Re: Steve James - Hometown Memorial Service

for those who cant make it (ie use on the other side of the globe) could we make a contribution for some flowers or something?

Kamal and some others are working on something. I don't think its flowers though, ready my previous post at top.

Re: Steve James - Hometown Memorial Service

but that marathon set from April 2007 in Pensacola was the shit. I know I was there. There definitely was some sort of sonic audio VORTEX going on during that set. We literally had the walls shaking and foundation rumbling during that time. I remember walking on the wooded floor with socks and the shit was vibrating like crazy during some of his peak tracks. Shit..I just got chills.

i posted that set here,

he gave it to me shortly after it was played

i bugged him like hell for a marathon set and he finally delivered that, needless to say i was happy. hehe

i remember blasting it at my apartment at 1am and having the neighbors come to the door because it was so loud... great great sets.

Re: Steve James - Hometown Memorial Service

I'm 99% sure she will be giving most of it to me to delegate distribution. Yesterday via phone and at the end of the day in person, she held my hand and said "WE WILL DO THIS RIGHT. WE WILL HONOR HIM FOR THE LIFE HE LIVED & THAT HE DID NOT DIE IN VAIN." and assured me that this would happen as I did give her mine. So I will do my damndest to keep that pact and agreement intact. Just make sure you get a hold of Steve Graham to be there to have my back if needed. Hafid will most likeley not be able to make it. We currently have about 6 persons going - myself, Emilie, Megan, Grainger and Eddie and one other that I can't remember right now. Probably have a couple more after our Sunday night local FSM meeting.

Re: Steve James - Hometown Memorial Service

Here's another idea similar to above...I don't know if this is possible. 24 hours of Steve James but somehow pickout some his best stuff and I believe we have at least 3-4 hours of his last recorded sets and just maybe I can get the iRiver's back in time of the last true 6 hours of him ever playing. The task picking out the best would be difficult but that marathon set from April 2007 in Pensacola was the shit. I know I was there. There definitely was some sort of sonic audio VORTEX going on during that set. We literally had the walls shaking and foundation rumbling during that time. I remember walking on the wooded floor with socks and the shit was vibrating like crazy during some of his peak tracks. Shit..I just got chills.

Re: Steve James - Hometown Memorial Service

Is it possible to have his last Mcast stream and loop automatically for the entire day. I know in most cases a time of silence is used but knowing Steve he would have it going loud and proud. His mother mentioned yesterday, even though she and 99% of the family relatives and friends don't listen or have heard "techno" music but she demanded/insisted that on his memorial/celebration of life day that his music will be played throught out the whole day, no matter what. no questions asked. I gave her my personal CD copy of his last show with his handwriting on it for this very purpose.

Thoughts?

That's a wonderful idea!!!
