BLOG 9: TOUCH ME, NOW !!!!


A recent shuffle playlist from the BOOM app on my iPhone:

Roller Blade Disco 

Go Deep [both some techno I must have downloaded from Beatport while in the office way in the past]

3 X 3 Lydia Lunch [counterbalance to Samantha Fox]

What Time Is Love KLF [12 inch version]

Death Valley '69 Sonic Youth with special guest, Lydia Lunch.

Heart of Darkness Pere Ubu

TV Baby Magazine

Gun in Your Hand Peter Munch [another obscure techno gem I must have downloaded years ago]

Keine Lust Rammstein [Black Strobe Remix]

Touch Me [I Want Your Body] Samantha Fox [former Page 3 girl in a British tabloid, who use to print half-naked women on that page.  They switched to only glamour models in 2013.  Catchy pop tune, read her autobiography, excellent stuff.]

Time Space Transmet [Metroplax] Original Juan Atkins Model 500 [vintage Detroit techno]

Bang Bang [LP version] Vanilla Fudge [an engaging pummeling of the Sonny & Cher original]

Blue Jean David Bowie

Dead Souls Joy Division

The "In" Crowd Bryan Ferry [with the classic freelance band that backed Ferry's solo work back in the day: John Wetton on bass, Chris Spedding on guitar. Cuts the original by a mile.]

Since people who receive the Zelda Rising don't tell me how they like the book, I wonder if they think it's a bomb or are speechless about its brilliance.  I like to think the latter.  They all like the cover though, so there's that.

Shota Imanaga [?] pitched seven shutout innings for the Cubs vs the Pirates yesterday.  He's at a record-breaking 0.84 average for May.  Another brilliant Japanese player.  Cubs won 1-0 thanks to a disputed Bang Bang Vanilla Fudge play at home plate.  The crowd was celebrating with a hearty Go Cubs Go, when they stopped it all for a replay.  For god's sake, just go with the umpire's call that late in the game.  Instant replay is grossly overrated.
