Thanks for all the support over the past 2 years, but The Get Down, as we know it, has officially finished @ Dirty Secrets. I'll still be droppin sets down that way every week or so, but ownership has decided that a branding is not something they need on Saturday nights anymore. Really, thanks to those that have made it down on Saturdays and still feel free to come in and say hello. The funk lives through you. PEACE!!!

Man, I didn't know I was supposed to call you. Been home all day doin barely nuthin. Went bowlin this morning. Just went out back and blew the dust off some classic dnb, well, classic for me. Much, much fun. We gotta do Prime Mover again, just so I can play an "ol skool" set.Direktor wrote:When you gonna call me back big fella?
I feel saddened and distressed.
Shit, am I in a public forum right now?
Since Lob's not here for a while, I'll be talking to myself as I bu...er, I mean, discuss music at this here night. So...
It was packed again. Obviously, with people that dont frequent this forum.
Also, it was soooo cool being in a smoke free environment. Anyone else really enjoying not smelling like a stinky ashtray when they go out? I actually just jumped into bed when I got home and didn't need to take a shower first. It was ace!
SMOKE FREE CLUBS RULE!!!

In other music related news that is associated with this night by way of the ol skool Black Eyes Peas I like to play...
Fergie Denies Product Placement Deal
by Andrew Tijs - July 9 2007
Black Eyed Peas banshee Fergie denies her label's claims that she will plug a clothing brand in new songs.
The UK's Sunday Times reported that Fergie will become the first star to officially promote products in her lyrics for a fee. She is already associated with clothing company Candie's, appearing in commercials and letting the company set up shop at her shows. But they claim that a £2 million deal is in place for her to mention the brand in her lyrics.
The newspaper quoted an Interscope executive saying "With record sales in decline, you must find novel ways to make money out of the music. The trick is to make the brand part of the song so that it slips down easily rather than chokes the fan."
Fergie has strenuously denied her own record company's claim. A spokesperson for the singer announced, "She does have a commercial deal with the clothing brand Candie's, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the creation of her music."
Fergie will surely bounce back from this sullying of her artistic integrity, possibly by writing a song about it.
This last line says it all, doesn't it. I mean, Fergie and artistic integrity go together like the clap and Mother Theresa. Also, I bet the song she writes about it will contain a reference to Pepsi, Starbucks and/or the new Will Smith movie.

Are the oldies going to be our support base in the future? Will Nat King Cole be the "new" dance floor mezziah. Hmmm...
Boomers find way to their music

First the standards vanished from radio, as stations that played lots of Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald went dark. Then over the past couple of years, the oldies format collapsed, and suddenly the sounds of Motown, Elvis and the Beach Boys were hard to find on the radio.
Now, even classic rock stations are starting to feel the pressure, as commercial radio strains to find ways to connect with younger listeners who find most of their music online.
But while big radio and TV companies join with the advertising industry in chasing after the 18-to-34-year-old crowd, the music that appeals to pop culture's increasingly forgotten demographic - the boomers - is starting to appear in all sorts of odd places. advertisement
Paul McCartney put his new album up for sale at Starbucks. James Taylor launched his latest CD in Hallmark shops. Sirius satellite radio cut a deal with Nancy Sinatra and retooled its standards channel as "Siriusly Sinatra."
XM satellite radio responded by bringing on board Deana Martin, daughter of Dean, to host a program of Vegas Rat Pack hits on the service's '50s channel.
Now, AARP - the organization whose membership invitations deliver a shock of "You're old!" to boomers the moment they turn 50 - is turning into a radio programmer and concert promoter, sponsoring a Tony Bennett national tour, shows with Rod Stewart and Earth, Wind and Fire, and a radio service designed to do what commercial radio won't: Recognize that the fastest-growing market for the music industry is people 45 and older.
"We're not done writing our soundtrack yet," says Emilio Pardo, chief brand officer at AARP headquarters in Washington. "Our membership - the boomers - are looking for options. We're at a stage where we want to experience new music and share our music with our kids and grandkids."
Unlike teenagers, who are more likely to download music, often illegally, boomers still buy lots of CDs. At Amazon.com, the five best-selling artists in the online merchant's history are the Beatles, U2, Norah Jones, Johnny Cash and Diana Krall. The top five sellers last year included Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Andrea Bocelli - all staples of the boomer crowd.
AARP is eager to hook into the boomers' passion for music to establish itself as something more than a lobby for the Geritol generation.
"We're constantly barraged by talk of the prime demographic of 18-to-34-year-olds, and it's like nobody else matters," says Steve Mencher, senior producer of digital media for AARP.
Mencher, who earlier in his career worked at National Public Radio, creates programming to challenge the assumption in American business that only teens and 20-somethings are still discovering new passions and are still open to new brand loyalties.
So AARP produces daily radio features on "Music for Grownups" - a recent show included a Nashville funk band called the Dynamites, a Nordic jazz trio, blues singer Marva Wright and the inevitable Frankie Valli.
There's also a talk show called "Movies for Grownups," which consists of features and reviews about flicks of interest to people 50 and older.
"Despite Hollywood's infatuation with youth, half of movie tickets are bought by people over 30," says the show's Web site. The show - which can be heard online at radioprimetime.org, or on many public stations (which receive the programs without charge) - has recently included features on Robert Duvall, John Wayne, Ozzie and Harriet and the old Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman TV soap.
Meanwhile, back on commercial radio, industry analyst Sean Ross says he's seeing tentative signs of rebirth for oldies.
Even as the format is dropped in some cities, there's some evidence that the growing desperation over the young generation's turn from broadcast radio is prompting some companies to look anew at oldies.
In Minneapolis, a rock station switched over to a "Greatest Songs of All Time" format, playing Bobby Darin, the Supremes, the Mamas and the Papas and the Temptations.
And ratings for surviving oldies stations on Long Island, N.Y., and in cities such as Chicago and Dallas have suddenly surged.
"If you're a serious '50s or '60s fan," Ross says, "you're probably going to be happier with what you find through streaming or on satellite radio.
"But it's still good news for a format that broadcasters might have banished entirely this year."
