Whilst trying to do some basic blog-maintenance while offsite from the Fabulous Lounge today, I mistakenly fubar-ed a comment/question about "Uncle Eric is helping police with their inquiries." (btw, if you google that entire phrase this is the only site that shows up). Anyway, that's a line -- actually a sample -- used in the song "Five Minutes" by Mainframe. Early 80s synthpop. From Chicago, I believe. I'm sure some in the audience can correct me if I'm wrong on that. I'm also pretty sure that their entire recorded output only extends to just the 1 twelve-inch single. I have one version of "Five Minutes" on tape from back in the days. And I've heard another version ("Five Minutes On" I think) floating around when Napster was in full bloom. Poking around just now I found one site selling old vinyl that had it for a not unreasonable price. Hope that helps (and sorry for deleting your comment)
If I get a chance, I'll try to spin it tomorrow night -- 10pm to midnite EST at the usual location
