If you haven't heard Carl Craig's remix of Delia & Gavin's Relevee yet, you've really missed out. Much to my dismay, this track, at least in it's original remix form, is no longer available for purchase or streaming via your favorite digital receptacle. Maybe it's a casualty of those brief years that DFA had a distribution via EMI . I have to assume EMI wanted LCD Soundsystem bad enough that they agreed to distributing records by Black Dice as well, which definitely didn't work out for them. Don't get me wrong, DFA is a great label, and Black Dice are a great group if you like noise and weirdness, as are and were many of the artists on DFA , but I can't see EMI benefiting from much of their output beyond LCD , Hot Chip and maybe the Juan MacLean . Delia & Gavin were wonderful too, but their unfettered output is essentially fifteen minute analog synth epics, again a bit of a limited market for the record buying public. So I suppose

Before we begin..., I read some of this post to my wife and she didn't want me to share it. I told her I didn't think there was anything wrong with it but she felt otherwise. Well, everything that follows below is what I'd written, though if anything I've said bothers anyone, please know that wasn't my intent. Call me crazy... no seriously, it's okay, you can call me crazy. That said, before last night I'd never heard the original version of Wanda Dee's To the Bone . I suppose that's because it's a long out-of-print record that is best known as the source of the "gonna make you sweat" sample in the the "live" version of The KLF's What Time Is Love , though I'd heard a version where Trevor Jackson of Playgroup mashed the acapella with Dexter's I Don't Care to wonderful effect. I'll stick with that version, as the original is rather dated. While reading through the comments on the YouTube video for To th

Sorry there hasn't been a real post this week. This one is a little overly easy, but I'm sure you'll find it enjoyable. Here are some links for some albums that aren't generally available through traditional sources. Two of them have been worked on by myself and some friends, but everything else is as it was presented online. Resident Alien - It Takes a Nation of Suckas to Let Us In I've posted this before, but it's been a while. Prince Paul produced this album for his Dew Doo Man imprint which was to be distributed by Def Jam , but Russell Simmons cancelled it. Now Russell Simmons is being cancelled, though Paul seems to be doing fine. By the way, he and Open Mike Eagle have a new podcast dedicated to Paul talking about his career and the interesting people he's worked with. It's called What Had Happened Was and you should definitely go listen to it as it's wonderful. Props to Harvey Cliff for hipping me to the show! Central Services - Fore
