Thems the breaks ... bad news beat junkies

Hello citizen of the blog-o-sphere ...
 
Its all gone to hell in a handcart, and a new era is about to dawn I reckon.
 
So first off I finally got my knee operation done at last - 3 weeks in the reclining position for me, it was a bit nasty in parts but I am very excited about getting full mobility back. The op was done at Haslar hospital in Gosport - an army hospital which was clean and efficient unlike most of the hospitals you hear about. They tried to take a tendon from my ham string but it snapped and they had to change the plan in the operation, they switched to a section taken off my patella so my right leg was a state both front and back! Anyway the following two weeks were a blaze of heavy seditives and synthetic morphine ... drool ... made me uh? What's it? You know ... er ... forgettful.
Now its a hellish few months of physio and a mad scramble to catch up at work. *gulp*
 
Bad news on the music front unfortunately as Suga Suga has been sold to a new owner and coin op is once again out for the count :( I think I gotta find somewhere more downmarket (ie a venue that serves pints!) and find a new 'vibe' to relight the fire as it were. I guess this really is game over for the opage.
 
Music and games have been the flavour of the month and I am digging Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney on the DS as well as Prey and Oblivion on the 360 - I tried out Forbidden Siren on PS2 but the controls were unforgivable and I couldnt be bothered anymore. Music wise I got the new SOnic youth LP 'Rather Ripped' which ok but a bit lightwieght for the yoof. Lambchop 'Damage' which is mellow gold and TV on the Radio which is really interesting stuff akin to funkadelic and my bloody valentine spliced together - tis odd but really good.
 
So Ill sign off with some gratuitous knee pics ew!

This Friday ...

Back once again after a slight pause in the proceedings Suga Suga is once again hosting a night of classic house and underground electronic music from 6 till 12 this Friday night.

As usual happy hour runs till 8pm and a Sony discount at the bar is mandatory all night long! Join us for cocktails (they do jugs too now), beers and fine wine this friday and kick off the weekend in style.

On the turntables we have ...

Eops (Coin op, Hands Free Recordings)
Code 303 (Coin op cohort and designer type aka: James Lane)

We shall dispense with the funk this week in order to concentrate on building a deep house groove from the start ...

In the bag this week ...
Some classic old school house from Carl Craig, Kerri Chandelier, Reese, R&S records, Trax, and Mid Town. PLUS the best of the new school artist including Kruger and Dorfmeisters Voom Voom house project (which is unbelievably good), Surkin "Radio Fireworks", Gui Boratto "Beluga", James Flavour "Da Ride" (new on Dirt Crew), Kirk (4Hero) Degiorgio "Starwave EP", the filthy Justice "Waters of Nazerath" EP, Alessandro Crimi "Cloud Seven", Ben Burns "The Answer" > (BIG SUMMER TUNE!), Jamm 2006, tracks from the new Underground Resistence LP, more Switch madness inc. Coldcut Remixes, Chris Carrier, and more from Shur-I-Khan and friends ... come down and listen its much cheaper than buying this lot I assure you!!!

Nice up the dance ... with a big sound about you!
