A bonus big up to the Slayd5000 YouTube channel. If I’m stuck somewhere with only my phone and as the kids say “it’s my turn with the aux cord” this dude has amassed a giant hoard of perfectly recorded 12” rips.

Certain records are evocative of certain places. I had a tiny apartment in a not so well maintained building in the West Village, but the ROOF! The roof was palatial, magnificent, extraordinary, an unbeatable view of downtown. At the time my friend had a boom box with a record player in it and on a fine July day we went up to the roof and rolled up a joint and blasted this as we baked in the solar glow of Manhattan and momentarily I had not a care in the world-
