We’ll Have Brunch in Limbo

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Okay, time to kick it with some new shit. Honoring the requests was fun and all but I’d much rather listen to music I haven’t heard before instead of rehashing stuff I’ve already talked about. So anyone that sends me a request to repost something in the near future will get a serious ass-whooping by a very tall man with a very short temper (that’s me, btw). That’s not an idle threat either, I got a lot of free time with which I will hunt you down.

And now that I threatened my entire audience, here’s some good music.

Prince
Irresistible Bitch
Little Red Corvette (Dance Remix)
Raspberry Beret (New Mix)
Get funky with the sexy motherfucker! ‘Irresistible Bitch’ is the B-side to the Tipper Gore-enraging ‘Let’s Pretend We’re Married’ while these two remixes were taken off of their respective singles. These are just a few of the Prince tracks I’ll be putting up over the next few days.

Ministry
The Nature Of Love
The Nature Of Love (Cruelty Mix)
This synth-heavy dance track and its remix might not sound like the Ministry that many of you know and love, but they’re a hell of a lot better than anything on Rio Grande Blood.

Pearl Jam
Love, Reign O’er Me
Rockin’ In The Free World (Live With U2)
If you’re a Pearl Jam fan and aren’t a member of Ten Club you are missing out. Not only do you get first dibs on concert tickets to every one of their shows but you also get a bitchin’ fan club single (on vinyl) each year. I just got mine today and felt like sharing. ‘Love, Reign O’er Me’ is a cover of a song by The Who and is also on the soundtrack to that new Adam Sandler movie Reign Over Me. The B-side is a great version of ‘Rockin’ In The Free World’ with U2 from an Australia concert last year.

These are the last of the reposts. If I didn’t get to your request I apologize, but I can only do so much! If you wanted something that’s on CD (like the KoRn remix) try Limewire or something and you should be able to find it. This is the first of two posts tonight, the second will be all new stuff. There’s some new stuff in here too, I don’t think I ever put up the B.A.D. b-side ‘I Wish I Were John Carpenter.’

C’Mon Every Beatbox (Extended Vocal Version)
Badrock City
Beatbox At Dawn
James Brown (Remix)

The (New) New Order Post

Monday, March 12th, 2007

I got a little sidetracked this weekend by a movie about Gladiators. Here’s a slightly delayed repost consisting a fuckload (which is even bigger than an assload or a crapload) of New Order songs. The instrumental B-side ‘Thieves Like Us’ was not posted before, and neither were the 80 bagillion remixes of ‘Someone Like you.’

Too Tired For A Title

Friday, March 9th, 2007

A few more requests tonight. Fans of Big Country should take note, I also put up the live version of ‘Lost Patrol’ which I don’t believe I posted before. You can expect two more posts of requests in the next couple days or so, I don’t think I’ll be able to fill all of them (you guys asked for A LOT) but if you like New Order, Erasure or B.A.D. then I suggest checking back in a day or so. Anything else I get around to is bonus. Sorry if I skip your request, but I lost a ton of stuff when my hard drive got fried and I really don’t have the time to re-record it all right now. Speaking of which, if anyone out there still has the remixes of ‘Heroin’ that I put up a while ago email me cuz I lost that record!

I recently added my Yahoo! messenger name to my profile so if anyone wants to send a comment or chat sometime feel free! I love talking to music geeks – especially if you are very attractive females that live in the greater Pittsburgh area.

I Am Relieved To Know I Am Not A Golem

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

I just figured out that March 9th marks the one year anniversary of The Lost Turntable! It also probably marks the three month anniversary of people actually visiting The Lost Turntable. So, I will be caving to requests from all you jerks that leave comments asking me to repost songs by reposting some of them throughout the week. So expect a lot of “greatest hits” updates throughout the week. If you already haven’t harassed me about an awesome song that you couldn’t get a hold of because you were too damn late to the party, leave a comment now asking for it or forever hold your pieces.

