This SSS Fender strat is my 2nd electric guitar. Its shell pink body and mint pickguard gives it a pretty cool retro look, I dig it. And it came with a large hardcase that weighs like an anchor. Have a Nirvana shirt to match🤘

#fender stratocaster #slice of life stuff before my next art update #personal #hard rock #disco funk #metal #surf rock #rock #blues #I could add more genres bc the lovely thing about strats is their versatility #and easy to modify

we won't let nothing hold us back

We're puttin' ourselves together

We're polishing up our act, well

And if you've ever been held down before

I know you refuse to be held down any more

Release: September 18, 2015

Lyrics:

No, no

Oh, no

See you walking 'round like it's a funeral

Not so serious, girl, why those feet cold?

We just getting started, don't you tiptoe

Tiptoe, ah

Waste time with a masterpiece

Don't waste time with a masterpiece

You should be rolling with me

You should be rolling with me, ah

You're a real-life fantasy

But you're moving so carefully

Let's start living dangerously

Talk to me, baby

I'm going blind from this sweet-sweet craving

Whoa-oh

Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean

Walk for me, baby

I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh

Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean

Goddamn

See you licking frosting from your own hands

Want another taste, I'm begging, yes ma'am

I'm tired of all this candy on the dry land

Dry land, oh

Waste time with a masterpiece

Don't waste time with a masterpiece

You should be rolling with me

You should be rolling with me, ah

You're a real-life fantasy

But you're moving so carefully

Let's start living dangerously, whoah

Talk to me, baby

I'm going blind from this sweet craving

Whoa-oh

Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean

Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)

I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh

Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping

We'll eat cake by the ocean (ooh, aah)

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping

We'll eat cake by the ocean (ooh, aah)

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping

We'll eat cake by the ocean (ooh, aah)

You're fucking delicious

Talk to me, girl

Talk to me, baby

I'm going blind from this sweet-sweet craving

Whoa-oh

Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping

We'll eat cake by the ocean

Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)

I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh

Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy

Ah ya ya ya ya

I keep on hoping

We'll eat cake by the ocean

Songwriter:

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life

Confetti, I'm ready, I need it every night

Red velvet, vanilla,

Chocolate in my life (ah ya ya ya ya)

I keep on hoping

We'll eat cake by the ocean

Today’s compilation:

Ultimate Disco 1999 Disco / Post-Disco / Hi-NRG / Disco-Funk / Funk

Boy, do I have an absolutely goated disco compilation for you all today. This jam-packed 1999 release from EMI's French division may start off as what basically amounts to 'baby's first disco comp,' with some of the genre's biggest and most overplayed hits, like "Y.M.C.A.," "I Will Survive," "Hot Stuff," and "That's the Way I Like it," but after the first seven or so tracks, the enormous hits start to appear less and less frequently, and instead we get a slew of bangers that were much more successful in Europe than they were in the States 😊.

In fact, there's a whole current of terrific songs on here that didn't amount to much in the US at all, but managed to become top-fivers in a bunch of European countries, like Shalamar's funky 1982 post-disco bop, "A Night to Remember," which didn't make the US top-40, but was #5 in the UK. And Odyssey's "Going Back to My Roots," UK group Imagination's "Just an Illusion," and San Francisco gay district fixture Boys Town Gang's cover of Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" are all songs that *both* didn't make Billboard's Hot 100 and also weren't top-ten hits on its corresponding Dance chart either! There's some fantastic relative obscurities here, folks!

Some other great tunes on here: The Whispers' "And the Beat Goes On," which was famously sampled by Will Smith for his 1998 hit, "Miami," and then three of my all-time favorite disco hits: Amii Stewart's 1979 cover of Eddie Floyd's "Knock on Wood," which always manages to pop into my head when there's a thunderstorm approaching ⛈; one-hit wonder Patrick Hernandez' "Born to Be Alive," which has been in my head on-and-off now for the past couple of months; and George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby," a song that was one of disco's earliest hits and one that I also think is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Plus, it was also one of the first songs to ever use a drum machine too. So, a really Earth-shattering and game-changing tune in multiple ways right there.

God, I love comps like these from other countries so darn much. You think you know your disco hits and then you discover so many more that didn't make it to your neck of the woods. A really stunning disco collection here.

P.S.: Hip hop's first ever hit, "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang, is on here too. It's both one of the greatest and most important songs ever made, but what you might not know is that it's also a complete and utter fraud. I wrote about it extensively a while back if you'd like to know the whole story behind it 😁.

