Wild Planet!! Party Like It's 1985!

In 1985 DJ Andujar was in sixth grade and still dreaming about losing his virginity. It's closing in on 2010 and he's also lost his mind: he'll be revisiting the stone-washed decade for the endtimes of this most recent one, the Bio-Tech decade. Yes, 2010 is glowing brightly in front of us with an illuminating embrace on a New England night. Yes, just another January 1st, 2010. Let's make it in style...mullets, MTV, friendship pins, painted buildings, A Flock of Seagulls.

We're hosting a New Year's Eve party with the Hope & Olive in Greenfield. Come for some amazing food and drinks (menu here), and stay for some 80s jams. Calling it "Wild Planet", DJs Andujar and 12XU will have some deep crates of 80s vinyl on hand for this decade's final booty shake. We'll be throwing down new wave, electro, pop and hip-hop, with some fun surprises as well! Of course we'll have the MJ, Madonna and Prince, but how about also Joy Division, the Smiths, the B-52's, Rob Base, Rick James...all on vinyl. What's your request?

The Hope & Olive has a full bar, an expansive menu and a dance floor ready for you. Located in downtown Greenfield (44 Hope St, corner of Olive), the Hope & Olive has blessed Franklin County with one of the friendliest and choicest spots for fine beer, a superb wine list and a menu with an appreciation for local growers. There is plenty of free parking and the night will be right.

Make your reservations for dinner or come down for the dance party. The records roll at 10 and will go till 2. No cover charge for this party.

Dock Ellis & the LSD No-Hitter

One of my all time favorite players, Dock Ellis, has been gone almost a year now. But his no-hitter he pitched while tripping on acid will always be remembered.




Video by James Blagden & No Mas TV. Listen to Rufus Thomas' "Push & Pull" in the background.

Check Ellis' autobiography, Dock Ellis in the Country of Baseball. Also check Barbara Manning's tribute to him on her SF Seals Baseball Trilogy 7" on Matador.

Here's the Playlist from the WMUA Record Fair

I don't usually keep playlists from my DJ sets, other than on the radio. But WMUA asked me to, so here it is...

Note: I'm not absolutely certain on the order, but I did my best to remember.

-Mr Chop..."Breakdown" (Stark Reality 45)
-the Jimi Entley Sound..."Apache" (Espionage Disk 45)
-Oh No..."Feel Me" (Now Again 45)
-Max B..."Black n' Roll" (from s/t LP on Wah Wah)
-Morgen..."Welcome to the Void" (from s/t LP on ABC)
-the Shocking Blue..."Love Buzz" (from s/t LP on Colossus)
-Charley Cuva..."Sink the Boat" (from soundtrack LP to Putney Swope, on Fortune Teller)
-Michael Leonhart & the Avramina 7..."Scopolamine" (Truth & Soul 45)
-Staff Carpenborg & the Electric Corona..."All Men Shall Be Brothers of Ludwig" (from Psych-Funk 101 compilation LP on World psychedelic Funk Classics)
-El Michels Affair..."Shimmy Shimmy Ya" (from Enter the 37th Chamber LP on Fat Beats)














And for those record geeks that wanna know what I copped:

-Bio Ritmo...first 7" (on Merge)...$2 (thanks Ron!)
-Guaco...Es Guaco LP (on Sonografica, Venezuela)...$1
-Rotary Connection...Songs LP (on Cadet)...$10 (thanks Dean!)
-Mighty Baby...A Jug of Love LP (on Toadstool, Australia)...$15 (thanks Conrad!)
-Isis...self titled LP (on Buddah)...this is the funky all-female hard rock band from the 70s. I already have this jam but I couldn't pass up an extra at $3
-Chi Chi Favelas and the Black & White Band...Rock Solid LP (on Barclay)...I am thinking this is probably bad disco but I couldn't pass it up for the bondage photos and evil song titles. After all the price was right...$free! (thanks Studebaker Hawk!)
-Ernie Agosto y la Conspiración...Cada Loco con su Tema/Different Strokes LP (on Vaya)...$10
-Dennis Coffey...Evolution LP (on Sussex)...$3