Josie Cotton
(Let’s Do) The Blackout
This is the b-side to Josie’s first/last/only hit ‘Johnny, Are You Queer?’ I went on Youtube to try and find a video for that song and discovered way way way too many homemade anime music videos for it. Yaoi fans are scary sometimes.

Was (Not Was)
Wheel Me Out
Hello Operator…I Mean My Dad…I Mean Police…I Don’t Even Remember Who I Am
Okay, so this is proof my mind “works” in very odd ways sometime. This is the stream-of-conciosusness thought process my mind went through when I found this single, “Hey, those guys did that 80s dance song ‘Walk The Dinosaur’, I really liked that song when I was kid. Man I used to love dinosaurs, I miss that one cartoon Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, this song could’ve been the theme song to that show, they just would’ve had to change ‘I walk the’ to ‘Cadillacs’ it totally would’ve worked. Why’d they cancel that show? It was so awesome, the video game totally sucked. I heard it was a comic book too, I should try to find it sometime. I wonder if it got made into a cartoon because of the success of the TMNT crossover into animation? When’s that new TMNT movie coming out? That looks good. I hope it’s better than TMNT3, why the fuck did they go back in time? What a dumb idea…”

Anyways…these tracks are off of their very first single for Ze Records. Even if you didn’t like their big hit you should check these ones out because these tracks from 1980 are way way ahead of their time and probably influenced the entire dance scene of the 80s. ‘Wheel Me Out’ seems to be based on an illegal sample of ‘You Belong To The City’ and ‘Hello Operator…’ has to be one of the best song titles of all-time.

2 Men A Drum Machine & A Trumpet
Tired Of Getting Pushed Around
Tired Of Getting Pushed Around (Mayhem Mix)
From great song titles to great names for a band. 2 Men A Drum Machine & A Trumpet were really just two men, David Steele and Andy Cox. Fans of great early 80s music should recognize them as two of the founding members of The English Beat. Fans of not-so-great late 80s music might recognize them as two-thirds of Fine Young Cannibals.

Men At Work
Who Can It Be Now (Special Version)
F-19
According to the promo single from which these tracks came from this version of ‘Who Can It Be Now’ is a ‘special remix.’ I don’t know what makes it special and I’m not about to dig out my copy of Business As Usual to find out. F-19 is a nice little instrumental B-side.

Some New Romantic TV Sound

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Midterms are the devil’s work – especially when the professor schedules a comprehensive essay exam the same day a huge group presentation project is due. I feel as if I’m far to old to deal with lazy 19-year-old girls who can’t get their work done for a team project because they’re too busy recovering from a night of ‘clubbing.’ Oh well, New Wave music will set me free.

ABC

The Night You Murdered Love (Sheer Chic Mix)
The Night You Murdered Love (The Whole Story)
Love had it coming, we all know that. The ‘Sheer Chic mix’ of the song incorporates a little bit of Chic’s ‘Freak Out’ into it. This is from 1987…so it might be the first ‘mash-up’ ever! The ‘Whole Story’ is about twice as long as the original version and includes a very odd rap by someone calling herself Contessa Lady V. ‘The Whole Story’ is available on some CD reissues of Alphabet City. I took these from the 12” single.

ABC
King Without A Crown (The Mendelsohn Mix)
King Without A Crown (The Monarchy Mix)
Look Of Love (Live)
Poison Arrow (Live)
All Of My Heart (Live)
All of these tracks are off of the 12” single for King Without A Crown. Both of these remixes are better than the original in my opinion. According to the back of the sleeve the live tracks are from a concert at the Boston Metro on 12/17/82.

Various Artists
8
8.5
9
Various Artists is the name of the artist – that’s the worst name for a band or performer in the history of music, and can be added to the ever growing list of “bands impossible to search for on Google” right next to ‘The The’ and ‘!!!’. At least with those bands you can search for song titles, but the majority of work by Various Artists (which is really just a dude named Thorsten Profrock) are just numbers. I guess that’s one way to beat file-sharing services. These three tracks are off of an EP he released a few years ago. This is some super-ambient experimental shit. If you like Aphex Twin and other artists of that ilk you should dig it. If not then don’t say I didn’t warn you…
