brothers on the side…the chosen sperms
February 18, 2008
Phillygran is a legend to me and the only man I know who can refer to sperm without laughing… I have enjoyed his blog over the last several months and I am proud to introduce the one and only Mr Phillygran…
BACK TO BASICS
BLOG NAME:
CONTRIBUTORS:
Phillygran
DATE OF FIRST POST:
07/25/2007
HOW OFTEN DO YOU POST?
Not often enough
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU STOP THE BLOG?
A real career
HYPE MACHINE OR EL.BOWS?
Neither /Nor – Apparently people tried to sign my blog up on HypeMachine a few times, but it was rejected.
BLOGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE
WHAT IS BEHIND YOUR BLOG NAME?
As I think pearls of songs and living things are amongst the most valuable on this beautiful planet : they are all the Chosen Ones. I hope Jez’s mom wasn`t too offended by this rather sexual name.
THE BLOG IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN:
DJ’ing things I love to people, who don’t know what they want ! If they don’t like the blog they just leave - in a club they come and ask you out of inspiration.
THE BLOG IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN:
The music.
WHY MP3S, AND WHY NOW?
I always liked to share the music I loved. At home – via tapes – in clubs – in cars - so it was a logical step for me. I chose the mp3 format, because I thought that wouldn’t do much harm to the owners and compsers of the material as it still is a poor quality for my ears (even 320 kps). Well apparently I am wrong most people cannot hear a difference between cd-quality and high resolutuon mp3’s – too bad. For them.
WHAT BAND OR PRODUCER IS REALLY DOING IT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW?
In 2007 it was Carl Craig again.
A POST YOU ARE DAMN PROUD OF:
Phillygran - Mein Plattenschrank Volume Two
OTHER THAN LIKING THEIR TRACK WHAT WOULD A BAND OR LABEL HAVE TO GIVE YOU TO MAKE YOU POST ON THEM?
Innovation, Re-innovation or New Combination of good music.
IF YOU COULD GET ANY WRITER OR MUSIC EVENT EXCLUSIVE FOR YOUR BLOG, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Berghain, Berlin

‘Tijuana Lady’ is just a superb song from a top album.
Great choice.
