Sexytime isn’t “spare” time.

David – I think Isaac often strung songs out too much as well he just jad a larger palette to paint from than Vanilla Fudge did. There was only so much they could do with a song wheras Ike had the arrangements to pull off more covers. They’re a whole lot of fun though.

Marvin COULD HAVE made great music in the 80s if he’d have worked with the right people. In the 60s and 70s he had the benefit of some great producers and musicians working on his stuff. When he went to Sony he seemingly got fuck all to work with.There are 20 or 30 production teams/bands he could have made great 80s soul with if only someone had got them together.

B – I probably should have put 30% of spare time as Poketime and dropped general internets down a bit.

Damn, you sure dedicate yourself to “eating it”. I can’t find “hittin it” anywhere so you must be really good at it!

That Marvin video is something else, how has he managed to make it totally not sound like the Star Spangled banner and more like some smooth 80s soul?

I am also big on those shades.

That Vanilla Fudge also rocks it, that album is great. I also like that for some really trippy sounds it just appears to be four regular dudes on alot of drugs.

I wanna see TV On The Radio live. Alot.

Oh and you spend more that 4% of your free time playing Pokemon.

I like Vanilla Fudge a lot.
The difference between their covers and Ike’s, is that Ike’s are all perfectly judged. He always knew exactly how far to push a song, how long a guitar solo should be, how many times to repeat a backing vocal, when to introduce the strings etc. Vanilla Fudge had no judgement so everything is turned up to eleven, all they way through. Which is fantastic when it works, as it does here.

I can’t listen to Marvin singing backed by drum machines and 80s synths. Not without thinking of how amazing the musicians he worked with on most – ok, all – of his Motown stuff were.

I very much doubt that most 80s hiphop videos exist in master form. Record masters may have mostly been saved but I doubt videos were in general. If those 80s hiphop videos were owned by majors or if their rights are now then they really don’t care about anything other than “protecting rights” on the off chance that they can then sell the rights to someone else. LastFM have just launched their video offering and they are licensing videos from the labels for some, I assume small, amount. They may get round to licensing back cat videos for Hiphop artists and they would then remain up unlike youtube which doesn’t license anything.

It takes a lot longer to pick a decent booger than it does to eat it, unless you put a big green one inside your spaghetti.

I spose you’re just choosy when it comes to boogers.
Half my favourited vids have gone from my youtube, have you noticed this with yours? it must be the record labels removing them no? I can sort of understand it but most of them are 80’s hip hop vids from back when rakim had proper lambchop sideburns that we’ll never get to see again. It would’nt be so bad if the labels released dvd collections of that stuff cos so many people would buy it, so why don’t they? or is it like when the BBC used to record over old masters of steptoe!

You missed out making pie charts. And youtube separate from internets? And you spend twice as much time picking your nose as eating it? Does this mean you discard 50% of boogers, or that the eating is a relativly easy task, unless there is hair in with it of course, compared to the picking?
