Egg Foo Young VS. Michna
Seems like the whole crew is on there way to stardom and no one deserves it more than my man Egg Foo Young. Feels like just yesterday he was sitting next to me in the warehouse doing a short term stint in the Lab's customer service department. Pete would constantly yell things at us from the executive office like "are you guys doing ANY work?" or "it can't be THAT funny!" (For the record we were doing all the work and it was THAT funny).
Flash forward to today and I'm getting emails announcing that MICHNA (some A&R convinced him the Chinese food thing wasn't working) has signed to Ghostly International and has the first track on their new Ghostly Swim project (even beating out Dabrye).
Like all of Michna's shit I love this track Triple Chrome Dipped. You can hear the whole album here and even download it for free for a limited time.
Even better perhaps is the video they made for Michna's track. Great Job!
Were proud of you Double Pack...
Stay tuned for updates on the Ghostly Swim tour, including a stop at the Lab in LA on Saturday May 17th.
Now for some classic footage of someone getting "MICHNA'D." I hope you got a refund buddy...

My First 1200 - Monk
what was your first turntable / setup?
First? Well there was this lil' suitcase-type thing I had as a kid that came with a bunch of picture books and 45s. You'd put the single on and read the book, turn the page when you heard the 'bing!' Then in high school I had one of those all-in-one joints (tape deck, radio, record player) that I took the top off and tried to cut records on. Didn't know about slipmats. I still have my "Top Billin" 12-inch with nasty circular gouges on the flip-side.
My first "real" turntable was this audiophile Denon joint that weighed like 50 pounds. I bought it from my dad's friend. That thing was amazing, the first deck I could really scratch on. I remember bringing the ultra high-end needle in to Bate's electronics on Delancey to replace (after tearing it to shreds) and the guy looking at me in horror like "you're not actually back-cuing with this are you?"
at what point did you get your first technics turntable(s)?
Probably '93 or so. That was when I started getting a little more serious about spinning. For the longest I had that Denon on one side and the Tech on the other with a little Gemini 2-channel mixer in the middle.
did you get the 1200(s) from a store? how did you get the money to pay for the 1200(s)?
I got it on Canal Street somewhere. I worked as a cook.
how did you feel when you got your first technics turntable(s)?
Like fuckin' Kid Capri.
what is your favorite feature or aspect of the technics turntable?
The pitch control - when you learn on that, nothing else feels right. Oh and I always loved the dense rubber lower half. Solid.
