Whoops, I saw that too late. From now on you must say "please" to receive the glory that is my research

OK From www.undagroundarchives.com: 5-Questions with… Taha Elroubi One look around a packed underground club and it's clear that our community is made up of many different types of people, from many different places. For this version of 5-Q's we sought out one of the more foreign of them all in D.C.-based label owner, Producer/DJ/promoter, Taha Elroubi. His musical journey flows from his childhood in North Africa, to English radio show exposure during his teens, to his current Southern roots buried deep in the nation's capital. To be clear about how sincere and profound his musical esthetic really is, he's even been adopted by traditionally tribal NY labels Ibadan and Wave, where his tracks have been signed and included in these celebrated catalogs. Here he dishes about his influences and record shopping in Chocolate City… 1. You're an old guy and you're foreign… tell us where you're from and how you got into dance music? I, Taha Elroubi (one half of T.Kolai /A&R and also a partner in Vinylicious Recordings) was born in Germany in 1965 to a Sudanese father and Persian mother. I was introduced to the world of soul, funk, reggae and African sounds from a record collection that my father bought for me at the age of 13, while living in Sudan. Through that collection I was introduced to the likes of Weather Report, Grover Washington Jr., The Temptations, The Jackson Five, Bob Marley, Shirley Bassey, Stevie Wonder, Brass Construction, Earth, Wind & Fire and the list continues… By age 15, I moved to Cairo to attend the American School in Ma'adi and would then travel to London every summer where I spent a couple of months visiting with my family. During this period I started to discover the underground sound by listening to the various pirate stations and Capitol Radio. I then started hitting record stores such as Blue Bird Records, Record Shack in Soho, Unity Records, Flying Records in Kensington, Catch A Groove - now it's Chillifunk's home base, Black Market and Vinyl Solution @ Portabello Market. In 1985 I moved to the United States to attend the American University in Washington D.C. It was then I decided to get a couple of SL1200's and try to express my vibe. My first true mentor was and still is, DJ Mandrill. I would often go and listen to him or Sam 'The Man" Burns and on occasional weekends I would travel to NYC to hear Timmy @ The Shelter or just listen to [Tony] Humphries on the radio. 2. How long have you had Vinylicious Recordings and what are some of your biggest songs? TE: We have had Vinylicious Recordings for three years now. I run the label, but I have other partners - Karim M. Karim S., Khaled & Nicolas. So far we have released twelve singles and two CD compilations. In my mind they are all good songs because our policy is to put out what we feel is a great record… no release schedules or any of that. It is better not to put out anything at all for a while, than to release records just for the sake of being out there. I strongly urge everyone who is reading this to go and look up any of our Vinylicious Records and if you can't find them, hit me with an email: taha@vinylicious.com. 3. You run one of the best rooms in D.C. at Andalú , how long has that been going and what's been your formula for success? TE: Andalú has been running strong for three years now. It's a beautiful spot that holds up to 200 people and the secret to our success is the following: 1. We are always courteous to our guests; 2. We make sure the music is always dope - so we are very selective on who we invite to play at the club; 3. We always make sure that the club is clean and the service is up to a high standard. Last but not least, the sound system has to be TIGHT, otherwise there will be no VIBE... 4. Fresh from your second 'week-long' WMC Hotel Astor Series with Yellow Productions, tell us how you guys hooked up to produce the event originally? Also, why did you create the after-hours at Bambú and program the DJs that you did? TE: We initially hooked up with Yellow Productions through Pierre from Deep Touch records in Miami. He approached my partner Karim (owner of Hotel Astor in South Beach) about doing a poolside party together with Yellow and Vinylicious. After a couple of meetings, we came up with the concept and proceeded. The second time around, Deep Touch opted to do it's own thing especially since the Vinylicious & Yellow vibe was more fitting with each other. We then decided to do a special party for our friends and sought to book some of the best underground DJs to play for all of 'us' - the headz. The party at Bambú was designed to be a non-industry environment where we can all chill and listen to some of our friends play some deep, educational sets. Some of these DJ's were MKL, Jemal C, Onsunlade, Dennis Perez, Stevie G, Alex from Tokyo & DJ Yellow. 5. Recently the retail pioneer Wresch Dawidjan sold his legendary retail store 12" Dance. How do you feel about that situation (the new owners, outlook and historical perspective) and dance music shopping in D.C. overall now that Yoshi Toshi owners Deep Dish, are also Grammy ® winners? TE: I miss 12" Dance because it was the place where I bought some of my first underground classics and also the place where I met so many good people. Fortunately the tradition continues thanks to James Graham, Chris and Niv who are now the owners of DJ HUT (12' Dance previously). They are doing an excellent job because the store covers so many music genres and all the good stuff too because the three owners are well versed in the music. Apart from having DJ HUT we also have Yoshi Toshi, Deep Dish's record store which provides us with good music, [and though] the style leans more toward progressive, deep tech house and drum & bass, you will still find some good house but the over all vibe is strong on imports. The last addition to D.C's record stores is Rhythm & Culture, which is owned by Thaneeya Pakdee (Aou) and Farid Ali. The store is very clean, has a cutting edge design, excellent listening posts and the music selection is very limited - but FIRST CLASS. It is the kind of store where you go in, pick out ten records to listen to and you will probably walk out with at least eight of them. My kind of place because I don't want to waste my time listening to 30 records and buying three.

