Evidence of Polyurethane Ravers in the 50's

As much as I hate cleaning up someone else's shit, I love finding gems like this in my new basement. Ladies and gentleman, evidence that even in the late 50's, those dance parties knew how to use the "varnish" the right way. I smell gabber.



But seriously... what the hell is this? Was Sears selling floor varnish to the "My Three Sons" crowd or was this a subtle way of enticing your pops into shining those floors to keep the kids home dancing? Its an awfully impressive image for sure and definitely less boring than today's average paint can.

The only scary thing is that this gallon jug still has some liquid motion within it. Any lead in there?

And yes, that is a legitimate bag of store bought paper mache powder to the left.

Past The List

Finally got around to putting the 2002 and 2003 Lists up. Check the right.

Also, for all the syndicated feedster fools, I added a tasty Atom Feed.

Keep that hate mail coming on the Eurohaus post. Never has a post generated so much angst and shame on me.

Eurohaus Gems a Go Go ... to the Trash!

As I prepare to move to my new home just down the street, I again, torture myself into clearing out some old unneeded music. Its a difficult task, but it needs to be done every so often so that i can feed family and friends with unwanted gems.

Today I found the ultimate gem of glitz and glamour:



Holy shit! My M80 days return! A true Discomagic classic. Supertrack & DJ Company's remake of The Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight." A disturbing Eurotrash anthems for all to dance and enjoy.

Clearly recorded near the far end of Italodisco's late 90's revival, Supertrack do nothing more but remake a true 80's classic to sound possessively nasal. Though nothing was gained from its 1993 release, I do take pride in having the pleasure of sharing with you some of the purest shit ever made. Labelling it Italohouse would be unfit as the tempo falls more into line with "uplifting Eurohaus" (obvious contradiction), a genre that profited from fast to market remakes of modern day pop hits. I even recall Coca Cola Theme being re-made into a hands in the air classic.

For those interested in more info on this Discomagic release, visit Discogs.com where we can be further reminded of its tasty details.

Feel free to email me for crispy AAC rips of this should have been forgotten crappic.

Worse than my admittance to owning this CD is the shame in knowing there are more like it. I'll have to dig up and share some of my infamous ZYX classics.

js, you love this!
