DLR - Shy Boy

I was today years old (actually 15 minutes ago) that I first heard Labelle’s cover of “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” Holy crap.

neanderthal-
lol i hated case back then! he definitely had some jams in retrospect.

yes, was gonna say just that:

Andrea Martin was a *serious* songwriter who really never made it as an artist in her own right.
just check her Wikipedia.

especially this section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Martin_(musician)#In_the_charts_as_a_writer

she died in 2021, sadly.

damn! undetermined cause of death...

i love that adina howard track.

the whole album is good, btw. def recommend.

so tempted to do a loose ends albums poll.

love that case song so much

i'd like to go back to the classics for a moment—

bohannon — "singing a song for my mother" (1973)

more of rock song but was just listening to definition of a band and was kind of blown away by it.

"This was played at Watts Club Mozambique In Detroit , MI male exotic male strip club classic jam r.i.p. watts club Mozambique"

classic internet comment

I wasn’t consciously aware of “Swing My Way” by K.P. & Envyi – tho looks like it was a fairly big hit, I’m sure I heard it at the time. The breakdown section is great…

I adored that record when it came out…all time classic imo

yeah, that's a certified banger back where i'm from. i consider it just a small tier below other alltimers like "my boo"

top shelf mid/late-90s r&b/bass hybrid for sure

erm?

idesia - "nu" (2015)

not something super old, but a jam that's been on my mind a lot lately-

jenevieve - "deep in the shallow end" (2022)

i love her, btw. first found her thanks to ya'll + this ep is still her most recent thing. this song closes it out + i am at a stage with it where i'm deep diving into the lyrics. but what a bop! the mildly peter hook-y part, the chorus that's ripping off something i can't place rn, the whole 'underneath the wave' coda... this jam is an entire meal.

Yeah, this is really nice... "Love Quotes" (from the same EP) was one of my faves that year :)
