Today is the 6th week in the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series. Today we cover the letters D and E. The show starts with a DJ Spun re-edit of the 1978 Bombers track ‘The Mexican’. The other notable re-edits are DW Edits Undisputed Truth edit of Lil’ Red Riding Hood, Ebony Cuts with Carrie Lucas Tic Toc, and Tee Scott’s edit of The Joneses Sugar Pie Guy. There are deep minimal tracks in this show as well as disco edits, or even straight-up disco/soul, such as the Martin L. Dumas Jr track. Things get chilled out with Dos Palos and Tony Esposito, and experimental with EYE. Lots of sounds, all stirred together and caramelized for you.

The fourth week in the non-rock 12″ singles played alphabetically series completes the letter ‘C’ and starts ‘D’. If an artist appears to not belong, that is because the 12″ series starts with D and the single has multiple artists on it. There are several awesome tracks on their own, plus covers and re-edits. The Creams cover Joe Moks. The Police are re-edited by DJ Harvey, Donny Hathaway by Dimitri From Loisada, J.J. Cale by Dirty Sound System, Pink Floyd by danyb, the Cast of South Pacific by Disconnection, Nina Simone by Disco Tech. Big names, nice re-edits. Chicks On Speed sing on the DJ Hell track, cool percussive sounds on the Discodeine track.

The third week in the non-rock 12″ played alphabetically series completes the letter ‘B’ and starts the letter ‘C’. The scope of the sounds is fairly wide, and hidden within are Sun Ra, Elvis and (the song) Pipeline re-edits (The Cosmologist, Pepe California, and Cratebug). Comic Kids and Chari Chari give tracks that have stuck in my head, but mostly I have enjoyed the trip though these 2 hour-long segments.

The second week in the alphabetical non-rock 12″ series continues the letter ‘B’, which will be completed next week. The show starts off with an Al Kent re-edit of Dave Baker, covers some early 00s electro courtesy of Bangkok Impact and later the the 3 Crème Eclipse 12″s. We go way back to 1979 with Black Devil, pleasantly revisit 2005 with Baxendale, then settle in with electronic artists/re-edits of the last decade.

Today begins a new series ’12” played alphabetically’ which will not cover labels I buy lots of releases from, instead covering the one-offs, played alphabetically by artist. If the 12″ is VA, the title is the alphabetical hook. I love this type of series because it is fun to wrestle a fluid show out of such a constraint, and I usually uncover new favorites while re-evaluating old finds. Today’s show brought me a lot of joy, which I hope you experience, especially as it goes live on Valentines Day 2023.

Show #550 is an Electronic show that continues the feel of last week’s show, with a brief 2 song diversion of holiday tracks at the halfway of the first hour. All the main theme songs are longer and breathe well with a shared depth field that had me really enjoying this program. Zip away, and walk the space within.

Electronic 12″/10″/LP-tracks show with an expansive sound. There is a cohesive sound to the chosen tracks till the end of the second hour, when a recently discovered Walter Gibbons reel-to-reel razor edited track (the 10″ in this show) that I LOVE is brought in to close the gates.

An electronic Carl’s living room (vinyl LP tracks played on a real turntable) starts with a Polish artist from the soundtrack to the film Tonight She Comes, moves to Lucrecia Dalt (who I experienced recently at Unsound in Poland and loved), soon moves into African tracks re-edited by several different artists, then goes into Indonesia with Wahono, takes a quick 5 track dip into original underground disco/re-edits, and ends with 2 Ukrainian artists before ending for-real with the appropriately titled ‘Ending’ from the soundtrack to Peter Fonda’s 1971 film The Hired Hand.

Wasn’t exactly what to call this show, so it is tagged as Carl’s living room, international, soul/funk, soundtrack, and electronic. Qualifying as ‘international’ would be Giuliano Sorgini , Trio Balkana and Anni-Frid Lyngstad , ‘soul/funk’ would be Esther Marrow, Curtis Mayfield, Home Boy And The C.O.L., The Prolifics, and Slave, ‘soundtrack’ would be Nico Fidenco and Tangerine Dream, ‘electronic’ would be DYYU∩E, Loveshadow, and MLO & Spacetime Continuum, and Alex Ho. That leaves Miriam Makeba with a Buffalo Springfield cover, Les Baxter And His Orchestra with classic exotica, Smith & Mudd with a contemporary tribute to library music, Scream And Dance with post-punk, and Michael James Pollard, a one-off 7″-only discovery from the 80s.

Carl’s living room series in an electronic show that covers several eras and locales. All vinyl played in real time. Several tracks from the early 00’s (AIR, Zoot Woman, Yoko Mono, Rick Wade) mix with current re-edits (A.L-T., Loose Joints, Dionne Warwick, Marc Roberts), re-discoveries from the past (Angel’o, Carol Williams, Saâda Bonaire, Monoton, Ultravox, Ambient Warrior), and finally a brand new track from A Certain Ratio. All woven together comfortably. Be sure to play A.L-T., A Certain Ratio, the Loose Joints re-edit, The Unknown track from DB12 006, the Dionne Warwick re-edit and the Marc Roberts track.
