February 28, 2012 with Jay Carroll

Jay Carroll is one of the personalities behind Five Three Dial Tone Records and the now-retired polarizing Eat This City blog. This night was the pre-party to the release of the excellent Belle Ghoul 7″, and we celebrated with special live performances by labelmates Jen David of Illy Mack and George Morris of the Satin Peaches.  Plus a great mix of tunes that ended up being a lot of 80s and 90s dance music.

February 21, 2012 with Carjack!

This was a great night that took a lot of musical turns I didn’t anticipate. Brian has been collecting records for years and has gotten a lot of great things along the way that are pretty hard to find nowadays and his tastes run a broad spectrum. The 90-minute mixtape is posted below. He also performed a special live set as his unique one-man-show alterego CARJACK. Enjoy!

Ben Hernandez is the man behind nearly all of the musical events at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit (MOCAD). He also co-hosts a DJ night every Thursday night at Donovan’s Pub, which is right behind the train station. You should probably go down there sometime.

Shit got loud that night, and as a result this recording is pretty hot!

January 17, 2012 with Adam Stanfel

“Atomic” Adam Stanfel plays bass with local soul legend Melvin Davis and guitar with soul revivalists the Wrong Numbers. He collects exclusively 45s. And a weird bonus fact: he was the president of my graduating class in high school.

Technical note: This was my first test with recording the set digitally, and because of that the sound is pretty distorted. Also I had it set up so that when the cassette tape stop recording the digital recording stopped as well, so there are a couple little gaps in the recording. This has all been since fixed, but unfortunately you’ve got to deal with it to enjoy this sweet set of soul, gospel and R&B.

January 10, 2012 with Jeremy Stork and Dale Wilson

Jeremy Stork and Dale Wilson have been friends for years and bandmates in various outfits during that time, including Four Hour Friends and currently Octopus. Both of them are avid record collectors, especially Jeremy, who has made it a daily habit of picking through thift stores and flea markets. I was also in The Drinking Problem with Jeremy for quite a while, and we were also in the shortlived “New” Rants, a band assembled behind Ian Saylor to celebrate the delayed  release of The Rants’ underappreciated Spirit! album. It was a night of a lot of great pop tunes and soul music.
