Getting palladium on sunday. Which just happened in the same night booked lay out of the midtown called snapping. I was despondent about missing pill. And it would only get worse. While at work at mastered, this to the following wednesday, i recognized Ed Ballman, the proprietor of 99 records, he was there to retrieve some reference discs, for the first release on his label, a 12 inch by blood vonga Ed and his partner geno franklin were running 99 records out of a storefront at 99 McDougall Street.
And they were the two retail people in the city, who best had a finger on the pulse of what was new and fresh coming out. London. Talking to ad about how cool it was at 99, was starting a label. I asked him if he had seen Pill the palladium of course he had, but he said the show last night, was way better.

I worked around in a day as the entire week, wondering how i had missed this other show. Was i doing on tuesday night? April 22nd. I was home alone in my apartment, beating a peanut butter sandwich and watching her rerun of three’s company on a tiny black and white television set while sitting on my unmade there.
