The weather has been so nice that it has inspired me to do a bit of early spring cleaning. I have some amazing, one-of-a-kind things for sale on Craigslist. I also have some very boring shit that I just need to get out of my house. If you want any of em, holler!

1970s Soundesign Disco Tek Stereo Combo Cabinet with working motor-driven disco ball and light display

Extremely #RARE home stereo system. Has a motor-driven disco ball and light display as well as a belt driven record player, 8-track, AM-FM stereo receiver and dual stereo cabinet.

I bought this with the intention of replacing the record player (which does not work but may be fixable). The receiver and speakers work, and the receiver takes RCA inputs, which means that you can plug any standard piece of audio equipment into it. The disco ball turns and throws pin-light onto the walls just like a disco ball in a club.

It is highly unlikely you will EVER see another one of these. I love this thing but I decided I just don’t have the time to modify it.

This thing is pretty heavy and you will have to come and move it yourself.

Kimball 1000 Four Voice Electric Organ with Leslie Speaker Cabinet

Electric organ with two keyboards and an octave of foot pedals. Four voices, entertainer percussion, fully functional Leslie speaker unit, knee operated tremolo.

Works fairly well but would probably work perfectly with contact cleaning and a little TLC. I got this from a church that was liquidating old stuff. Seems to be from the early 1970s.

Here’s a video of me playing the organ in question:

You MUST be willing to come and move the organ yourself, it is heavy. Requires two or three people to move.

Assorted Ice Hockey Equipment

Easton kevlar stick shaft, gloves, shoulder pads.

NUFF SAID

With all the record label business, production, podcasting, touring, shows and promotion, I gotta admit, I’ve been a little lax about putting up content on the site, aside from shows and my tunes. The fact that Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Dollar Bin Jams suck up some of my content-posting impulses doesn’t help either.

So, for your listening pleasure, a little roundup of soundcloud gems for your grooving pleasure:

3rd Annual celebration in honor of the mutherfuckin D-R-E, and it’s going down Saturday FEB 18 at the M-Room in Fishtown. Shoutout to Minneapolis’ favorite sons Mike 2600 and Wes from Burlesque of North America for the Dre Day party concept, which turns 10 this year.

I put together a little party break to drop on Saturday and you can listen to it and download it below. Come holler at a super ill g-funk party!

DJs ED BLAMMO, LOW BUDGET, ROMES and yours truly will be on the wheels putting down every classic anthem from the Doctor from ’82-2012, and Buddy Leezle a.k.a Eazy L.E.Z will be regulating on the mic.

Not only that, but the first 40 people in the door get a free COLT 45 40oz, and Colt cans will be cheap and cold at the bar all night.

The ANMLHSE loc’s will be manning the Chronic Album Cover photo booth (see it to believe it), our homies the Decades Hat Co will be releasing their brand new Compton Snapback with a west coast lowrider soul mix from Lowbeezy, and its Ed Blammo’s birthday!

its a mutherfuckin Dre Day…and everybody’s celebrating!

Young Robots Podcast Vol. 3 – February 6th, 2012.

Been working hard on the podcast over at Young Robots. This episode, I interview 18 year old moombahton producer Jay Fay about his upcoming “Bonkers” EP on Young Robots. Jay explains how drumming and the city of St. Louis influenced his unique and percussive style and Jay blesses us with a mix. We also reveal which Fools Gold records star was once Skinny Friedman’s landlord.

Every few years I throw down on some ribs for the Super Bowl, and this year, I made 7 racks (on racks on racks) to feed some hungry folks. Shoutouts to Tony Rodgers for the home-made sauce.
