Back Beat Boogie - Artie Shaw

Why would a group of black dancers from Harlem honor a white pilot from Michigan by naming a dance after him just because? I don't like that article, it doesn't really prove anything, or really make a strong claim to anything. Too nebulous for my taste. I prefer the newspaper story as it gives a lit...

yes Kalman, i am I read on some forum that people did some hardcore research trying to find that paper and came up empty. The one thread of hope that keeps the theory alive is since it was a black dancer that "named" the dance, then it is possible that the paper that he was reading was a b...

can we get a line on this?

when it hits 3:2 put me down for $50

oh, and

That was never confirmed, by the way. There was no newspaper article found in NewYork newpaper archives

i can tell you that most of those women look really freakin scary!

take a break man, take a break. you are too wrapped up in this. wow

ROFL

Sorry ladies, men make better DJ's hands down.


/ducks, 74 CD cases thrown at my head

the problem with having a LocalDJ exchange is that some scenes dont have enough good DJs to fill. Here in LA we have some great DJ's. But if you are billing it as a local DJ event, you might get those shittyer DJ's wanting to play at the event. and there are only so many Sunday afternoon time slots ...

and try to stay away from phrases like:

You suck!

Asshole!

Well, then sir, bite me!


Those will get you into trouble.

Yeah, good idea not doing it at the event. I wouldnt do that even if you are calm. But now since it has passed, feel free. No need to bring in other DJ's, just do it on your own.

Why don't you just talk to them? There is nothing wrong with having a polite conversation with them. Just make sure that you are respectful, and present your side in a polite, pleasing manner.

Don't underestimate the value of a polite interaction with a promoter, or any person for that matter

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere sometime. What was the song that was used for the movie Keep Punchin and who was that band? Was the band who played the song actually the one on stage? or was is dubbed in?
