Greetings all.
This post is the tiniest bit rushed, since some unexpected and unpleasant news rendered an already jam-packed week even more jam-packier.
What you have here is evidence of a hot night at Botanica which was also (sadly) the last Spindletop.
A few weeks back the mighty Perry Lane said that he’d be bringing things to a close, and honored me by asking if I’d man the decks on the final night.
Though I was bummed – Spindletop has been my favorite place to spin this year – I agreed to helm things for the night and kept things sharp by enlisting the help of my buddies M-Fasis and Joe Cristando (aka DJ Hambone).
We had a hell of a time getting the somewhat beleaguered equipment to behave itself (the battered mixer was especially problematic) and then when we finally did, the digital recorder started to misbehave. As a result there are segments of the night that either went unrecorded, or were – thanks to technical difficulties – unacceptable for presentation herein.
I’ve decided to post one set each by the DJs and I think you’ll be satisfied with the results.
I brought a mix of soul that included a tip of the hat (via Howard Tate) to the recently departed Jerry Ragovoy.
DJ Hambone brought a grip of serious heat including a bunch of stuff I’d never heard before, and M-Fasis dropped yet another incredibly diverse set, packed (as always) with surprises.
That said, I hope you dig it all, and I’ll be back next week.
Peace
Larry
