In a basement full of 99 cent records with the Godfather of American Techno

Most of my new East Coast friends laugh at me, but it is a bit strange to me that I am getting to meet and befriend some of the DJs I used to idolize when I first started trying to DJ. These were the producers that I bought records from when I started playing.

Imagine my delight when my new friend Suzannah decided to meet up with her old friend Frankie Bones. That's right, "the pioneer of the American rave scene, from the Brooklyn underground." If you don't know who he is, just google his name. He started raves in the US and played and produced internationally. He took us record shopping at Repo Records on South Street where he dove into these boxes and crates of used records in the bargain basement. We only had 10 minutes until the place closed, and all I gotta say is this man knows what he's talking about. Even with the time constraint, he was pulling out all sorts of gems and handing some to me saying I "needed" them. Who was I to argue, this man has knowledge about these things, and he knows what i like, and they were only 99 cents anyway, so...

I came out with two rare Nigel records I didn't have. (I just need two now...) He also handed me a few I had never even heard of and they came out to be old classic techno songs I had heard before... I really can't think of a better man to go record shopping with. What fun.

I must add that Suzannah was a very fun girl to hang out with as well. It was her birthday and we went record and clothes shopping all over the city.
