charleston charge (chaki), Saturday, 7 May 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

19 deodato - love island

!!!

sugarpants: baby's face on football! (sugarpants), Saturday, 7 May 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

haha. i have that album. got it free when i took some dude's whole collection of like 50 crap records.

i've never listened to it before right now. i guess i could see how it would fit within the rest of your mix.

[that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 7 May 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

gareth, should i buy the bobby brown "The Enlightening Beam of Axonda" cd? the guy at aquarius told me to pick it up this week but i was feeling broke.

btw, i coulda sworn that he was a she on the cover

[that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 7 May 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

also, if i were you, i woulda put the deodato track right after the title track on that album "Chariot of the Gods". it's got some fresh fuzz guitar and gurgly synth. still really silly and soft

[that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 7 May 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

haha, i can't believe i'm still listening to this deodato album. it's really not that terrible. it's pre all that soprano sax fusion smooth jazz, but it's still really smooth. but it's definitely got some funk hiding in there.

probably better than the spyro gyra stormy tried to get me to listen to that one time ;)
Spyro Gyra - S & D / Classic or Dud?

[that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 7 May 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

bobby brown is good in crazy hippy one man band sort of way.

jack cole (jackcole), Saturday, 7 May 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

i like deodato of that period. it fits in with the softpop vibe via early dave grusin (think california montage, which i'm going to put in as well i think)

enlightening beam of axonda is really great, i love it a lot. his 2nd lp, live (1978) is good too, though thats not been reissued yet (as it doenst have a very good cover, and has a crap name, i dont think it will get reissued)

charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 8 May 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

this is on your mp3cd, chaki, which is being mailed today!

charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

simi valley is what the world would look like if it was just one long strip mall after another.

gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

"getting lost in the TJMAXX/DRESS BARN parking lot"

gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

its easy to get lost in the mall

charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Simi mix would more appropriately be AMERICAN IDOL mix.

Leonard Thompson (Grodd), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:05 (twenty years ago)

simi valley is not a nice place to live but it is nice to visit all the old western sets. i went hiking on the little house on the prarie and and zorro set (which is haunted) last week.

charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

whats the story on the haunted zorro set, chaki?

jack cole (jackcole), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

i duno i just went there and heard voices and started getting freaked out

charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...
thanks!

they don't like inner dialogue/the free design here.

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

they don't like inner dialogue/the free design here

i dont mind!

(you already have all this!)

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

I know!

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

13 bobby brown - mama knows boy's a rambler

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

if i look left, out of my window, i can just make out topanga canyon road

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

but maybe its just a mirage. its so easy to get lost, these days

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

in Holloway?

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

with my best girl at my side, baby we could be anywhere

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

she looks very charming

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

gareth, you should rename this mix:

"Known primarily as the home of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley also regularly ranks first or second "safest city in America" in annual surveys (among all cities with populations above 100,000, alternating with Thousand Oaks) and gained notoriety as the location of the infamous trial (1992) of Los Angeles Police Officers accused of beating Rodney King that sparked race riots in Los Angeles on April 29, 1992."

gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

gygax, can I ask you a serious question - which do you think moves more people a day, MTA or BART?

This is to settle an argument with Alex in SF. I won't tell you which side I'm taking so as not to influence your answer.

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

According to google.com, MTA moves more than 25x more people per day than BART. I was gonna say 10x more, so I'm a little surprised too.

gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Right! No surprise there then!

Alex also maintains that EVERYONE who has EVER been in a movie has had some sort of plastic surgery and that Bill Murray is in his 70s (he's 55)!!!!!

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

this mix was to have had the fun & games - topanga canyon road, and to have been titled dreamt of topanga, but after drowning at moon lake, who wouldn;t get lost, from time to time?

i hope you like some of the music presented here

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

i got lost in a mall in sacramento, and also in northern virginia. i even got lost in elephant & castle tube station, twice, in the last 6 or 7 weeks. getting lost can be aa curiously liberating experience, though, i don't get lost often, and i think the only place i get truly lost, is trying to work out the roads of northern virginia, in and around the beltway.

this music, of course, isn't appropriate for the beltway!

