Based on all the 10/20% off purchasers alone I think they're doing just fine.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 00:48 (seventeen years ago) link
The amount of Six Degrees label stuff still on sale is mindboggling. I have a feeling if I'm even vaguely interested I can get it all for 90% off.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 06:48 (seventeen years ago) link
I almost think that the fact that there's so much of it will make people think, "This must not be very good." I do want those Zuco 103 CDs.

Ha, while I was in the store tonight I was thinking, "Does Tower own Six Degrees or something?" I want to go back for some of that later. Hopefully not everyone else will do the same thing before I get to it.

hey ahgf, i picked up el juicio recently, too. sounds good after one spin. i saw that you pimped it regulary on olde ilm, so i've got high hopes for it. have you heard that cruz/colon album at all?

It's the same down here and on the one hand I *don't get it* -- and on the other hand, this is going to make my eventual purchases of it all all the sweeter.

(I don't know why but this temporary board makes me want to change names.)
This Pete Rodriguez is pretty good so far, very boogaloo and Latin soul oriented. Two of these songs had hit remakes in the last decade or so (Tito Nieves's version of "I Like It Like That" and Sonora Carruseles's "Micaela," the latter of which I hated for a few years, especially since it was so ubiquitous, at least in certain circles, but was ultimately won over by).

Boris, PinkThe Knife, Silent ShoutAretha Franklin, I Never Loved a Man...Mogwai, Mr. BeastThis one random Acid Mothers Temple album (that, happily, I don't have yet).
AHGF, remind me again the name of the one fellow you were broken up about who died earlier this year, Cuban percussionist I think? I think I saw copies of that one solo album of his around, might snag it next time I'm there.

there were about 10 copies of this at my tower, plus some more under the racks. not the breakout hit they had anticipated.

ned, which days are you in seattle? was there a fap planned?
re the six degrees stuff, what's good on that label beside bebel gilberto? the tower by me mostly has latin travels comps, which my natural instinct is to avoid, but maybe they're awesome. what about celso fonseca or that suba tribute comp? others? etc?

Evening of the 14th thru morning of the 17th. Keep an eye on ILE for any FAP talk but actually myspace might be handier for talk on that -- send me an invite if you're on (along with a message saying who you are if that isn't clear). 16th is probably when something bigger might happen depending.

i have an exam the morning of sat the 16, and then my dad is going to be in town after that. i'll see what happens.
