I'd like to say tomorrow that today the subject was roses, but once again, it's death. Today's sub-topic: Does it really come in threes? I'm not talking about famous people dying in groups of three. I've never seen any consistent, compelling evidence to support this theory/urban myth. I'm talking about threesomes. What is it about them? If one is the loneliest number and two's company, is three totally unlucky? Consider musical trios, like Beastie Boys. Too often, it seems, one member gets taken from us way to soon. The latest example of the law [...]

Paloma shook her head at the commercial which promised three nights airing National Lampoon's Vacation to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Clark Griswald's trek to California. She knew that I - having not seen it in glorious HD - would be unable to resist the sirens' song. She has often heard me echo the query of Imogene Coca's deranged Aunt Edna - "Am I gonna eat? Or am I gonna starve to death?" and is good natured enough to have not brained me. There was a time that I could have recited [...]
It's always great hearing a remix of the newest track, but it's also just as cool hearing a classic track from years ago pumped full of modern electronic bass. Today I've got a crunchy new electro house take on the track 'Automatic' from 802s stars Pointer Sisters. It's got an 802s vibe, but with the pounding bass you can't get enough of . It's done by DJ Kue and The SNDCLSH, (The SNDCLSH is actually Lupe Fiasco's new DJ Project Turn it up, enjoy! Pointer Sisters - Automatic (SNDCLSH & Dj Kue Remix) | [...]
Pointer Sisters. Nothing wrong with that.
French lingerie brand Etam pulled out all the stops at their Paris Fashion Week runaway show recruiting Grace Jones , Chaka Khan , Sister Sledge , Gloria Gaynor & The Pointer Sisters to model outfits and perform on the runaway! Grace Jones alone would have been enough to get me excited but when you add Chaka Khan who is another of my favorite divas, and some of disco's finest in the mix, [...]

Some 802s classic beats for you today. During a time when disco was dying hard a few people. like Bonnie Pointer, tried to revive it ti no avail. That is why many people nowadays are most nostalgic about an era that didn't get what it deserved. Still, this is a lesser hit from the early 80s' meander from disco to synth.

Today I watched the footage of Chromeo performing live on the Jimmy Fallon Show, with Solange Knowles (major babe alert) - watch here. An amazing rendition of the song, and loved seeing it live with Solange. The inspiration for this post, however isn't from the performance, although it probably did inspire a few immaculate conceptions [...]
