So a couple years back I got way too into DJ Screw. Not enough that I've faked chest pneumonia to get codeine cough syrup prescriptions (because I don't have insurance), but enough so that I've listened to far too much shit slowed down. The obvious eventual excursion was to start playing shit I had on the turntables as slow as the pitch modulator would go (even breaking one trying to open it up and slow the direct drive engine down enough to make it lay back even more; I can bleed the brakes of a car, but I cannot slow down a direct drive turntable without destroying it, that is obvious). The result has been marvelous, as most Screw tapes are west coast or southern shit, usually gangstafied, being warped back; however, I have found in my stupid aural experiences, there's lots of old boom bap era shit that sounds MOTHERFUCKIN' PERFECT slowed down. Especially Mad Lion.
So anyways, I took 100 12-inch singles I got laying around the compound, and did the same process of elimination crap I did with the rap tapes I had laying around, and came up with a countdown list. Actually, I'm still doing that shit, but I can count the eliminated shit out before I get done. And plus this is the internet, so none of this is real anyways. We're like Tron, but without helmets and neon lights, which seems like a rip-off to me.
So I'll be making the countdown like I'm Casey Kasem, feet on the ground and all that bullshit.