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

Topanga Cyn Road takes you from Chatsworth through West Hills (read Mike Davis' City Of Quartz for more info) into Calabasas, then Topanga and finally Malibu. Unfortunately it does not touch Simi Valley but Box Canyon is a little closer and has a more rich history (read Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi for more info).

But I will take a listen to your mix! Get lost in Uxbridge, friend.

gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

Unfortunately it does not touch Simi Valley

hence, got lost:)

i have that mike davis book in a bag with me right now, along with a dvd bootleg of the london nobody knows, from 1966, (narrated by james mason), and 12 postcards, from various places

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

give me the london nobody knows!

i think the only place i get truly lost, is trying to work out the roads of northern virginia, in and around the beltway.

I got hopelessly lost here, travelling down the East Coast with my brother. We got into a huge argument and I made him get out and ask for directions. We were also trying to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway, but it was closed.

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

ive been there a few times now, and its truly baffling, i never feel disoriented, but i do around there

the blue ridge parkway wasnt that well marked either, and you can only enter at certain points i think. we missed it at roanoke, but got on it a bit further north. haha, ronaoke! thats where you didnt find the mini-graceland, isnt it? we found it! didnt get lost there (photos are on flickr)

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Virginia didn't seem terribly interesting to me. It seemed like Ohio but with more Dairy Queens, kind of inbetween. But we didn't spend much time there, so it's hardly a very informed opinion. I'd like to go back to the Carolinas, too, even Myrtle Beach! (but only for a day or so)

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

mmm, dairy queen

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

gareth

whenever i see you post, i always just think "i owe this man $5."

Ian John50n (orion), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

he's not a man

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

I probably owe him something too.

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

adam will you bring me a spark? and the 27p that ian owes me?

charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

yes, if you really want one!

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to give stevem and matt dc a spark too

Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:50 (twenty years ago)

Gareth, do you have any of the later Inner Dialogue stuff? My friend Kristian just burned me a couple of songs from the followup album. It's a bit perkier, it almost sounds like British session singers doing an early 70s TV theme song. No, honestly!

I can YSI it if you'd like.

Gogi Ormsby-Gore (Arthur), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

gareth, have you heard of the Novi Singers? they're a polish vocal jazz group kinda like the Swingle Singers, but some of their tracks are really dark and space-y. and the records go for dough (my buddy just bought one for 100$ i think). i'll ysi some soon also.

JAXON (jaxon), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 03:53 (twenty years ago)

Just put the song up on the YSI thread, along with a Daughters of Albion song.

Gogi Ormsby-Gore (Arthur), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

i have the 2nd album, friends, but i didnt like it very much

as for novi singers, ive heard of them, but havent actually heard them, though i have wanted to hear them for a while

charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

i ysi-ed them to the noise ysi thread

JAXON (jaxon), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

i liked the novi singers

did jaxon or gygax (good goal the other night, you ol moonlighter) like anything here. i think this thread has been, hmm, how do you say, a little less popular than i might have hoped.

still, gives me more time to prepare a hapa hoale aural holiday thread

terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

i would have been all over this if i had speakers hooked up to my PC.

Ian John50n (orion), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

oh, i totally dug the whole thing. i have it on the ol' ipod Maxi.

gareth, i think i already asked you, but do you know if someone sampled the first song from François de Roubaix's "Dernier Domicile Connu"?

JAXON (jaxon), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

robbie williams!

terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

HAHA. are you serious?

