Evening at the Manhattan Beach Open

Long exposure on a full moon shows the deserted courts set up for the AVP Manhattan Beach Open. The Manhattan Beach Pier is lit up behind.

Blast From The Past

Munich DJ Florian Keller recently put out a compilation disc of dance tracks on the well-respected German label Compost Records.

Included is my track of Scratchin' 100 Speakers, a session I did in 1984 with Dr. Dre and Unknown -- well, they were both unknown then ;-)

I played DMX drum machine and Oberheim keyboards on the track -- everything except the scratching actually. This Compost Records link has info and a small sample to listen to.

I didn't pay much attention to the track at the time, but it has taken on a life of it's own, and has become quite popular in Germany.

Ska Shank Redemption@The Knitting Factory


My son's band, Ska Shank Redemption played one of their best shows this evening. Great sound on the main stage of Hollywood's Knitting Factory, and a changing of the guard at the trumpet position as Dylan Caponi (center) goes on to college at Cal and "the kid" Luke takes his place.
