808 State - Pacific state



Prompt: Michael Phelps is America's laziest Olympian in 2012? Ever?



Speaking of being lazy, I didn't have time to track down a tune for this post. So I farmed it out to Nick. So blame him.

It's been brought to my attention that Nick feels very strongly about the Grand Theft Auto radio station that he first heard this track on. Nick mentioned that somehow through the alcohol induced haze that was college he remembers hearing this track and, "feeling like there were angles in his heart."

I don't know what that is all about.

Dam-Funk - Happy




Diabolical Angel. That's the best metal band name ever, right?



New Dam-Funk. Sounds a lot like the old Dam-Funk. But as Karl Marx once said, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. True story.

Dam-Funk has a way of making every song sound like early 1980's. Huge hair, big Cosby sweaters, and no air conditioning ever. Just hot sweat rolling down the back of your neck causing your shirt to stick to you in uncomfortable ways. All the time. Before we invented A/C in 1999 the population of Florida was half of what it is now. The only thing in Florida were old people and crocodiles.

Yea, all that nostalgia for the 1980's, they don't ever tell you about all the sweat, do they?

Bob - Otto (Edu K remix ft. Bebel Gilberto)




This sounds like the colors in this picture.



Yea, it is late. For sure. I'm sitting here watching Senna, half paying attention and then this brilliant track came rocketing into my life from no where. It's perfect Sunday summer music. I believe this is what Brazil sounds like. If Brazil sounds like anything it looks like than it sounds like this. God damn.

Also, no idea what the name of this song is or who authored it. After a series or quick Google searches I am very confused what versions are original and what versions are remixes.

I am a 100% certain that this is awesome though.

Frank Booker - Boss




Disco sleaze.



Countless other things that I should really be doing right now. It's just not going to happen though.
How about this little guy though? Huh? Totally awesome. A little baleric, disco track for your Saturday afternoon pleasure. (Technically it is just a portion of the track but still, it's a 5 minute 'snip'.) I'm digging it.

It's a tanker of rainbows and disco tunes that has crashed ashore on a unsuspecting community. The local fauna on the beach is covered in disco sleaze and beats. It will take years to clean this mess up. It would be a tragedy if not for all the dancing.

Emilio Santiago - Bananeira




Andy Warhol as Robin. Nico as Bat(wo)man.



Latin funk. Deal with it.

It's drinking time and I don't want to bothered with having to write some cutesy, witty remark for you mouth-breathers. I'm leaving. Make sure you don't touch anything with your grumpy little fingers.
