RECORDS!2
In 1980 Alicia Myers left One Way ("Cutie Pie," "Push") but continued to work with the group's masterminds, Kevin McCord and Al Hudson (One Way used to be Al Hudson & the Partners!) on her solo records for MCA. One Way records had pretty poppin' production which explains the awesome crisp (early digital?) sound on this 12" "You Get the Best From Me (Say, Say, Say,)" and it's magically mechanical (LinnDrum?) beat break down towards the end. Josh has recently taken that beat out for dinner, talked it into bed, and slyly yet gracefully impregnated it with his digital finger fuck (somehow). But he can tell you about that--and that's not why we're here today: the B side has the real beauty. So much more immediate and sincere--although your initial impression might be "melodramatic R&B boogie ballad," give it a fucking chance you asshole!
This is one of my favorite songs of alls the times--deal with it.

I know, i know...i dont know shit about THIS kind of music, but the rew - in his mysterious ways - talked me into listening. i guess that's why we are gathered here today.
nice
very raian-ppoi
i like 1:53 best
fingers crossed on Saturday, 2.2., 2pm. In T-town that would be Saturday 10pm...i m sure you dont have anything better to do then but to think of this girl fighting for her life = phd. Must defend!
good luck carola.
this song is great, nothing over-the-top but just-right feel-good lady-voiced song-styling.
the perfect song for a funeral too, incidentally, what with those grateful lyrics and all.
also, would love to get a peek at some of that finger fucking josh has been up to. that's a new category of music, right? finger fucking?
"Finger fuckin in the park, pissy of Bacardi dark..."
~BIG
Silky smoove REW...
Let's see what the lundy-beast can give us.
We had a session the other night of that afore-mentioned-yet-not-exposed-beat layed under some other recrd-based-fonkiness that sounded quite good, but...we'll see!
But, yes--good luck with it all Carola!
Glad you fucking assholes may have felt this bullshit... I've got only cornier and cornier (which means better) shit to share later!
This song, man, I've been playing it for a number of years, and man, it's just one that feels so nice.
OK, got back home frome DJing some bullshit LOUNGE style even with Shinya, and the place was cool and overall it was fun to rip through some records--went from rocksteady to boogie. That is all.
Sorry, bit drunk, there were some errors with previous post.
Yeah, but really finger fuck is such a cheap way to put it, ryan...
I got my whole hand up in this business, and my brain.
all in all that's a considerable portion of your body to have in something.
now please share with us the mutated offspring this encounter bore.
