David Naughton - 'Makin' It'

I made the mistake of downloading this off of a particular mp3 blog and that was a total mistake.

Every now and then, it'll pop up in my head and I can't get it out.

Le sigh.

Didn't know there was a video for this....

Linda Clifford - 'Runaway Love'

Classic disco that has been sampled by tons of people.

The Bucketheads did a version of it too that is my fave.

Oh Man

Shirley And Company - 'Shame, Shame, Shame'

Check out the Donny Osmond guy.

And how's this for a Gay Diva Explosion:

Eruption - 'I Can't Stand The Rain'

Thick 'N Chunky Basslines

Jimmy 'Bo' Horne - 'Spank'

Michael Zager Band - 'Let's All Chant'

Old Skool Classic Jam

First Choice - 'Let No Man Put Asunder'

This track has been sampled and re-imagined countless times.

Disco Classic

The Player's Association - 'Turn The Music Up'

I wish I knew the name of the house track that samples this.

Why I Shouldn't Be Allowed To Visit Thrift Stores

Recently I had to drop off some clothes at the local charity shop and even though I knew better, I had to browse through the old vinyl.

You readers know I am a big music person, so I like to peruse the discarded libraries of people's past tastes, to find something weird or unique.

Plus, top that with them being dirt cheap, I can easily develop a vinyl problem.

So this time while browsing the shelves, in amidst an obscene amount of 90's hip hop, was this little gem.

'How retarded', I thought.

And I admit I even like disco.

But for a kids' album?

I had to check it out.

I purchase it and head home.

I didn't have my turntable out, so I had to search my storage space for it.

Well, that turned in to an ordeal.

Then I had to find the audio cables and grounding wire because, of course, they weren't with the turntable.

Then I realized that I could only listen to it on my Denon receiver.

While I was doing this I figured I could finally get around to digitizing all my vinyl to keep on file, so I might as well hook it all up to my computer.

The problem with that is now I had no audio system for the television in my bedroom.

Thanks to getting my tax refunds recently, I figured 'what the heck', and decided to go out the next day and get a new system.

Sounds simple enough, so I figured Big Red should have something doable.

No dice.

Checked three Big Reds and they either only had boomboxes and iPod bays, or really cheap and crappy theater systems.

Now I could have easily gone to Best Buy, or Circuit City, but I have heard way too many horror stories about both places, so I figured good old standby, Sears, should have something.

Long story short [too late], I found a decent JVC system and brought it home.

Man, was that thing heavy.

The subwoofer must weigh at least 75 pounds by itself.

Anywho, I get that all set up to the bedroom TV, and proceed to set up the Denon tuner to my computer.

Took about two hours total.

So I finally throw Disco MM on the platter, and boy was I right: it was super-cheezey.

Ha ha.

Honestly, who was the target market for this?

Did kids really want a Disco MM album?

I guess so.

Ack.

Oh man, it's bad.

For instance, check this out.

Ha ha.

In addition to Disco MM, I also purchase some other cheezey music that I will post about later.

Leo Sayer - 'Make Me Fee Like Dancing'

With intro by Captain and Tennille for J*O*E!

Welcome To Disco Madness! Prom Night!

Jamie Lee Curtis does the Disco.

The Original Version

This is the song Alcazar sampled for 'Crying At The Discotheque'.

Sheila And B Devtion - 'Spacer'

One of the worst movies, ever.

Finally somone posted it. Check out the koo-koo disco Cher song. And the black guy who 'jumps' the cans. He's totally in front of them.

'Roller Boogie' opening dance-roll scene.

One of the best basslines, ever.
