I Always Have A Hankerin' To Listen To Sum BT Express

The thing about these guys is that they've always had one or two great tracks on their albums. The band formed in 1974 in good ole' Brooklyn, NY. Not to long after that they got signed to Scepter Records. Their first record "Do it Til Your Satisfied" went gold. The group's second single "Express" also went gold. In 1977 they signed with Columbia Records & recorded the following albums, "Shout It Out" & "Energy to Burn".
Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden honored the group with a parade to Brooklyn's City Hall, where they were presented with a citation for their musical achievements and a proclamation declaring that day, B.T. EXPRESS DAY. ( B.T. stands for Brooklyn Transit).
They also got to performed for President Jimmy Carter and the White House staff...

John Carpenter Makes It Look So Easy~~~

Not only is John Carpenter a genius film maker, he's also a music making fiend. He always scores his films & produces half of the soundtrack for them. We can have a Carpenter cinema camp out if any of you guys are interested but for now I dug up this little gem from the "Escape From New York" Soundtrack. It definately sound like a No-Wave groove. I wouldn't be surprised if he hung out in LES in the 80's at the MuddClub.

What a Guys, What a Guy!! Mr. Dick Hyman

I've always loved how people used to sample Dick Hyman for hip hop tracks back in the 90's. There's one Busta Ryhmes song that was based on a sample off the Dick Hyman album "Moog- The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman" the sampled song is called "The Minotaur". Busta's song is "Where We're About To Take It".

Anyways he's got a ton of spaceage bachelor type tunes & totally has the swave jazz guy thing down as well. One of my peeps had the balls to spin "The Minotaur" out one nite at the RockStar Bar & my jaw dropped because i've never hear anyone dj any of his stuff out. Another on of my favorites is "The Liquidators", which in my mind is the perfect opening credit song in any Euro-Mod film.

Born March 8, 1927, New York City) is an American jazz pianist/keyboardist and composer best known for his versatility with jazz piano styles. Over a 50 year career he has functioned as pianist, organist, arranger, music director, and, increasingly, as composer. His versatility in all of these areas has resulted in well over 100 albums recorded under his own name and many more in support of other artists.

My choice is a song that appeared on a Readers Digest LP Box Set called "Organ Magic in the 70's called "Alfred The King of Disco"

You Can't Pull The Wool Over Lydia Lunch's Eyes!!

After arriving in New York City at the age of 16, Lunch moved into a large communal household of artists and musicians in NYC, including Kitty Bruce, daughter of Lenny Bruce. Soon after she earned the surname "Lunch" by regularly stealing lunches for her (often starving) artist friends. After befriending the 'godfathers of punk' Suicide at Max's Kansas City, she founded the short-lived but influential No Wave band Teenage Jesus & the Jerks in 1976 with her artistic partner, No Wave punk-funk-jazz musician James Chance. Both appeared on the seminal No Wave compilation No New York. Lunch later appeared on two songs on Chance's album Off White (credited to James White and the Blacks; Lunch used the pseudonym "Stella Rico") in 1978.
She's a true maverick & one of the best artist that came out of the NYC No-Wave era.

Evidence of Musical Snobbery

Greetings all & welcome to our blog which is called "Let Me Play One More". Frankly this was the first thing that came to mind for the fact that whenever me & my friends play records at bars & lounges we have this urge to play another song or two after the lights come up while people are still hangin' around totally danced out of their minds getting kicked out because the nights over.

Here's the thing, they want to hear music, we want to hear music but the bouncer says no or he'll come over and turn down the faders on the dj mixer or the bartender turns the sound down from behind the bar. There are plenty of scenarios concerning the end of the night & party people still thirsty for more. Needless to say there is a select group of people that are djs & music heads that hangout after hours at someone's place that has turntables and the freedom to listen to records at 5 in the morning with a bunch of your lively friends. That's actually when we get to listen to some of the best music ever. Those that partake in this ritual know what i'm talking about.

The first track i'll drop is one that I hardly spin out but it kicks ass. 
It's Celi Bee & The Buzzy Bunch (1977)
It's was on the first record she made for TK Records
One Love was the second 12'' 
I start the song about halfway through here's the edit enjoy!!
