biting janelle monae!!

'Stamina' is a fantastic tune.

alright, so this is ridiculous. absolutely no good reason for ELECTRO LOVE's non-release.

so i propose that, for end-of-the-year listing purposes, we put together a Cassie Fan Club Cassie Mixtape. an updated version of the Cassie leaks. like a Piracy Funds Terrorism buzz-builder. it needs to be thoughtfully constructed.

anyone else interested?

This was my first attempt a month ago. It doesn't work imo, but I'm pretty sure I got pretty much every great track?

1. In Love With You (Intro)
2. Summer Charm
3. Is It You?
4. Official Girl
5. I Need Love
6. My House
7. Thirsty
8. Nobody But You
9. Turn Off The Lights
10. When Your Body Is Talking
11. Activate
12. Stamina
13. 2 The Morning
14. Make U A Believer
15. Can't Do It WIthout You
16. Sometimes
17. Must Be Love

In Love With the DJ
Not What Love Is
I'm A Lover
Hide
Addiction

Keep On Lovin' Me

Don't Go Too Slow

ha, i guess i would be interested! except i put together an incredible connecticut fever one last year, track listing probably upthread. there have been enough leaks etc to make up electro love this year but it wouldn't really be as great :(

omg a whole lot of leaks

omg she's really sinister on a few of these!

What else is there?

(i guess there is a danity kane version of this, too, but cassie's is better imo)

ok, yeah, so now i'm really psyched about Operation Cassie Fan Club Mixtape

she tweeted that they're not going to be on electro love (lol as if that thing will EVER get a release at this point), they're all from a couple of years ago. they're nice enough but tbh nothing that's leaked this year has grabbed me half as much as the connecticut fever non-album from 2007-08 that i put together for myself.

oh wait "shakespeare" is pretty special

dammn if I never new isn't the best version of Last Christmas I never heard

also I had never heard her teriusntricky track, surprised how well she fits into that sound world

which terius one? keep on lovin me? b/c if anything her really minimal pipes always seemed very well suited to his deal.

and JEEZ I Never Knew really is Last Christmas, isn't it?

So let's review, Lex+My Connecticut Fever was:

Activate
2 the Morning (ft. Young Dro)
Is It You?
Official Girl (ft. Lil Wayne optional)
In Love With U
I Don't Love You
In Love With the DJ
Nobody But You
Thirsty
My House
Sometimes (feat. Ryan Leslie)
Turn the Lights Off
Bonus track: Summer Charm

This is what I have for the 2009 Electro Love

Let's Get Crazy (ft. Akon)
Must Be Love (ft. Puff Daddy)
Keep On Lovin' Me (ft. The-Dream)
I Need Love (Ft. K-Love)
Stamina
Shakespeare
Look What You've Done
She Can't Love You
What She Don't Know Won't Hurt Her
Can't Shake the Feeling
Push It
Let Me Go
I Never Knew
Up In Here
Stray (ft. Brandon Hines)

Is there any 2009 Cassie I'm missing here? And while there's good stuff here, for sure, I think Lex might be right that nothing matches up to her best 07-08 stuff.

Or is it possible that after last year we're just having Cassie leak-fatigue?

No, Nobody But You (ft the dream), I dunno I just picture her voice in such clicky icey soundscapes that tricky's lush minimalism shouldn't work but the way her voice shifts gears between the verse and bridge is pretty next level

altogether, incl. "cassie" i have 63 tracks on my iTunes, but there might be a couple of duplicates in there...

also the ft. lil wayne is not optional, wayne-free vers is the only real version

Oh, jeez, yeah. That was the tail end of 2008 and at the time I think a lot of us wrote it off as a sub-Mariah Mariah song, esp. since Terius'n'Tricky were working on Memoirs at the time, but in retrospect a) it's a fucking GREAT song, and b) They didn't give Mariah ANYTHING close to this (would that they had).

wow. I only have 47.

11 'cassie' + 2 bonus
13 connecticut fever
15 electro love

tell me, is there a full version of keep on lovin me cause the one i have is only 1.20

yup. 3.40

i can send it your way, if you can help me figure out/fill in the gaps in my collection.

hah, i got it and i'm already lookin to see what i got that you don't (i have a lot more duplicates than i thought, also i think the "interludes" and shit are making up a little too)

(i counted the interludes!)

Also, how did I never give Stamina a proper spin before? This is pretty sweet.

i know this room is full of spectators
some are haters
middle finger - i return the favour, so
let's give 'em something to talk about
something they can write a book about

okay i'm not sure abt these:

At the Bar
Addiction
Do It
Don't Go Too Slow
High
I hope you're behaving (interlude)
Leave You A Message
She Can't Love You

???

some of those could just have different titles u kno?

Don't Go too slow is one of my "Cassie" bonus tracks (the other is when your body is talking)

I have the hope you're behaving (interlude) and she can't love you. addiction is the ryan leslie track? or something else all together?

definitely missing: at the bar, do it, high + leave you a message.

oh yeah, sorry addiction is the RL i must have it under both, do you have I'm a Lover as well? Whatever you're stuck for I can rar u

Got I'm a Lover, yeah. Always forget about that a lot because it sorta whatever.

yeah, her voice is weird on it

"High" is a one-minute long snippet of a Neptunes-Cassie collab, it sounded v promising but doesn't really stand on its own

also there's a lot of amazing 09 stuff that holds up w/ the 08 leaks

and cross off "Do It," it was a demo for Cassie

And add "Make U A Believer" w/ jadakiss
