I think you're thinking of Spencer bro. He was the one in charge of sending out Skaters tapes if I remember correctly, if that's what you're even referring to.
But yes, James Ferraro is the shit.
>>63443351
I thought it was jf who scammed people with cassetes and even rambled about it>>63442726
>>63444490
meant to say ranted
>>63443351
He had an old label on blogspot, it's still up but I can't think of the name, that sold cassettes of albums that didn't exist.

Here is the site but i cant get why so many of this are credited to the skaters when they should be James (i guess)
THE SKATERS - LAST AMERICAN HERO
JAMES FERRARO - COMPOSITIONS OF
THE SKATERS- GENIE HEAD GAS
CLARK SPENCER-THE SON OF DRACULA
THE SENSABILITIES OF MELTED
KNOWLEDGE(actually the skaters)
etc.Are the discogs names wrong?
>>63443351
>>63444490
When did this go down? I've emailed with Spencer about gettign some digital files and he was really cool
>>63443351
it was ferraro
>>63444786
>>63444618
wait what exactly did they do? I don't get what you are saying.
>>63447200
He sold stuff that didnt exist aka took their money and never send them anything
I bet you faggots don't even listen to Lamborghini Crystal
Re: actual Ferraro music:
Skid Row was fantastic and "To Live and Die in LA" maybe the best track of last year.
If you haven't heard these 2 tracks from when he used to upload tracks to youtube and soundcloud and delete them like a day later, DO IT NOW:
"T.O.N.Y." - From late 2013, maybe the most beautiful thing to come out of avant-RnB mode Ferraro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMx8uy9bMF8
"(変態 K-Town" - this dropped on valentine's day 2014. Amazing sex-funk jam with incongruous samples from LA riot coverage in the intro. Kind of proto-Skid Row in that way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMx8uy9bMF8
I also recently spent a whole day listening to the Jarvid 9 trilogy and was blown away. His low-fi CDRs are so fucking INFINITE, if that makes sense. Like, paradoxically the sound quality is really shitty but also incredibly detailed and listenable.
>>63449343
accidentally pasted "T.O.N.Y." link twice. Here's K-Town:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awyTgu5hwFU
hes not
>>63449343
>His low-fi CDRs are so fucking INFINITE, if that makes sense
True ive never heard something so immersing yet different.Its realy difficult to explain.
>sound quality is really shitty
I think this is one of the things which makes it this good.I really like the utlra lofi cassete quality which makes its so mysterious and nostalgic.
>>63449333
I do but it's really not for me. It either makes me want to listen to his more abstract stuff or Night Dolls With Hairspray.
Live at Slimer Beach is great though.
>marcel-core
>>63451124
Does he have any stuff similar to Night Dolls with Hairspray? - I really dug that one
later Ferraro>>>>early Ferraro
>>63452422
If you mean lofi late maaaaybe but if you mean hi-fi then youre turbopleb
>>63451486
Feed Me and On Air probably come the closest. They have a similar trashy glam-pop vibe, alongside noisier synth stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYE9i9doOxM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQm-opqeTe4
marble surf <3
>>63451486
That is his poppiest release in that style, so everything else is going to be much less tight and coherent. In descending clarity: On Air, Feed Me, iAsia, Live At Slimer Beach, and then his Lamborghini Crystal stuff.
>>63452422
Mid Ferraro > Later Ferraro > Early Ferraro
>>63452516
I feel so at peace, but also so unhinged after I get deep into Marble Surf.
Like sinking into a dissociative trip.
>>63452477
lamo no, the hi fi stuff is wayyyy better. the lofi is like 95 percent of all lofi, mediocre.
>>63452560
define mid Ferraro
These are my favorites
Hell 3AM
Live Primivera Sound
SUKI Girls
Skid Row
War
what else would i like?
>>63452992
Also, what are some ferraro-core movies or documentaries and stuff? Im watching the OJ Crime drama but ran out of episodes. now im watching Micheal Jackson trial documentaries
>>63452422
hpop ferraro > new age ferraro = tribal ferraro > noise ferraro > RnB ferraro
>>63453028
Rapture Adrenaline of course, made by Jimmyboy himself
https://vimeo.com/41372360
>>63453290
not clicking that right now but the last film of his I saw wasn't any good.
>>63453622
Honestly, it isn't. It's a bunch of incongruous clips of 80s films, commercials, and new broadcasts cut up disorientatingly and often overlayed with dutch subtitles. But it is as ferraro-core as it gets. Welcome to Candyland is actually entertaining but I don't think it would count as a movie or documentary
>>63452812
2007/8 to 2011 (Post-Skaters, Pre-FSV).
>>63453028
>Also, what are some ferraro-core movies
Watch Killer Nerd. It was a ridiculous B Movie from the 1991 from Troma. I think it matches the slime punk and surreality of Night Dolls really well (not to mention it has "Killer Nerd" as a song).
>>63453941
sweet
>>63453805
i think candyland was the one I saw. It was cool for what it is.
>>63452992
Primavera Sound is off the chain bro. In case you're curious- that live performance was based around a track called 'Earth Jump' that he made under the alias Gecko Afterlife HD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsRPF4LhgPA
His gf is crazy
but yeah his new stuff is meh. dean blunt has surpassed him
His boiler room set still goat tho. did a footwork set back in 2012 while dissing boiler room
based madmenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NntgFRUw2PU
Him and dean are always ahead of the game
>>63454793
im not fucking interested rem
>>63454896
how did he diss them?
>>63455071
watch the first 5mins
pay attention to the repeated words
>The weird and wonderful James Ferraro showcasing all the dope music he made! Sorry for making him sound like an amateur dramatic version of Alice in Wonderland, but hopefully we highlighted how much better he is than ourselves.
>>63455129
i don't get it
>>63454896
>his gf is crazy
How so?
