Love On The Run’s “Love Chant” returns to the basement of Von this Saturday with special guests Monk-One and Red Greg. We had a blast at the first party back in January and I can say without a doubt that you don’t want to miss out on this one. Monk-One was on A Downtown Affair last Friday and we have Red Greg coming in tomorrow night! Check out the full post over at Secret Rendezvous.

Time for FineLine. I’ll be going the distance solo this month.

Picked up some good 45s on Record Store Day this past weekend, and will definitely be spinning some gems that I discovered when filling in for Small Change a few weeks ago.
Come through on Saturday and have a beer!

… and keep your ears tuned for this one:

Hey y’all, a little last minute heads up – FineLine in effect tomorrow night!

Last month was our most successful FineLine yet, so many thanks to all you that came out and thanks for drinking! There was a posse of 90s DJs in the main room that I didn’t know, but their people were feeling the disco vibe in front, getting their drink on hard until their preferred dude came on in back – real late. The room finally cleared around 2:45 and everyone went into the back for their final 45 minutes of heavy jungle, while Ghostdad and I played the guilty pleasure joints, juggled some doubles, and he gave me a quick tutorial on the built in effects on the mixer(ixer… ixer… ixer… ixer……).

Needless to say had a fun time, so I invited him back for one mo’ gin. He’s dragging another crate of classics down 93 from Boston as part of his protracted relocation.

Right in time for this spate of nice weather, I finally got my hands on a copy of Verticle Lines – Beach Boy, an awesome cruiser of a weirdo summer jam and the first ever release on Tuff City. Here’s a preview til I drop the needle on the genuine article at the Knit! – B4$

Tonight we have our first ever Camp Debonair! Mike, Stegs and myself have been itching to play together for quite some time and we’re excited to be sequestered in the back room of Tandem for such an occasion. We’ll be packing heavy in preparation for a lengthy stay. Now. Let the fun begin. Have some coke and gin!

Last night was staff orientation. The ropes course team & trust building exercises were followed by a counselor only dance. Stegs started off with a set of even-keeled boogie. Mike and I step in with an hour to go, but that just wasn’t enough, so we’ve got a special late set for your enjoyment.

Coming up next weekend is the latest edition of Fineline at The Knitting Factory.

Joining me this month is DJ Ghostdad – NJ native, Boston affiliate, choice selector. He’s between cities right now but promised to load up a crate of goods to bring back this way on his next return trip. Check him out on Fully Fitted for a taste of the diverse content he’s gonna provide. Call the party line (1-800-988-7361) for info on his new First Fridays at Coco 66 (with XXXchange), or hit the archives if you can’t wait for the weekend to get loose.

See you next Saturday.

Tomorrow night we’re back for another evening at Le Poisson Rouge. It’s been quite a while since we all last played together, so you can expect a bunch of new tunes. We’ve also invited Steve Shakewell and Patrick Duckcomb of Sharegroove for a special guest set! Check out their appearance on A Downtown Affair for an idea of what’s in store.

As always it’s free, but to further sweeten the deal, we’ll be diving into some cake on the early side of the evening in celebration of my birthday.

Check his hustle!

Hey y’all – tomorrow night is the January edition of FineLine!

I’m pleased as punch to be joined by fellow LGS founder Mike McGill in The Kontrol Room. Should be a real smooth-type gathering – even the weather gods have granted us some karma after last month’s snowed-in fireside affair. Mike is “dusting off his r&b records” which is great to hear.

Its free as always! Come through and tell us about your big 2010 plans over a beer, while serenaded by tasteful tracks! Invite yourself on Facebook if you’re so inclined.
