HOT WAX. Wow
Amazing night, lots of friends came through and stayed until the end. It was a treat to play on such a slammin' sound system, It was like hearing my records for the first time. Also, working a rotary mixer wasn't as hard as I thought. Shout outs to all that came thru, All of my S-F fam, Noel, Eddy Bauer, Andy, Bryan, Val Pal, Owl Boogie, Hubcap Jones, Cutso, King Most, Vin Roc, Joe Vargo, and ESPECIALLY Freddy and Marky for having us!!
45 Finds
Ran into my pal Mitch at the coffee shop and he asked me to come along for a lightweight dig session. I picked up a few records, 2 of which cost less than 75 cents combined. The single by Janet Jackson "Come Give Your Love To Me" caught my eye because it is a single her first album (self-titled 1981) A hot track from Janet's solo debut is "Young Love" which is definitely Sweater Funk appropriate (Written and produced by Rene Moore and Angela Winbush).
Doesn't the intro sound Fred Schneider-esque a la B-52's?!
10 cent find EW&F "Side by Side"...will try to play this at the Sweater Funk Anniversary party

Perfect Touch & PUTS
My Sweater Funk brother 2-Step Lou is always on the hunt for dope boogie/2-step/Modern Soul records. (Check out his blog Killa Soundz here) He always puts me onto something fresh-here is the latest-
1980 Morning Glory Records
I knew it sounded familiar...download the PUTS track which samples "Merry Go Round", What I would do to thumb through Thes 1's record collection!
Love's Theme-People Under The Stairs (2008)
