... wanted to narrate this time but can't seem to get this $9.99 Chinese Gosseneck (sic) Condenser Microphone adjusted right - looks like i might have to wait for $ to get REAL mike.
Anyway, back in the day ('77 -'79) there was a club in Baltimore called Odells' (You'll Know If You Belong) - i was the interior design & graphics guy - DJ Wayne, the originator of 'House" , winner of #1 DJ in the country award numerous times, more recently of R. Kelly video fame, was the DJ - those were heady, idealistic times - the music had messages (as trite as some of that stuff seems now), race, sex & class weren't going to matter, etc, etc.......we fell prey to the" South American Invasion" - i watched that dream die a geekin', shriveled-up death - we've watched Rave go circling down that same toilet drain - Have we learned our lesson?
One thing i learned was that if we can preen, posture, shake, shimmy & sway to attract a partner, than we can "talk" about our differences, frustrations, pain, etc. on the dance floor as well. You can make faces, jump up & down, wave your hands all around & get everything that's on your mind out without folks thinkin' u losin' u mind...
Follow the story arc from the wish-full projection of 'Call Me' ,'Your Love Is Mine' & 'Make It Sweet' to the "arguing" of 'Can't Get Thru' & 'I'm Not Perfect' - our imaginary couple takes their 'Medicine' & ain't nothin' but a party from there...
So, argue, fuss, talk, discuss, it's OK as long as you ALSO Dance & Make Romance .........

Playlist:

Call me - Probe DMS remix of an 80's classic
Your Love Is Mine - Cafe dAfrique f. Corinne Bailey Rae - the track that the BBC picked single of the week -we know the rest
Make it Sweet - Coke Escovedo f. Linda Tillery
Can't Get Thru 2 U - Miguel Migs (winner of Immpeccable Production Award hands down)
Medicine - Mark Rae - Kraak & Smaak (!) remixes
I'm Not Perfect - Qqqqqueen of Clubs, Ms. Grace Jones
Ochimini - Spam All Stars
Que Bom - Mocean Worker
JJD -Rhythm Roots Allstars
Sat. Nite Experience - Jody Watley - Ms. Soul Train, Shalimar, Solar Records Herself
