My digging rules 1) Nudity on the cover means it's going to be good 2) Drums on the cover, another good sign 3) Look for thin grooves in the middle of songs (drum break!) 4) Hit that dark basement with the cheap records

I'm 45 and i remember It' was amazing the amount of equipment you needed back in the day. Just to even buy a bare bones MPC cost like $4,000 dollars. Now in 2024, in a click of a button every processor ever made is at my disposal, unlimited tracks and memory. Crazy right? You was lucky if you could afford a 8mg simm chip. No need for buying records and taking up space. It's all on a 6 TB SSD. Weeeeewho...No need for a huge mixing board again burning up the light bill. All I have at home is a laptop, my MPC Key 37 and studio monitors. With a 4 TB SSD full of sounds from everything E-MU ever made since Ensoniq days to Proteus 2000 days. Every module. Plus many more. If all the things I have n ow on hardrives were to be used back in the day as hardware, it would cost over $2 million dollars. Technology is awesome.

I'm 45. I've always kinda been poor. I used to just make tapes of loops bc I had a multi effects bass pedal that could loop like up to like no more than 8 seconds or something. You could overdub n overdub n get crazy layers n textures, n then play over them, but it was nothing big. Id have access to a computer only sometimes, so id end up using fruity loops demo, feeling my heart sink when I got a good grove n the computer froze.... Etc. Yea. Now, I have a decent computer, Akai mpk 249, a K.O. II, an Rz-1... I just need maybe like a lil mixer for the external machines, ya know, maybe buy the new FL studio instead of my pirated version 12, haha, a few vsts, some monitor speakers... Oh. And my bass out of the pawn shop. Lol. Im rambling, but yea. It's almost bittersweet bc I know I would've been blown away by having what I have now back in the day. Eh. It's cool tho. I still get down. It's still work to make something good.

This is so dope. Back in the 90s I was sneaky. I never went record shopping or sampled from vinyl. I got all my samples off the radio. I constantly recorded music off the jazz stations. When I went to school, to work, to a party, when I went to bed. I had my tapes on record. And when I had a moment I went through them and kept the snippets I liked. Thinking back, it was a lot of work. People would always ask where I got my samples, but I'd never tell them. Lol!

Around 84/85 I came across a small shop on 6th. around 25 or so. Not a real record store as such. In a crate there were around a dozen or so albums of M.L.K. speech/hymns of the Washington rally. I bought one for 50 odd cents. Tried to play it over some "dance" tracks, okay but I wasn't skilled enough to pull it off big time. "We hold these truths to be self evident". Oh how I smiled when that beauty hit. My favourite find, I shall noe go and play the "B" side, one of the greatest mass congregation singing out there.
