For The Same Man was sampled a few years ago for a club jam which I thought was pretty awesome

thump thump thump!

Robsoul on Aug 28 '10 at 12:05pm

Except for you ofcouse, Spaceman who is sick. I'm surrounded by boxes right now, still haven't unpacked my records after moving.

Robsoul on Aug 28 '10 at 12:08pm

All that stuff gets sampled to death, it honestly amazing when you pick up a dusty old record and say to yourself, "ah, that's where that got that amazing sample!" Bambaataa's Planet Rocks is straight from Kraftwerk and something else.

Good dirty cover of Same Man to keep up with the times.

Robsoul on Aug 28 '10 at 12:52pm

Love this, time to slow it down .

50% of my music collection is from the 80's decade. Most of what I really love to listen to from the 80's is very well known bands though. If the band was beyond amazing then they were well known eventually.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was not well known for a long time in the 80's, but now most people know who he is. He is my favorite blues guitarist of all time. If I you want to expand your horizons into the 80's blues then SRV is the place to start. Here is a vid of him:

This is the ultimate 80's rock your booty song of all time!

"If the band was beyond amazing then they were well known eventually. "

Biggest misconception ever, at least on a commercial level, which I assume is what you are suggesting.

When we think of disco today, we thing of KC & The Sunshine Band and all that commercial crap, whereas, in Italy and Europe, there were tons of amazing disco bands and producers that weren't commercially viable, never became famous, yet their records are searched for today and most people, including myself, have never ever heard of them. Just because it was never a commercial success does classify it as bad music... there's a lot of commercial music that is terrible.

*does not

Robsoul on Aug 28 '10 at 4:19pm

The thing is, we've all heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mix A Lot, I wanna find those incredible artists that slipped through the cracks into obscurity.

"80s jams you've never heard of "

I also like big butts though, we all do.

lemonalle on Aug 28 '10 at 4:37pm

i'm going to be looking for some of these on emusic too :D

Robsoul on Aug 28 '10 at 10:36pm

Ah, I love La Poupee qui Fait Non, haven't heard that in ages!

Never heard Don't be Greedy, definitely coming off of the 70s infused disco

Here's Kid Creole And The Coconuts - My Male Curiosity

snaggle tooth on Aug 28 '10 at 10:44pm

Don't forget some Indeep!

Robsoul on Aug 28 '10 at 10:46pm

Oh and Plastic Bertrand is nuts but this track by him is full of epic. I just picked up the repress a few months ago.

robotwaste on Aug 28 '10 at 10:49pm

I remember Juicy Fruit well, especially from Biggie Smalls first album.

robotwaste on Aug 28 '10 at 10:51pm

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this

littlem on Aug 29 '10 at 1:24am

the lead singer's dancing makes this vid and song

Robsoul on Aug 29 '10 at 10:47am

Oh, man, they are great, don't know that I've ever heard of them and this song rocks. I'm digging on the bass guitarists serial killer look... what the fudge is he doing with the bass guitar at the end, it's backwards and he's still "playing" on it... lip syncing much? (I have no experience playing bass so maybe someone knows)

littlem on Aug 29 '10 at 3:24pm

hahah it looks like they just grabbed some idjit outa the crowd to "synch" the bass cuz he's doing it so poorly. i think he's just trying to look good for the video

littlem on Aug 29 '10 at 3:31pm

gumbolimbo on Aug 29 '10 at 3:42pm

Not sure if it goes under the obscurity treshold though

gumbolimbo on Aug 29 '10 at 3:45pm

Outfits are pure win.

littlem on Aug 29 '10 at 9:34pm

Robsoul on Aug 30 '10 at 10:11am

Not really a jam, but definitely a gem

I so want this album, Mathematiques Modernes - Les Visiteurs Du Soir LP

Robsoul on Aug 30 '10 at 10:12am

Seems like that Tragic Error vid would be current, ahahaha, that was classic, gotta love it.

gumbolimbo on Aug 30 '10 at 10:24am

Another outfit winner. The belgian new beat scene were ironic hiptsters avant la lettre.

Robsoul on Aug 30 '10 at 11:17am

Holy hell, I'm have warehouse party flashbacks.

littlem on Aug 30 '10 at 11:19am

all we need in here are strobe lights and sticky beer all over the floor

littlem on Aug 30 '10 at 11:20am

funny thing about warehouse parties: i ALWAYS managed to get drinks spilled on me

Robsoul on Aug 30 '10 at 12:40pm

drinks... hmmm, droogs more like it

Robsoul on Aug 30 '10 at 12:41pm

Okay, back to teh real shit

littlem on Aug 30 '10 at 10:13pm

Robsoul on Aug 31 '10 at 12:18am

I do have to admit that piano rave music does kill my soul. Even though I have tons of house, minimal techouse, d&b records.... piano rave fitzelmitzen polka is the antichrist.

littlem on Aug 31 '10 at 12:23am
