ok alone ok
today i went to supervalu and bought some yoghurt and a bottle of water and my total came to 3.03. i gave the guy 5.05 so i got 2.02 change. over the last few years i’ve ended up in rooms 101, 202, 303, 505, 606, 707, 808 and 909 at various hotels i’ve stayed in. these are all roland machines, synths and drum machines, made in japan in the 1980s which have been used quite a lot in the making of dance music since the acid house movement in the mid 80s. maybe it’s a sign that my true calling lies in electronic music although my current obsession with the new laura marling record has part of me pulled back to the more acoustic end of things. so many records to make………. might have to leave that hip hop record until my 40s
i own a tb303 and an mc202 which i’ve used quite a lot in the making of the spilly walker album which is close to completion. as i’m heavily in debt from the release of my last record i’m still trying to find a way of releasing the stuff but i can’t wait to get it out and i’m dying for those who’ve expressed excitement about it to hear it. it may end up as a digital only release on gold spillin much as it would be amazing to see a vinyl release. here’s an early mix from 2007 of one of the tracks likely to end up on the album. it features the 202 and 303 as well as samples of a 505…
earlier in the day a friend sent me this link to a reissue of a very curious record made in india in 1982 using all roland gear which predates the acid house movement. check it out…..http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=288726

Well Dre,
I’ve found myself in similar thoughts while hotel floating, indulging myself in what the rooms offer but then i go. The blur of trying to complete music desires can get heavy and i tend to listen to my comfort rather then gambling on the future. I have been a fan from the early days and moved with your flow.- And you still haven’t let me down. Put it all on Electro and get that LP out there.. Comfort means your not living.
I hate when you give the cashier a calculated amount of change like that, and then they hand it back to you, because they don’t understand what you’re trying to do. In that instance it seemed to work, though. It’s a risky business.
