All Night Long! This one's been on my radar for the past week, since I re-discovered it via Body Language 's Slo+Mo Dis+Co mixtape I shared last week. Rick James protege's the Mary Jane Girls delivered us a delicious jam back in '83 - when that chorus kicks in I swear the colors change in the room. I can see again! Originally featured on the Mary Jane Girls album, All Night Long has been sampled [...]
It's that time again y'all.. around the same time last year Jazzy Jeff & Mick Boogie joined forces for UNDRCRWN to lay down their soundtrack to Summer 2010, a giant mashup of the sunshine jawns... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Wow, has it really been another two weeks already? Time seems to be flying by, which normally I'm all about in the cold winter months, but now that the temperatures are consistently above ridiculous, I'd like things to slow down a bit, though I don't see that happening any time soon. As we move into summer, the night becomes much more exciting. Mostly because it's not excruciating to stand outside, but also because there's nothing quite like driving with the windows down on a warm summer night. And that, my friends, is my tie in to [...]
So, it's hard to do Hypem Hunting every week. So, we're probably just going to do it every other week. Is that OK with you? I hope so, because you have no choice. This week the theme is "night". I hope I haven't used that one already. I'm actually in a bit of a rush because I just foudn out I won tickets to see Here We Go Magic, and I gots to leave real soon. So, hope this isn't the worst Hypem Hunting ever. I don't think it's bad though. In [...]
SUPERFREAK GIRL-GROUP SOUL - Assembled by none other than Rick James himself The Mary Jane Girls tore up the US hit parade in the early eighties. Applying the tried and tested formulae for pop ascendancy Rick James orchestrated his band to adopt individual personas in an effort to pander to the record buying public. From the cover art it's abundantly clear what these personas were and what they were supposed to imply. From left to right: Candice "Candi" Ghant - [...]

I got a gal pal named Keisha who recently pointed out to me that thugs are #1. Which is kind of true. Actually it's really true. Last night was spent helping her troll through Chicago's Craigslist for thug boyfriends who will treat a bitch good but isn't afraid to have a yelling match in public outside my local 7-11 (Did you know most 7-11's are safe zones? I just found this out the other day while buying cigs and a double gulp. Hells yeah!). Basically, she's looking for a hyper-man. And I'm jumping aboard this ship cause I'm done with [...]

Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry is being reissued, the latest example of getting every piece of pop music every made back out there before the recorded-music industry goes tits-up, and the press release about the new version touts the fact that "We're Not Gonna Take It" was a member of the Filthy Fifteen. That was a list of songs put together in 1985 by the Parents' Music Resource Council, the group of moms who were pretty much the driving force behind the now-ubiquitous "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" stickers on albums deemed too hot for young [...]
The OG is a certified classic. The instrumental was actually released as the b-side to their following single, "Boys," which I just scored from Beautiful World's dollar bin today. As icing on the cake, I've included a rare Danger Mouse blend Ed Blammo put me on to at Tequila Sunrise last summer. Version away selector brothas...

If you have been to a SQDJUQ set in the last month or so, you've heard this mix at some point in the night. There are no surprises here. Just the tried and true.

Before we get into the news of the day, some notes on VH1 Classic's weekend programming, which consisted of the channel showing a chunk of its vault's videos from the '80s in alphabetical order (by artist, then by song). Why the evil geniuses at Viacom wanted to encourage shut-in-ism among the part of its demographic that probably needs sunshine and air more than most is beyond me, but that's probably because I was too busy getting sucked in to give it much thought. 1. Paul McCartney's " Spies Like Us " was, perhaps surprisingly, not [...]
Let the music play on on on on. .. Come join our party, see how we play! If you hadn't notice I love My Morning Jacket. Jim James is a musical genius. MMJ's cover of Lionel Richie 80's hit, "All Night Long, is my favorite cover from Kentucky's finest. They performed the song @ The Fillmore in San Francisco on New Years Eve (12/31/06). It was Jim James' way of telling his fans that he was going to write some pop songs for the next album. [...]
