dear ms. levitsky: although not disco by any imagining, it would surely complete my day today if i could hear "dharma lady" by geronimo jackson on wfmu today! if this suggestion inspires catatonia or revulsion please cheerfully ignore, thanks! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:06pm
numbatwombat:
i am in general agreement that the best kind of disco is the kind that induces sugar coma and/or deadhead-style hand tracery. | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:08pm
BSI:
numbat: for me, that honor will always be held by GET UP AND BOOGIE by Silver Convention..... | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:09pm
BSI:
holy crap, Silver Convention came up as I was typing that one. | |

personal disco qualifier: could robots do the bump to it on buck rogers^21 cent./schxoid birdman? if so, let ai love flow unimpeded throughout the land! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:14pm
numbatwombat:
disco conflict resolution via peace pipe is preferable to robots which do not dance but drop ordnance on stans. | |
|

Nat:
Chanson: disco rebellion against repression. | |

|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:38pm
BSI:
I know it's not exactly obscure, but me love some BOOGIE WONDERLAND by Earth Wind & Fire... probably because I think it came out same year as the movie PROPHECY, so I associate that song with seeing campers being ripped to shreds by a large mutant bear... | |
|

I am catching the fever!!! | |

LizGig:
Speaking of fevers, what _did_ everyone think of the Jane Austen zombie mashup? Our shop thought there wasn't enough zombie action. And I second the Boogie Wonderland request. Hi Maria! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:41pm
numbatwombat:
BSI - word up to prophecy! one of my favorite eco-nightmare films of the seventies! talia shire just rocks in that movie! see what unsustainable mining practices will get you! ripped open by an inside-out bear! maria - could you totally play me some love unlimited orchestra off of the rise album? malfunctioning bug zapper tropicalia sounds help robots get swerve on! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:43pm
patrick:
am i crazy or is this all you want to listen to sometimes?!? | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:44pm

LOVE!!! CERRONE!!! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 12:54pm
numbatwombat:
how can disco be even better? when it is part of a sci/fi foldout narrative concept album! hell yes! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:02pm
numbatwombat:
BSI - this week in my netflix queue i just happen to have the manitou (1978) which is a canadian native american sploitation/spirit possession flick w/ tony curtis. not as good as prophecy but def. cheese-tastic. the book by graham masterton is probably better but sadly i never read it. | |

Stannerlee:
Ultimate disco toon - must be I feel Love by Donna Summer. All together now... dumdigadumdigadumdigadum...... | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:15pm
numbatwombat:
i feel love is indeed the apex of summer/moroder bliss. the longer the mix the better. | |

jeremy the listener:
thanks maria for this disco. i've been on a disco buzz recently and this is a great show | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:25pm
BSI:
numbatwombat: thanks for the lead on more great '70s film cheez. I think Manitou has been on my list for ages, sounds insanely familiar. .. but gotta dig out my copy of Prophecy now. .. Lots of associations between disco & '70s films in my brain. SCANNERS and SATURN 3 do the same thing... | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:29pm
numbatwombat:
those are both most excellent flix!!! howard shore electronics on the early cronenberg scores are just so good!!! kietel as the hornet in the douglas/fawcett orbital love nest is worthy of some dystopic disco anthemz! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:38pm
texas scott:

|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:45pm

|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:45pm
numbatwombat:
dear maria: does wfmu have the new patrick cowley anthology yet? either way if you could play a track off of that or his mind warp lp that would be so neat! i feel love for the disco show! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:45pm
Tamar:
I am feeling this discorama! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:47pm
Nat:
The Sister Sledge ("Lost in music/caught in a trap") and Heat Wave ("Gotta keep dancin/keep on dancin''") songs are kind of uncanny...like they're being held hostage by disco. | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:48pm
Looms:
Hi Maria! Speaking of samples, this track by DS was reworked (tortured could be a more relevant term) by Barom One on a delicious split lp with Brezel Göring on Gagarin Records. | |

*blinks vigorously for strobe simulation* Patrick: this playlist + that special dance floor at Bubba's. Now, THAAAAT's a boithdee! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:49pm
numbatwombat:
nat - i was thinking the same thing re: the sister sledge! like a vortex of disco! the niles rodgers remix was insane! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:50pm
numbatwombat:
disco is awesome cause it facilitates that hypnotic trance pull (among other things! | |
|
Wed. 2/3/10 1:52pm

|
Wed. 2/3/10 2:38pm
