I played the SHIT out of this

I picked up your mom

Well actually there's worse. Your momma sung a few c notes in your recordings because well... daddy DQ was working up an appetite, your momma was looking forward to a little afternoon delight. Sky rockets in flight, batch!

backstage at a Rick James concert. I was wearing nothing but a member's only jacket and a sheepskin condom hitting your moms from the back in the handicap stall while Rick sang Super Freak waiting his turn.

Bridge of Sighs was awesome with headphones

Good stuff, ells, it might have been SUNY binghamton,harper college radio station. On Sunday nights they would play this stuff. I used to record or run to the record store to get 12 inch records. Dimples d, mj, grand master, shit was off the hook. I would practice my break dancing listening to this stuff.

If The DJ Talked?

Dude, that was what all DJs worth their salt were supposed to do. It's called "hitting the post" -- talking over the intro and shutting yer trap the instant the singing started.

While the song on air was playing, you put the dial controlling the next song in "cue" and while the start to the song was playing, you PRACTICED what you were going to say to make sure you got it right. But when you were live, you turned off the mic and swore like a longshoreman if you missed it by even half a breath.

Memories.

I was taking a shit in the next stall over.

I have 45's that indicate the amount of time before the singing starts.

But I would venture to say we still hate you guys (not you personally) for talking over the intros.

I still possess two 12 inch vinyl records by Grandmaster Flash... "White Lines" and "The Message".

Keep those records IE!

Intro Times On The Records Were Rare When I Was A DJ

I was a morning DJ at three stations (Westfield Massachusetts, Wellsboro PA and Sunbury PA) from 1970 through 1978 -- the Disco Era was about the time they started putting intro times on singles.

Pulling it off got to be addictive. When you were in the car going someplace, you'd have a station on the radio and if the DJ hit the post dead on, it was almost as good as doing it yourself ("Oh man, he NAILED it!!").

Even now, if I'm on YouTube with a video or just the audio of a song from back in the day, I'll talk it up just for the hell of it -- drives my wife crazy!

KELLY ' DISCO' GREEN IN WELLSBORO PA. THE GRAND CANYON OF PA. LAND. I HEAR THE BEARS WORE WHITE SUITS AND GOLD CHAINS WITH THAT CURLY HORN HANGING, (WHATEVER THAT DAMN THING WAS) WHILE THEY DANCED AND LISTENED TO THE MASTER HITTING THE PIPE, I MEAN POST.

I can totally see this.
