Every now and then there are three little piles of vinyl I reach for and plunge into nostalgia. The first is a fairly complete selection of KLF 12s which we won't go into now, the second is a big old collection of early Go-Go stuff (also not for today) and the third is a small mound of hip-hop singles I fell in love with - headed by We'll Be Right Back by Steinski and Mass Media. Steinski was a particular hero because he managed to be both influential in the history of hip-hop and have a job in advertising. But in that way that sometimes we're all too dense it never occurred to me to try and drag that affection out of the past and see what Mr Steinski et al was up to now. But yesterday while following links relating to dj/rupture I stumbled across Steve Steinski's blog and it's a marvelous thing. I've had a marathon listening to his shows on WFMU and you might want to too.
(hmm tried to post but disappeared into a digital black hole - will try again).
Enjoying this. Thanks for the heads up. 'And The Motorcade Sped On' has always been a particular favourite of mine.