JAXON (jaxon), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

also, here's my new favorite Free Design track The Symbol Ring

JAXON (jaxon), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

totally, it was his top 10 single, Supreme.

i think its been used by 2 or 3 others also, though (lil bow wow maybe)

terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 8 September 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

that's a great Free Design track, have to get that album.

this one's my favorite: Friends (Thank You All)

Being located so near Hollywood, Simi Valley has long been convenient location for the film industry. Simi Valley and the surrounding hills have been the site of several television series, including the long running televsion series Gunsmoke and M*A*S*H.

The popular 70s television show Little House on the Prairie was filmed at extensive sets built up in the hilly landscapes of the Blue Sky Ranch in the Tapo Canyon hills north of Simi Valley. In addition to the Little House itself, the entire set for the town of Walnut Creek was built atop the hills.

The 1982 motion picture Poltergeist addresses the issue of ghosts, with an oblique treatise on the rampant development and buried history of suburban Southern California.

In 1983, Colleen McCullough's TV mini-series, The Thorn Birds, was brought to life in a remote corner of the Simi Valley. Australia proved to have too many obstacles for the producers to handle, including that there could only be two American actors in any movie filmed there. All the rest had to be Australian. Location scouts were sent out, and Simi Valley, which looks very similar in parts to the Australian countryside, was chosen to build the set of the famous Cleary ranch and sheep station, Drogheda.[citation needed]

In the 1984 film "Bachelor Party" starring Tom Hanks, the MANN 6 Movie Theater formerly located within the Sycamore Shopping Center was used for the movie theater scene.

The Brandeis-Bardin Institute's House of the Book is the location of the original Power Ranger Power Chamber.

The finale toy company and its car park scenes from Sneakers were filmed at the Countrywide Loans Data Processing - Admin Plant at 400 Countrywide Way.

The delivery of the ransom money in The Big Lebowski shows a highway sign naming Simi Valley.

The video for Bullet with Butterfly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins was filmed in Simi Valley.

In the 1999 comedy Joe Dirt, the character found his long-lost parents in a trailer home park in Simi Valley (but on some versions, it was changed to Yucca Valley, California).[citation needed]

Most of the 2003 film adaptation of The Cat in the Hat starring Mike Myers and Dakota Fanning was filmed in Simi Valley. The elaborate faux suburb where most of the film takes place was built on vacant land in a hilly area in West Simi Valley.

The video for "Hexagram," by The Deftones was filmed with fans watching the band play the song in an indoor skatepark in Simi Valley.

this mall was once all pink and was dubbed "the pepto bis-mall"

i am a mud person in this.

chaki, Monday, 23 July 2007 06:19 (eighteen years ago)

That source is pretty iffy.

Being located so near Hollywood, Simi Valley has long been convenient location for the film industry. Simi Valley and the surrounding hills have been the site of several television series, including the long running televsion series Gunsmoke and M*A*S*H.

M*A*S*H (TV) was filmed in the Santa Monica Mountains in what is now Malibu Creek State Park, pretty far from Simi Valley (a good 20-30 miles as the crow flies). Unfortunately in the bad fire in the early 90s, most of the preserved set perished.

The popular 70s television show Little House on the Prairie was filmed at extensive sets built up in the hilly landscapes of the Blue Sky Ranch in the Tapo Canyon hills north of Simi Valley. In addition to the Little House itself, the entire set for the town of Walnut Creek was built atop the hills.

Tapo is pretty far from Simi too, wtf. Might as well say Fillmore or Moorpark or Ventura.

The 1982 motion picture Poltergeist addresses the issue of ghosts, with an oblique treatise on the rampant development and buried history of suburban Southern California.

Poltergeist was filmed in Agoura Hills, again pretty far from Simi Valley. I know this because a girl I dated in college lived on the street where the opening shots take place. You may remember the opening scene with the RC cars racing around and there's a big oak tree in the middle of the street. Gimme a sec and I'll google map it.

Steve Shasta, Monday, 23 July 2007 07:09 (eighteen years ago)

OMG the oak tree is gone, it looks like just an empty island in the middle of the street. no stump even.
