What What (In the butt)

So, is this Samwell video as hilarious for gay men as it is for me? Or would this video be considered “hot”? A curious hetero mind would love to find out. Either way, I’m still mesmerized after having watched this video 5 times straight… no pun intended.

Music Break: Miami Bass Warriors

View Comments

I just found one more reason to visit Miami.. or quite possibly avoid it for the rest of my life. I’m torn between choosing one or the other.

The song may be tender, but this band sure isn’t.

Because nothing screams star power more than the Bee Gees.  No wonder cassettes are dead.

The Death of Disco

View Comments

Much has been written about the death of disco, mostly without a conclusive reason or proof as to why it happened. I believe I may have put my finger on the truth, and it’s not pretty. I never knew Kato Kaelin could sing.

What’s That You’re Feeling?

View Comments

so shinyFor my part, I’m feeling love. A little bit of love for the disco music. Ah the disco music. Forever to be ridiculed for the haberdashery, the line dances and the insane hairstyles. Many people will tell you that they were happy when this fad died. And for the most part I’d have to agree. It was a ludicrous time to be sure.

What can’t be denied though is that for all the one-hit wonders that all sounded remarkably identical, there were some benchmark tracks that became the foundation for club and electronic music that still resounds as you read this. One such track is Donna Summers’ I Feel Love. The song was originally released in 1977 in what was the tail end of Disco’s popularity. It was a massive hit on both sides of the pond. Donna’s voice was never finer or more inviting and Georgio Moroder insanely hypnotic and persistent rhythms cemented it’s place in electro history.

Proof of this can be found by noting that the Patrick Cowley remix, that clocked in at a whopping 15+ minutes, came out a full 5 years after the initial release and climbed up to #21 in the UK. Brilliant. the list of musicians who have in one way or another covered the song or ripped off the bass line includes Blondie, Underworld, Blue Man Group and Madonna. Impressive.

So in case you forgot that there was some good that came out of the carnage of the Disco music, have a listen. I hope you feel it too.
