Anyone know if they are going to release the remastered 40th Stop Making Sense on DVD/Bluray? Didn’t see it at Cinema, would love a decent copy.

I’m glad they mentioned the influence of Klein and MBO Dirty Talk and Sylvester. I remember posting about the Sylvester influence on YouTube and someone replied “That’s absolute nonsense” and I replied with the fact that both Bernard and Hooky had gone on record and said they were trying to do the same thing.
He came back with "Total BS, Blue Monday has nothing to do with You make me feel mighty real’.
So I found the passage via Google in Hooky’s book where he says exactly that and posted it.
Arguing on the Internet is a total waste of time but sometimes it needs to be done

Did anyone experience Frankie on the Discogs forums in the noughties?
Edit: This is uber interesting. First time i’ve seen Frankie. He’s so nerdy and awkward but he used to come off as really really cocky on Discogs. Always ruffling feathers, me included. I can’t deny his background and knowledge of dance music, this man was THERE but he used come off like he invented dance music sometimes when most of his music was just HEAVY sampling and copying of concepts.

Yeah, total wall of sound that! Visceral! Almost AC/DC or Black Sabbath really. Small Faces on steroids!

id be well into that if I saw it now… timeless rock n roll.
Blues Explosion were like that early on . hard n pure.
That effect on the vocals is well smart too… that doubling up thing like Suzie Quattro did
All adds to the wall of sound.

Yeah, that was a nice slice of NYC dance music history.
This made me think… there is so much amazing dance music history dotted around out there, can we make a thread with all the best articles, features, interviews and videos?

yes - he was extremely online in an early discogs forum sort of way.
and in my experience, he’s like that in person too - for me it was always in context of the record store or hanging out with promoters before shows. way funny and waaaaay noo yawk citay.
speaking of the horrors of the early discogs forums - anyone else remember the social car crash or possibly performance art that was dj alex something-or-other (his used his real name, seemed to me that it began with a ‘t’). hadn’t thought about him in forever and then all of a sudden the other day i was like “oh yeah, THAT guy”.
he was either just fantastic trolling or maybe sincerely mentally ill. either way, it was a lot, and the sort of weird sad thing was that he was actually a pretty good dj - i listened to a couple of his mixes and they were not crap!
