Keyser & Shuriken - newsletter #15: Tom's secret mission
(Brought to you weekly with the kind support of Jah, the almighty and the evil Gorilla.)
Newsflash 29.03.2000
Dear friends,
This weekend was a heavy one. Tom Wieland of Les Gammas visited us in Budapest and we spent three days together with a minimum amount of sleep (4 hours a day on average). He had what many would call a "mission impossible", but we did our best to help him accomplish it. I think we should not reveal the goal of his mission, but we're sure that almost all of you will find out what it was in a few months time. :-)
Anyway, we spent most of the days in second hand record stores and in the flat of a freaky record dealer (who just could not keep quiet for very long), and spent the rest of it partying. Tom played an excellent set on our radio show at Tilos (check the track list below), and also appeared behind the decks at Astro Jazz Lounge, our weekly club night on Sunday. This top guy also brought us a promo CD-R of Les Gammas' forthcoming album (Exercises de Styles) along with a bunch of other pre-release goodies. Soon it'll be on the record store shelves near you so don't miss your chance to listen to it (and from then on, you're hooked anyway).
The night of our first cooperation with the Cinetrip crew will be held on the 15th of April. They are bringing Nicola Conte from Italy (surely you know his works on the Schema label) to the historical Rudas bath, and we will be djing as well. They also organise here a fantastic two-day event in May with a bunch of Ninja Tune artists (Herbaliser, Hextatic, Up, Bustle & Out, DJ Sink and Mixmaster Morris). More details later...
Just to know what to nod your head to!
"A semi-high end stereo store in the valley. Buck, dressed in his usual cowboy-digs, is talking to a CUSTOMER about a stereo unit. The manager, a skinny-white guy with a mustache and mustard suit, JERRY (30s) is standing nearby.
BUCK: -- so basically you're gettin' twice the base, cause of the TK421modification we got in this system here.
CUSTOMER: I don't know - do I need that much bass?
BUCK: If you want a system to handle what you want -- yes you do. See this system here. This is Hi-Fi. "High Fidelity." What that means is that it's the highest quality fidelity.
CUSTOMER: It's the price --
BUCK: I have this unit at home.
CUSTOMER: . . . really . . . ?
BUCK: Yes. But -- I've got it modified with the TK421, which is a bass unit that basically kicks in another two, maybe three quads when you really crank -- lemme put another eight track in so you can get a better idea what I'm talkin about --
Buck ejects the Eight Track that was playing and puts in his own of a country western song.
BUCK: Hear that bass? It kicks and turns and curls up in your belly, makes you wanna freaky-deaky, right? If you get this unit as it is -- it won't sound like this without the modification -- and we do that for a small price."
Keep on trying to get freaky-deaky till next week!
