BackTRACKin': EBTG "Each and Every One"

Everything But the Girl "Each and Everyone" and "Rollercoaster" (Live)

Okay, I won't lie... I got up on this song not too long ago. I've always been a fan of Everything But the Girl, Ben Watt remixes and al that, just never went in hella deep on past albums. When I was crate diggin' a few months back, I came up on this record. This is my $h!t... The video above is the live version of this ...

Oh yeah, and its officially of Summer here in the States. Yessss.

Swing Out Sister- "Twilight World"

I have to thank my mom for the lovefest about to take place...

As a kid in the 80s, I really only listened to what my mom listened to- Wham!, Sade, Tears For Fears, Basia, and of course Swing Out Sister. These were groups I loved way before I could name a hip-hop group. About as close as it got to hip-hop in my house was Bob James' "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" or the KING OF R&B's best album "Don't Be Cruel"...

Swing Out Sister's brand of Sophisti-Pop is probably my biggest personal influences. Lush string arrangements, solid topic matter, fresh chords, and intelligent pop sensibility- a lot of the ideals I use to guide my own brand of SOPHISTI-SLAP (yes, term invented by me).

"Twilight World" is my favorite song from them, followed by HELLA others...

I only bring all this up now because I get to see them for the FIRST TIME EVER at Bimbo's in San Francisco- Tonight!

And I'm taking my mom.
Do I seem excited?
Good.
