I have a signed copy of Green Velvet - Constant Chaos. I opened for him at a Halloween party here in Connecticut (USA) about 10 years ago. I wanted to ask him if a version of Coitus that I had heard on Colin Dale's Abstrakt Dance show would ever be released but never got the chance.
I also opened for Joey Beltram and asked him to sign my copy of Beliver. That was right around when his JB3 releases (1996) were coming out. I wore the grooves off some of those records. Not sure if these links will work... http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/29954_431744636067_3001063010 67_5916278_4599598_n.jpg http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/29954_431744656067_3001063010 67_5916280_8142131_n.jpg -ant- -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Kennedy [mailto:the...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 11:02 PM To: domino Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Silly fanboy collectors question... let's see... I do have a signed poster and vinyl from Living Colour's vivid tour (they did an in-store near my house...I was 14...I asked to have my picture taken with the band, I sat between Muzz & Corey Glover...all the while FORGING Will Calhoun's signature). I like memories and stories more than autographs: I met Kurt Cobain when he played in Columbus. Talked to him for 5 minutes after soundcheck...this is the night before "smells like teen spirit" broke on MTV. I got Autographs from Steve Shelley and from Michael Rother when they played together for the Neu! Hallogallo thing. I did get an autograph from George Clinton...on a parliment Tshirt... When I first met Dan Bell, I tried to get him to autograph my copy of "losing control'...but I actually got something better: He handed me the first represses of the first four accelerate releases when I visited him @ 7th City. I was given Shake's copy of "night drive through babylon" by Shake. I at one point owned the DAT machine that was used for all of the Accelerate releases, Most of the +8 stuff, and the first two Dopplereffeckt records. I don't usually get into autograph seeking...but if someone asks me to autograph a copy of one of my records...I gladly oblige:) I am a fan...of a bunch of stuff:) On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 10:45 PM, domino <dom...@digitallifedetroit.com> wrote: > great topic! > > i had Chris Simmonds sign a few of his records when he was in Detroit in > 2000 or 2001. meeting him was a treat. he was so nice. > > i think i have a cd signed by Carl Craig somewhere. it was always exciting > when he came to Record Time. also very nice the few times i got to speak > with him, and generous with the whitelabels! > > one of the biggest thrills of my life was seeing Alexander Robotnick perform > in Detroit in 2004, i believe. not sure, but it may have been his first > Detroit performance. i first heard "Problemes D'Amour" on the radio in the > early 80's and have been in love with the song ever since. 20 years later > i'm standing there with his record in my hand, waiting for the end of his > gig to get an autograph. holding the record and a drink at the same time > were probably the only thing keeping me from doing some Whitney > Houston-style finger waving in the face of the ignorant girl behind me who > said to a friend in a nasty tone, "who's the old guy?"
