Listen. Now.

I wasn't looking for a hookup last night. In fact, I wasn't even feeling remotely romantic. Then again, romance didn't play a huge role in my thought process upon a completely accidental discovery of Terry Farley's nite:life 4, an album that's been out for a while now (2001), but quite possibly the best to-date mix of late-night, deep house tracks from the likes of Danny Tenaglia and Peace Division. This is what music would sound like if it had a 9" cock and fucked you for 63 minutes, non-stop. I had it on repeat last night for four hours. And I need a glass-a wat-ah.

'Cause this is the first song but definitely not the song. I know that you are liquid, for I'm the governess of alone. The things I've imagined we'd do would really quite astound you -- I don't do 'em, I just feel 'em -- and two times two is chicken. I am your state of mind. So why can't you be exactly like me? Exactly like me.

Like Madonna, so emotional, no car wreck, suicide, stairway so unclimbable, no house to hide inside. Your house, your house, your house I will explore: your cold marble floors and secret doors, the fine lines of your architecture. And if you need me, I'll come and see thee, and be your visitor. We'll play kissy kissy and have a baby and figure out: What we live for.

I am your state of mind. I am your state of mind. So why can't you be exactly like me?

--Exactly Like Me,

Close to Home

Five o’clock, I don’t know what to do
It’s much too late to call,
Just as soon go and see you.

If I arrive with a suitcase at your door,
Would you throw your arms around me,
Would we make love on the floor?

We lead different lives,
Sleep in different beds,
Sleep in different countries,
While your voice plays in my head.

If I tried to be smarter than before,
Would you tell me that you missed me,
Would you love me even more?

It feels right.
Will you remember me?
You’re alright.
Just think of me and you’re always close to home.

Deep is Good

Scott and Dave donated a $50 gift certificate to the Virgin Megastore to get my ass some new music (ok, it was a birthday present, thanks guys) and I spent a good four hours last Thursday perusing the music-store-to-end-all-music-stores, looking for some good replacements for my worn out collection. The album you see to your left is probably the best deep house I've heard in a while. Mixed by Timewriter, the CD features intricately syncopated beats over a easy four-four rhythm. A few of the tracks even boast mellow horns and jazzy vocals, but the feature that makes this CD really amazing is by far the groovy, non-stop beat. If you love deep house, or just haven't heard it before, be sure to check this one out.
