Living in the real world is hard to do but that’s why God and bars created happy hours. And low and behold the best of happy hours is happening today at my favorite Miami watering hole: GRAMPS. Chicken wings, endless champizzle and great dance music provided by Blog Party and yours truly. Skip the gym and bring your sneakers ladies, its a no brainer.
Girls of Gramps hosts every Wednesday and I’ll be playing some old house and classic dance tracks from 9-12am. Check out the live stream via Wynwood Radio.
Here’s a video playlist I made to get you pumped:
There’s a new mix out there for you! I hope you like my retro-rock-n-roll shenanigans! Because you know I’m serious about being awesome. No but really, if you like fun, you’ll like this mix.
Download SL/LS: It’s Still Rock & Roll To Me
Lastly if you want it on a CD send me a 1.25 worth of postage and I’ll send it your way! Send me an email: unemorue at gmail dot com. Keeping it old school as always.
It’s time to get wildly obsessed about a good ol’ pop song and play it over and over. but fair warning: it’s definitely more on the female, emotional, kate bush tip, so, not for everyone.
Even the simplicity of the video, (if you can call it a video looks more like art) is beautiful. well done. well done.
after watching other versions i think i might be more in love with the production. hello Dan Carey and David Kosten! you are my new heart throbs!
so yeah this song will definitely leave you wanting more. check out this recent pitchfork cover story on Bat’s for Lashes; i warn you in advanced it a little too cute but you’ll love it. i also think Stereogum’s interview is worth reading up on other songwriter’s methods.
They totally kill it in this live version! So inspirational. <3
Last Saturday we witnessed a great collaboration between friends and institutions; billed Planetarium: Krautrock at the Museum of Science and Planetarium. I doubt anything west of the Atlantic has ever occurred before, definitely not in Miami, Florida!
Not only was there great visuals by Dylan Romer and Kevin Arrow but the musical pairing by Romulo Del Castillo was top notch. Here a sample track:
If it’s love that you want
Baby you’ve got it
From the depth of my soul
Baby you’ve got it
But I’ve been watching you
And I don’t think that you’re game
Girl there’s no need to explain
Anyway that you want me
Anyway that you’ll take me
Anyway that you’ll make me be part of you
Anyway that I know
There are dreams in your heart
Where love lasts forever
From the depth of my soul
I’ll make them come true
But I’ve been watching you
And I don’t think that your’re game
Girl there’s no need to explain
Anyway that you want me
Anyway that you’ll take me
Anyway that you’ll make me be part of you
Anyway that I know
Anyway that you want me
Anyway that you’ll take me
Anyway that you’ll make me be part of you
Anyway that I know
Anyway that you want me
Anyway that you’ll take me
Anyway that you’ll make me be part of you
Anyway that I know..
Baby has gained some popularity in the last few years, i sleep under a rock and must thank hugo montoya for playing this for me last night.
buy the album by donnie and joe emerson at light in the attic. great back story too.
lyrics:
Oooh baby, oooh baby
When we’re out in the moon light
Lookin’ up on the stars above
Feels so good when I’m near you
Holdin’ hands and makin’ love
Oooh Baby, yes oh baby
Yes oh baby, yes oh baby
Sandy beach, was makin’ love
As a tide moves in on us
Feels so good walking side by side
Wanna be with you all my life
Oooh Baby, yes oh baby
Yes oh baby, yes oh baby
Dreams of you all the time
Feels so good when we’re together love
Just can’t wait until tomorrow night
Hey baby let’s shake it
Oh hey Baby, hey hey baby
Yes oh baby, yes oh baby
When we’re out in the moon light
Lookin’ up on the stars above
Feels so good when I’m near you
Holdin’ hands and makin’ love
Oooh Baby, yes oh baby
Yes oh baby, yes oh baby
Yes oh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Sandy beach, was makin’ love
As a tide moves in on us
Feels so good walkin’ side by side
Wanna be with you all my life
Oooh Baby, yes oh baby
Yes oh baby, yes oh baby
I received this album in the mail while I was living in Paris in 2005, its by an old band mate of mine from the late 90s. He’s been in so many music projects over the years that range in sound from super experimental to this shoe gazy warm wave pop (yes i just made that up) :
If you like that, don’t be shy, listen to the full album here, my 2nd favorite track is Omega Does 40. The rest of the album gets weird at times, check it out here:
