Verlaines "Juvenilia" but GIS is coming up empty for the sleeve I've got, which is like lavender and mint green and pretty ugly but waay better than the crappy cd cover. Side one just ended, I think I'll chill on side two since roomie is taking a nap.

(this record was warped and you couldn't play the 1st song on either side without making the needle jump, but 7 years of being wedged in a tight shelf flattened it right out. sounds great and now I'm up on cripple creek - the free LP wins in the end)

we have reached the 80's!

how about ranking them for us?

keeping in mind that i dont have KEEP ON DANCING, skot's favorite, this may change...

summertime groove
stop and go
on my way
bohannon (didnt listen today, but did on monday)
cut loose
insides out
gittin off
too hot to hold
dance your ass off
one step ahead
phase ii

(i forget how bohannon fever sounds, but it's next!)

dance your ass off would be much much higher if it were a little slower

(except on Barclay)

oh wait now there's an overt "tear the roof off" quote in the bohannon record. i think i like that!

you have more bohannon than i do!

i know all his albums (that i've heard) are amazing and i dunno if i've heard a necessarily "bad" song, but it started getting a lil samey after 6 or 7

yeah that list is like whoa. I only have Gittin Off and a couple 12"s. Always on the lookout for Stop and Go, I had heard that one was the best.

STOP AND GO is very unique in the discography. there are these two slow-burnin sax funk songs "run it on down mr DJ" and "singin a song for my mother" that are two of my favorite bohannon songs, but dont really have any analogues from his third record on (again, havent heard KEEP ON DANCIN). from the third record on, with only a few variations, you get hard funky disco (moving slowly as time goes on from funk to disco to electro) on the A-side and kinda schmaltzy lite-soul (tinged with disco in some cases) on the B-side. while the B-sides arent the bangers, theyve definitely grown on me a lot. i think there's a sweet spot starting with SUMMERTIME GROOVE, though, as he introduces caroline (carolyn crawford) as his protegee/backup-lady. im stoked to hear her record, which jaxon has generously offered to lend me :D

I passed up buying Summertime Groove one time cause there was no listening station and it looked maybe too slick late-'70s discoey. Bad call I guess!

well i mean, it definitely IS slick late-70s disco, compared to his funkier older stuff. but like, his use the tropes of slick late-70s disco is real mastery. the ones immediately prior to SG strike me as a little more awkward, which might reflect his slick-disco learning-curve or something?
