The Dumbest Shit I've Seen In A Long Time




So I'm surfing ebay, and I come across this listing for an external hard drive with what at first appears to contain my man DJ AM's music library, listed with DJ AM's name and likeness. Strange- I know my man Adam isn't handing out his library to strangers, and sure enough, he isn't. Peep the description. The seller claims that this particular drive USED to have AM's collection on it. Hmmm, does this really make the drive more desirable? Anyway, this particular drive was in fact never posessed by AM, and as far as I know, he doesn't even use an external drive when he djs. But suppose for an instance that he had indeed owned and used this drive, and you wanted to buy it. After it arrived at your house, would you plug it in, turn it on and watch it's blinking activity light flashing, imagining how amazing it must have been when attached to AM's computer, or Riz's, or Flex's? I don't care if the drive once had naked pictures of the Pope on it, it's still just a damn drive. WTF?

Tribeca Cassette Preservation Society






While we are in the middle of a presidential race, and you have all been giving your vote for whom you'd like to see at a Stretch & Bob reunion, I don't think I would be out of line nominating myself for President of the Tribeca Cassette Preservation Society. I've been traveling a bit and working on some other things, and honestly have not had time to post (and I realize that my last two posts were kind of cheap), but I have been steady digitizing cassettes. Shout out to Greg, who I met online, who was generous enough to trust me with one of the more impressive collections of 'KCR tapes. I'm serious people- you got tapes that are worth preserving, I'm the man you wanna get at. I have two set ups, each with two Tascam 322 decks that have simultaneous output on both sides. In other words, I can record 8 hours of music ever hour. Piece of cake.

Shows to post soon...
