Sorry for not posting last month, I promise that I'll do better to please my many readers (i.e. Alejo. ) So I'll be writing little blurbs whenever the mood strikes me. Today's blog is about my favorite pasttime, crate-diigging, or vinyl hunting or whatever you want to call it.
I absolutely love thrift stores. The prices are right and the selections can be decent. I am still going nuts over my 50 cent copy of Brian Eno and Robert Fripp's "Evening Star" LP, and I recently found some dope singles at Goodwill last week.
Miami in the 80's was well known for its freestyle music, a mix of hip-hop, R&B and electro that soundtracked clubs and roller rinks. Spearheaded by producers like Pretty Tony and featuring singers like Trinere and Debbie Deb, any decent South Florida DJ should have some in his/her crate. I picked up a copy of Debbie Deb's classic joint "Lookout Weekend" for 25 cents at Goodwill, along with some other singles, and this stuff still kills. I'm looking forward to spinning it soon.
