the last couple of days have seen me going through piles of records i no longer want. stuff i bought between the late 90's and early 00's. i used to buy a lot of progressive house and (ssssh, don't tell anyone...trance). i'd always bought (what i considered) great house/techno/hip-hop but with the drugs available at the time prog/trance just seemed to sound great. totally buzzing my nut off to these tracks just seemed to make sense. we'd go out to a club, come back and carry on taking pills whilst playing these tracks in the background. one of the lad's used to throw great parties and him, me and another lad would play the tunes. fucking great times ! it's all in the past now and i know it'll never be like that again. we're either married, got kids, moved away or just don't fancy drugs anymore...
so now i'm left with all these records i don't like. i must have liked them at the time but listening to some of them now, 12, 10, 8, 6 years later some of them are complete and utter garbage. ah well, i suppose it'll leave me more room for some great new records ! by the time i've finished the clearout i reckon i'll be taking about five hundred shit records to the second hand shop. i've talked to the bloke at the shop and explained i don't want any money, i just want rid. he's happy to oblige. best of all my dad's happy after i cleared a load from his house, "that ceiling's going to come through one day" he used to say. mrs smackhead is also happy, the guest room has been my record room for too long (apparently). problem is, as soon as i'm clearing stuff out i'm getting new stuff in. i was down the second hand shop the other day and some fella dumped an ace disco collection, whilst another brought in his old house stuff. what is a record junkie to do ? you guessed it...

ivan smackhead!
didnt you used to grace the radio one msg boards?
Theres was a dub mix of this that was on a lot of house mixtapes I had in 97. Always loved it and even though I knew she didn't actually say it, I thought it sounded like, "De-demon snot, deep deep now it's not". I thought it was hilarious. It was probably the drugs.
yes that was me on the messageboards about 2 years(?) ago. it was the first messageboard i tried. i was actually posting from the library because i didn't have a computer back then. with the greatest respect, there were very few people on there who actually had a clue and i quickly got tired of the place. i can only assume that by looking in here you were one of the few too ?
as for hearing different lyrics in songs i used to think that londres strut track (fabi paras on cowboy records) was saying "baste my chicken" instead of "basslines kickin'".
thanks for looking in.
I thought it was you,(i was cosmic sandwhich back in the day) if you thought it was bad then go on now its dire i go on about once a month.
Really quite sad i had alot of interesting conversations on that message board then it got over run by track ids and electro house heads.
Good to see you on blogger il link you up to ours.
