J Dilla's Vinyl

If the news is confirmed by official sources would be as sensational as outrageous: According to The Detroit News website, the record store of the American metropolis would UHF for sale as used about 8000 LPs belonged to J Dilla, the great producer and rapper who has revolutionized the hip-hop before he died prematurely six years ago. According to the store owner Jeff Bubeck, vinyls coming from an abandoned warehouse in the suburb of Clinton Township, where they were, according to Bubeck, including cassette tapes labeled "Jaydee Beats", a nickname used by Dilla, as well as correspondence addressed James Yancey, anagrafe name of the musician struck down by lupus.


Let's go back to say it would be sensational news if confirmed, because the collectors of Dilla is documented, but also scandalous because it is not clear how did the transition between this abandoned warehouse and a shop that sells used records, and given the uniqueness of the character which they belonged would have been more commendable them available to the public without take money. To be sure, Bubeck said he had sought contact with the mother of Dilla, but every attempt went in vain. After this news, should have no problems.

Happy Saturday!

Saturday Night Fever is a 1977 drama film directed by John Badham and starring John Travolta as Tony Manero, an immature young man whose weekends are spent visiting a local Brooklyn discothèque; Karen Lynn Gorney as his dance partner and eventual friend; and Donna Pescow as Tony's former dance partner and would-be girlfriend. While in the disco, Tony is the king. His care-free youth and weekend dancing help him to temporarily forget the reality of his life: a dead end job, clashes with his unsupportive and squabbling parents, racial tensions in the local community, and his associations with a gang of macho friends.

A huge commercial success, the film significantly helped to popularize disco music around the world and made Travolta, already well known from his role on TV's Welcome Back, Kotter, a household name. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, featuring disco songs by the Bee Gees, is one of the best selling soundtracks of all time. The film is the first example of cross-media marketing, with the tie-in soundtrack's single being used to help promote the film before its release and the film popularizing the entire soundtrack after its release. The film also showcased aspects of the music, the dancing, and the subculture surrounding the disco era: symphony-orchestrated melodies, haute-couture styles of clothing, pre-AIDS sexual promiscuity, and graceful choreography.

The story is based upon a 1976 New York magazine article by British writer Nik Cohn, "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night". In the late 1990s, Cohn acknowledged that the article had been fabricated. A newcomer to the United States and a stranger to the disco lifestyle, Cohn was unable to make any sense of the subculture he had been assigned to write about; instead, the character who became Tony Manero was based on a Mod acquaintance of Cohn's.

The White Stripes

The White Stripes was an American rock band, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The group consisted of the songwriter Jack White (vocals, guitar, and keyboards) and drummer Meg White (drums and occasional vocals). Jack and Meg White were previously married to each other, but are now divorced. After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit music scene, the White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the garage rock revival scene.

Their successful and critically acclaimed albums White Blood Cells and Elephant drew them attention from a large variety of media outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The White Stripes used a low-fidelity, do-it-yourself approach to writing and recording. Their music featured a melding of punk rock and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The duo was also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which featured a simple color scheme of red, white, and black as well as the band's obsession with the number three.

The band's discography consists of six studio albums, one live album, two extended plays (EP), one concert film, one tour documentary, twenty-six singles, and fourteen music videos.
