Is the first one still in print? One of the record stores here in State
College, PA had it a while back but I passed up on it. My buddy, another
DJ from the radio station, ended up finding it an new home in his
collection. Grrrrrrrrr...he beat me to it!
No problem, I'll just transfer it on DAT (for non-commercial purposes, of
course...) until I can find a copy of my own. Makes me wish they made
DATs with pitch control. That would be sweet...but until then I'm forced
to chase down rare records and tracks, eh?
At any rate, the first Pulp Fusion is 3 X 12" of really timeless,
beautiful, straight-up-FUNK!

In other news, they just shafted the jazz department in our radio station
(WKPS 90.7 FM -- Penn State University) in terms of hours for the Fall
Grid. They used to have weekdays from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM with quite a
large audience, but b/c of office politics, narrow musical tastes, and
the fact that a big part of their staff just graduated -- their time was
cut to Sundays 1-7 PM. That's not a department...that's barely an
extended specialty show. I don't understand people. Jazz is some of the
most beautiful world wide music, born in the USA, and people will rather
put "Puff Daddy's latest top 10" on? Don't get me wrong, if Puffy does
it for you, listen to him. I just wish college radio, or radio in
general for that matter, would diversify. NPR tries, but that's about
it. I'd rather hear the schizophrenic programming of college radio:
rap,celtic music, jazz, house, talk shows,
classic rock, funk, ambient, news, soul, country,
acid jazz, greatful dead hour, metal, latin,
sports, and whatever else people want to be heard
than the pop infused, souless, consummerist propaganda.
I guess what I' saying is support College and Non-Commerical Radio. I'm
going to be cross-listed as
a Jazz DJ in our staion and start doing some shows with them as well as
sharing some of our RPM (electronic music) slots with some of their DJs.
Jazz is the shit! Keep it alive...
Okay...finally off my soapbox. If you actually read this far, thank
you... :)
Peace,
Pedro Cevallos
