with NIGHT SHIFT just around the corner (THIS SATURDAY!), we’re excited to announce yet another big change for 2010:

Grace Jones – Private Life
Uploaded by PeteRock. – Watch more music videos, in HD!

Been listening to this disco goddess all day. Her steely gaze, independent heart, and assertive sexuality are just kind of femininity I crave today.
These songs come from Grace Jones’ 4th album Warm Leatherette which was recorded in the Bahamas and released [...]

DJ Tigerstripes tipped me off last night about Bombin’ (1988), an inspiring UK documentary about Bronx graffiti artist Brim Fuentes and the NYC hip hop movement. Brim sets out across the UK to prove that one man’s belief in himself, art, and music can free you from the oppression of poverty and racism. Written [...]

December’s MONORAIL party was a blast! for our seventh installment, we asked Patricia Furpurse – friend, collaborator, co-conspirator – to join us, as well as synthfunk duo, Starlight & Magic.

…and as always, the rest of the shots are on our FB group HERE. join us, won’t you?
seeya next time!

Starlight is a B side track from the self titled album by disco/funk group Tempest Trio and was released in 1979 on Marlin Records. In Flagranti  just released a flashy edit of [...]

maybe it was the smell of a finely-prepared meal that brought me out of hiding… or maybe it was the fact that i’ve got something coming up that i’m seriously looking forward to (see below)… either way, it looks like we’ve both put on a few pounds since i went on hiatus.
