HERE’S TO STANK

Disconet was a label and remix outfit that serviced remix 12-inches to DJs. I bought two of their 12-inches yesterday, one because it had a megamix of Janet Jackson songs (from 1986) and another because it gave some of Jody Watley’s biggest hits the same treatment. YouTube doesn’t have either of those mixes, unfortunately, but it does have the Disconet remix of “When I Think Of You,” which is a jam that I am particularly feeling at the moment.

I also bought the 12-inches for Cameo’s “Candy,” Gwen Guthrie’s “Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent,” Giggles’ “Love Letter,” Stevie B’s “Party Your Body,” Prince’s “Delirious,” L’Trimm’s “Grab It,” Cynthia & Johnny’s “Dreamboy/Dreamgirl,” Exposé’s “Seasons Change” (which has an Exposé megamix tacked on to the end), and Face To Face’s “10-9-8” (which I first heard on an educational music video show and which I always think of when playing solitaire). And something that collects slow jams that includes “Shake You Down,” and a Barbara Manning 7-inch that was New To Me.

i’m just going to put this here.

pj harvey and patrick stump both went the ‘posting handwritten notation on songs that have yet to be released’ route this week. I APPROVE.

Unrest! Last night! Was so great! I am still sorta twitching from the overwhelming excitement that I felt during the whole thing.

Sadly, I have eight billion things to do today so my extended treatise on why it was so fantastic is going to have to wait. For now, please enjoy this clip of “Cherry Cream On” from Tuesday night’s show in Philadelphia and Maria’s spot-on review of same.