Alternatively: 3/4 oz. gin 3/4 oz. vodka 3/4 oz. triple sec 3/4 oz. white rum 1 1/2 oz. sweet and sour mix splash of coke lemon wheel or wedge Combine gin, vodka, triple sec, rum, sweet and sour mix and coke in a mixing glass filled with ice. Shake or stir. Pour into a highball glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel or wedge.

Long Island Ice Tea - the champion of multi-liquor drinks! 1/2 ounce Vodka 1/2 ounce Gin 1/2 ounce White Rum 1/2 ounce Cointreau 1 ounce Lemon Juice Top with Cola Build all ingredients in an ice tea glass, then top with cola and garnish with a lemon wedge. :D

I'd luv to see Alex spin again. . .maybe I can make up for being such a nard when I met him *wince*

Happy New Year everyone! is everyone back at work today?

I wonder if the two events have anything in common. . .

Site offers home delivery of marijuana MONTREAL, Canada --Canadian activists for the medicinal use of marijuana celebrated a court victory on Thursday by launching an Internet site offering home delivery of cannabis for seriously ill people. Saying it would even offer tax deductions for orders, the Marijuana Party Foundation took the unprecedented step after Quebec Superior Court Judge Gilles Cadieux stopped the drug-trafficking trial of two volunteers from Compassion Club of Montreal, a group that provides marijuana for medicinal purposes. In his long-awaited decision, Judge Cadieux agreed that the pair, Marc-Boris St-Maurice, 33, and Alexandre Neron, 22, had planned to sell marijuana when they were arrested almost three years ago. But the judge noted that it was unconstitutional to deny patients access to the drug. Judge Cadieux said he did not have the authority to rule on the constitutionality of Canada's marijuana laws. Prosecutors did not indicate whether they would appeal his decision. Earlier this month, a parliamentary committee urged the Canadian government to relax its laws on possession of marijuana. The committee on the nonmedical use of drugs said marijuana should be decriminalized, but not legalized, an idea U.S. drug control officials quickly condemned. Elated by Judge Cadieux's decision, St-Maurice hailed it as both a moral and legal victory. The Marijuana Party Foundation, operated by the federally chartered Marijuana Party, reacted to the ruling by immediately launching a Web site offering to dispense therapeutic cannabis. The Web site, www.marijuanahomedelivery.ca, offers two formats of "highest quality therapeutic cannabis" with a THC content of 8 percent or more. A two-gram package sells for $30 Canadian ($19) while Internet surfers can order a 10 gram shipment for $120 Canadian. "You are not contributing to organized crime. All revenues raised from our service go to advance efforts to end cannabis prohibition," the organization promises on its Web site. Those wishing to order marijuana via the site must be Canadian citizens residing in Canada, 18 years of age, and provide a doctor's diagnosis of an illness known to be treatable or alleviated through the use of cannabis. "It's an online Compassion Club to serve all Canadians who would have a need for medical marijuana," St-Maurice said. Canadian law allows access to medical marijuana for a certain patients. Canada's Office of Cannabis Medical Access oversees regulations brought down in July 2001 that allow marijuana use by people suffering from grave and debilitating illnesses. Applicants include those who have a terminal illness or serious medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord disease, cancer or AIDS/HIV infection. The Canadian government is working on the cultivation of a safe and standardized supply of marijuana for use as a medical treatment. But that supply is not yet available and those seeking medicinal marijuana must turn elsewhere for access to the drug. Often, they must apply for a license to grow the marijuana themselves or seek it on the street. St-Maurice said the Marijuana Party Foundation does not have permits from the Canadian government allowing the group to sell cannabis online. Its Internet initiative also does not have the consent of the Canadian Medical Association or other professional groups. But St-Maurice said those hurdles will not prevent the Web site from taking orders and shipping marijuana. "In January, we'll be starting to offer tax deductions for the marijuana we sell online," he said.

Yep - I'll be there. Gotta do something before leaving town for a week and a half of family-type activities. . . Anyone else?

We had our Christmas party last night, but it was lame and over by 8. Instead of getting loaded in a room full of bad food and boring co-workers, I stole two bottles of rare & elusive VT-brewed Magic Hat beer to take home. Everyone else must have kept on raging at the bars, because a ton of people aren't here and those that are came in really late. We're all abuzz now with the news that Lott is stepping down as majority leader. Is anyone going to Avalanche tomorrow night?