Highlights:

Village People - "Y.M.C.A." Gloria Gaynor - "I Will Survive" Kool & the Gang - "Ladies Night" Anita Ward - "Ring My Bell" Donna Summer - "Hot Stuff" Patrick Hernandez - "Born to Be Alive" KC and the Sunshine Band - "That's the Way I Like It" The Whispers - "And the Beat Goes On" Shalamar - "A Night to Remember" Michael Zager Band - "Let's All Chant" Odyssey - "Going Back to My Roots" The Sugarhill Gang - "Rapper's Delight" Imagination - "Just an Illusion" George McCrae - "Rock Your Baby" Amii Stewart - "Knock on Wood" Boys Town Gang - "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" Tina Charles - "I Love to Love" Lyn Collins - "Think (About It)" Cerrone - "Supernature"

What the Funk?!

Vol 1. Part 1

The Foundation of Vaporwave: SynthFunk Pioneers

Vaporwave has been one of my favorite niche subgeneres of music for years now and its easy to tell why. I'm an old soul that was born to relatively older parents who grew up in the 1970s and whose primes were in the 1980s and 1990s so soul, funk and rhythm runs through my veins in ways my peers were not able to understand and ostracized me for. Once I latched onto vaporwave, my ear was able to detect many samples from songs I had heard growing up and been exposed to new ones. Vaporwave is slowed-down (or what we in the South called “Chopped and Screwed” back in the day) synth funk and new wave tracks from the 1980s and early 1990s set to colorful nostalgic yet futurist aesthetics and anime from around that time.

It is where the past and the future meet in the middle and dance all night.

And it has become one of the loves of my life, discovering vintage music that makes you want to get up, dance and be happy.

Here are some recent favorites that I have been hooked on since the past year or so.

The System

Rhythm and Romance (1989)

Description: Coming from in my honest opinion perhaps the single most underrated act in funk and R&B in the 1980s, this album fits its title perfectly. Mic Murphy and David Frank are literally on fire in this album even though none of their past efforts left anything to be desired either. They were vaporwave before vaporwave was a thing. To me, their pop flavored, R&B blessed, synth funk sound and angsty romantic lyrics are quintessential vaporwave material. There is no way you can listen to this album and not want to move, not want to groove, not want to have fun. What they lacked in mainstream success, they more than made up for in giving us the textbook definition of a "buried treasure" in multiple projects that I feel privileged to have dug up. Though having already been making music together for the majority of the decade at this point, the duo arguably hit their zenith on this album and the groove tells it.

Standout Tracks:

Midnight Special

Soul to Soul

Have Mercy

Kashif

Kashif (1983)

Description: Here is another synth funk pioneer who didn't get near the mainstream appreciation that he should have. But being primarily a producer, its natural that he stayed relatively behind the scenes but this time he truly let himself shine through some of the grooviest, smoothest synth baselines you will probably ever hear in your life. His programming and keyboarding skills set the tone for later funkateers such as Teddy Riley and Babyface to take to another level in the 1990s. However, Kashif and this project stand as the prototype in its their own right with synth and baselines both ahead of its time and someone just right on time for his era. RIP to the Great Kashif and before falling down the rabbit hole of his productions for others, hear the man shine on his own in this vaporwave masterclass.

Standout Tracks:

I Just Gotta Have You (Lover Come Turn Me On)

Help Yourself to My Love

Stone Love

Loose Ends

Zagora (1986)

Description: In the abundant world of 1980s dance music, the Brits had something to say. And no one made it as loud and clear as the funk, house and R&B group Loose Ends. These folks produced some of the most addictive combinations of House music and synth funk ever heard on record and set the tone for House music to become the penultimate underground genre in the early 1990s with R&B House legends like Crystal Waters and Soul II Soul. Though their discography goes deep, this album presents them at maybe the height of their powers, delivering a world class synth funk album just before hip hop influenced New Jack Swing came the following year to take over the R&B music scene.

Standout Tracks:

Stay a Little While Child

Slow Down

Ooh You Make Me Feel

Shalamar

Friends (1983)

Description: Achieving perhaps the most mainstream success out of anyone on this list, it's easy to see why Shalamar is still celebrated as icons of early 1980s dancefloor scene to this day. In a time where supergroups still dominated the funk and R&B scene, these three forged their own path and released some of the funkiest grooves you will hear from around that time. What made their sound stand out came from their unique mixture of standard R&B and funk with the then-new new wave scene that was coming out of Britain. As a result, their music has stood the test of time and influenced vaporwave mixes produced by both Black and white, British and American lovers of the genre alike. In my opinion, this album is their most solid and serves to represent the danceable, funky feel of the entire 1980s.

Standout Tracks:

I Can Make You Feel Good

Help Me

There It Is
