Caffinate Me

March 13th, 2007

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.’

The (New) New Order Post

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

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

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

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…

Kinky Gone Home

February 27th, 2007

It’s been over a week since my last update?!?! It’s midterm time for me right now and that’s kind of eating all my spare time. Learning is totally overrated and stuff. An odd collection of oddities today, including Italian dance music and proto-punk/rap. Enjoy.

Kinky Go
Gimme The Love (Vocal Version)
Gimme The Love (Instrumental)
So there was a genre called ‘Disco Italo’? Who knew? I guess the Italians knew, but whatever. From what I can tell this was the only song Kinky Go ever released…my, what could have been. This song is strangely addictive in a chewing-on-a-cold-sore kind of way.

Erasure
Blue Savannah (Out Of The Blue Mix)
Blue Savannah (Remix/Edit)
Blue Savannah (Blue Dub)
More Erasure equals more happy.

Lou Reed
My Red Joystick (Remix)
My Red Joystick (Instrumental)
Hearing Lou Reed singing about his “red joystick” is a little creepy and weird…even for Lou Reed. These remixes are off of the 12” single for the song. The original version is on New Sensations.

Lou Reed
The Original Wrapper (Extended Version)
The Original Wrapper (Remix Single Version)
The Original Wrapper (Dub Version)
Video Violence (Remix Version)
Okay, as if Lou singing a pop song about his red joystick wasn’t weird enough, Lou raps on ‘The Original Wrapper’ (I guess the title is an AMAZING pun). Both of these tracks are off of a 12” single. The original versions of them are on Mistrial, which is a Lou Reed album most Lou Reed fans can’t stand. I never heard it but I have to say that I’m a little curious about it after hearing these oddball tracks. I should probably buy Transformer first though, there’s probably some music geek rule about that being your first Lou Reed album.

Jazz Fusion For Punk Rockers In Love

February 19th, 2007

Nothing incredibly bizarre or rare today, just some nice tunes. I got some more soundtracks I’ll be posting later in the week, including one to a movie that I can’t even locate on the IMDB! I’ve never found a movie that wasn’t on the IMDB before – do I get a cookie for that?

Billy Idol – Flesh For Fantasy (Below The Belt Mix)
Random 80s remix #1.

Eurythmics – Would I Lie To You (An Eric ‘ET’ Thorngren Mix)
Random 80s remix #2.

Paul Hardcastle
Don’t Waste My Time (Extended Version)
Loitering With Intent
Moonhopper
Okay, so ‘Don’t Waste My Time’ is kind of a generic dance song that is kind of forgettable, both ‘Loitering WIth Intent’ and ‘Moonhopper’ are awesome tracks though – and ‘Moonhopper’ really has an early-ambient feel to it. I’m digging them. ‘Moonhopper’ is on a few greatest hits compilations, as is the original version of ‘Don’t Waste My Time.’ I don’t think ‘Loitering With Intent’ is on any proper album though, and has only been released on EPs and singles.

Pigbag
Whoops There Goes My Body II
Sunny Day
Papa’s Got A Brand New Pigbag
Let me get this straight…there was a funk, jazz post-punk/new-wave fusion band and no one told me? Various versions of ‘Sunny Day’ and ‘Papa’s Got A Brand New Pigbag’ are available on several Pigbag compilations, but ‘Whoops There Goes My Body II’ doesn’t seem to be on CD at all.

My Only Ska Post Ever

February 19th, 2007

Soundtrack From The Movie Dance Craze
I’ve never been a big ska fan and I think the genre peaked in the early 80s. So this soundtrack find was cool for me. Dance Craze is like the Urgh! of Ska movies, and has a lot of great live cuts that aren’t available anywhere else. The CD version has some more songs than this vinyl one, but it also doesn’t have any tracks by Madness, and I’d rather have the latter than the former. The tracks are listed in their original track order, which is why the bands are a little spaced out and out of order.
The Specials – Concrete Jungle
The English Beat – Mirror In The Bathroom
Bad Manners – Lip Up Fatty
Madness – Razor Blade Alley
The Selecter – Three Minute Hero
The Bodysnatchers – Easy Life
The English Beat – Big Shot
Madness – One Step Beyond
The English Beat – Ranking Full Stop
The Specials – Man At C&A
The Selecter – Missing Words
Bad Manners – Inner London Violence
Madness – Night Boat To Cairo
The Selecter – Too Much Pressure
The Specials – Nite Klub
