10:30 version of Cocomotion (off my LP). It is a wild 90 minutes of disco.

Sorry, I got this post mixed up with my Cocomotion post. But I will trade any seventies disco airchecks.

K-BIG's "Disco Saturday Night" plays RADIO DISCO (KC, Bee Gees, Village People, Donna, Chic, etc.)

I don't think you're gonna find any El Coco on that program.

I used to tape songs from the KBIG show to make homemade compilations (until I started buying disco albums). I'm willing to tape the show so that you could hear what it sounds like. And Marky is right about the show: The playlist is almost strictly Top-40 disco.

:evil:
