Time Does Not Go By So Slowly...

Time goes by...
So Slowly

Um, no Madonna. You make it come to a complete stop.

Time takes forever when we're waiting for you to get off the stage and for the Gorillaz and De La Soul to come back on. As I hoped that the humidity would not go up twenty percent which would be the final component of earthquake weather in San Francisco (the other being unseasonably warm temperatures), I prayed that the Gorillaz appearance would be longer than the wee cameo that it was.

Sigh, bad disco time and the Missus literally left the room. Now here are some recommendations to purge your ears of that Madonna cr*p because if you are going to bring back an era, you do it with respect ala' The Stray Cats, The Donnas, Jet, Macy Gray, and Nikka Costa.

Jimmy Bo Horne had the younger brother of K.C. backing him up. As in "and the Sunshine Band" and he had the T.K. Records sound while K.C. was toning it down and doing ballads like that remake of "Yes, I'm Ready."

"Dance Across The Floor" and "You Get Me Hot" were the sh*t and are still better than virtually any dance tracks from the last fifteen years.

As long as you flow with the T.K. and Florida sound of the late 70's, check it out Foxy.

"Hot Numbers" was okay back in the day and holds only sentimental value for me, but "Get Off" was the jam and don't play it near any cemeteries because it's a song that could make the dead rise and shake it.

Closer to the funk from V-Town (Vallejo), California was Confunkshun. They started out with the fat bass of "Ffun," the perfect song for the Electric Slide and if you play this at the wedding while you stumble through that dance, I promise I won't laugh. The keyboards of horns of "Too Tight" and "Got To Be Enough" were a beautiful transition into the 80's.

Back to the bass, back to the funk, Slave...

Last but not least, Brick. "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody" and "Dusic" you've probably danced to or you've danced to a rip-off of those songs via samples. Good stuff but it's not gonna get you off like "Dazz."

Now give these tracks a listen and if you're not going to buy them, at least they purged that junk that Madonna inflicted on your ears.

I'm sorry if the links are a little out of whack and that you will have to copy and paste to make them work, but when they're intact, they push my links and archives diagonally to the bottom.
