"Cry" by Godley & Creme

from 12"

This one has been stuck in my head for a week since my friend Duane posted this vid on Facebook...

"Uptown Top Ranking" by Althea & Donna

from Uptown Top Ranking

This one has been with me for a couple of days.

"Junk Culture" by OMD

from Junk Culture

how did i overlook this for so long!?!

"Catholic Block" by Sonic Youth

from Sister

Funkiest Sonic Youth guitar riff totally doing it for me today.

"Teardrops" by Womack & Womack

from Youtube

Perfect post 4th of July jam. It's all about around 2:20 when Cecil takes his feet down off the console and starts getting into it, then the blond curly haired engineer adjust something, looks over and synchronizes his head nod.

"Shake The Mind" by C Cat Trance

from Zouave

This song is so nuts - especially when the drums really kick in. I don't know how it took me so long to realize...

"R U Hot Enough" by Virgo

from 12"

So confusing all these Virgos on Trax, all sounding pretty similar and good. This is the actual super group - Adonis, Marshal & co. Starts with some pretty typical piano, but it evolves more atypically.

(SPOILER ALERT)

Some synth bass, a cozy bed of strings and finally some almost-latin faux horns...

"Blah Blah Cafe" by Jean-Michel Jarre

from Zoolook

Getting into the late-period Jarre lately. This one has been haunting me. Bouncing along behind me as I walk down the street. Other great stuff on this LP too...

"Magnetic Fields 2" by Jean-Michel Jarre

from Magnetic Fields/Live

Epic live montage. Everyone looks like they are concentrating so hard. Badly need a circular wrap around keyboard like that.

"Mr. Softee" by Kid Creole

from Off the Coast

First Mr. Softee sighting of the season.
