listening to tracks

[DebDeb]

where can I listen to tracks on the net without downloading them?I know HMV do this but it's older music I need to find.I had a boyfriend that had a few records out and I want to see if my friend remembers his music.

I can just imagine your fingers tapping away on google now ha ha how funny.let's really see how good you are!

I did not know des o'connor was a dj in east london

ha-ha

[DebDeb]

Des O'connor?Rik Waller?

You lot are having a laugh.How comes you know so much about Des O'connor?Think the laugh is on you!

[gary baldy]

A dj from east London! Well that narrows it down a bit!!!!! You cant move for dj's in east london.
Are we talking about Steve 'you what' Walsh (who made Rick Waller look like Brad Pitt!)?

[DebDeb]

No we are not.I will give you another clue.He was a Bad Young Brother

[gary baldy]

Well i have couple his tunes and a couple of remixes he did aswell ( a great one of Paid in Full by Eric B and Rakim).
Good job you didnt end up marrying him - you would have been Deb Bottom eh?
What happened to him?
Didnt he get into a bit of trouble?

[DebDeb]

Bottom?Sorry I don't get it.He got in a bit of trouble when he left a certain club in Canning town.Last time I saw him was at the Notting Hill carnival years ago.He said he was seeing an MTV presenter and living in the states.I had a great time with him but he was an only child and it showed.Then he started seeing Heidi,the blond in his video and I started seeing Paul Anderson (trouble).I have managed to track down my clubbing partner and his old friend Linden C if you have heard of him.He is in San Francisco still djing.Seems so long ago now but listening to all this old music has made me think back.Sad I know but clubs are not the same now.That's my life history.There is loads more but I am keeping silent about the rest in case the press come knocking.Were you at the same clubs at the same time?I was everywhere and now go nowhere,well only local places.So it didn't take you long did it?

[gary baldy]

No different scene deb - although i did hear him dj in Manchester once as a support act- Big daddy Kane i think. He was a much better dj than his records.
No - i'm a manchester lad so i'm hacienda and house music through and through. Never liked clubbing in London.
Bottom? Wasnt the rumour that his real name was Bottom not Boland? Rubbish i'm sure?
Paul Anderson was (is?) a great dj (got a couple of his records/ remixes aswell - didnt he do a Kym Mazelle one?).
I still work in the 'business' but only on the edges thankfully. Got kids and that now but i can usually be found near a nightclub for one reason another most weekends.
I'm off dig out 'good groove' now and reminice about my youth - like you say its just not the same now.

That rumour might of come about because there were rumours about him being gay but those rumours went round about loads of them at the time and I never heard it until afterwards thankfully.D had a good crowd but P was by far the better dj.Things took hold of him though a few years ago.Think he is still djing though and hopefully better now. Gone are the days of shouts to me on Kiss,wbls and lwr.I even done a jingle for Kiss once,How embarrassing was that?Even more embarrassing is that I still have it on cassette! I done the whole house scene and rave scene but never made it to Manchester.I have a son now too so you have to grow up.Those pirate Kiss days were the best but it's now totally different and is just as commercial as the other stations.BIG shame.Glad some of the dj's have made it though TN,NJ,TW etc.Seems like I picked the wrong ones!
