#63: Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine – Rhythm Is Gonna Get You Special 12″ Dance Mix (1987) Vinyl Download

The Special Dance version of  ”The Rhythm is Gonna Move You” is more or less the same song albeit longer and markedly more dramatic. The dub version on this disc is where things get really interesting. The song starts off with a funky synth part that is reminiscent of the intro to Harold Faltermeyer’s song “Axel Foley,” which is better known as the theme song for Beverly Hills Cop. It then takes its many detours through Conga Junction, New Wave Fashion Catwalk Way and Synthesizer Station. The end result is an terrifically exotic song jammed pack with the mesmerizing “Ooooayyyoooaaayyyy…..OoooayyyooooOOOOOOOahhhh”  hook throughout. Hip whip outta this world.

#44: Daft Punk – Daft Club (2003) Discovery Remixes Vinyl Download

*download below*

Daft Club was first introduced online shortly after the French duo dropped Discovery. The songs were available for free download as a bonus for purchasing a legit copy of Discovery.  If you bought this you’ll remember opening up the CD case and finding a curious little Daft Card attached behind the plastic CD nipple thing. Initially the address on the front  just led to their fan page and not much else so it stayed dormant in my wallet for some time.

Luckily I kept checking back periodically and one day found the Daft Club MP3 collection unlocked by the individualized 16-digit number on the card’s face.  At first I was megapumped for a batch of free songs by my fav group but soon found out the horrible truth:  the sound quality was total shit.  I could never get into any of the new original songs or remixes because they literally hurt my ears.  I’m still dumbfounded that MP3s from one of the best produced groups on the globo were plagued with the terrible treble shimmer that dominated low bitrate rips throughout the dawn of the 21st century.

Flashforward to 2005.  I was flipping through the used bin at Everybody’s Records in Pleasant Ridge and what’s this?  Daft Club in all its square foot glory staring, maybe even giggling mischievously, at me in the midst of a slew of anonymous electronic records.  “What are you doing here little man?” I thought.

How could this have happened?  At the time I didn’t even know that Daft Club had made it onto CD, let alone vinyl.  And second, who would have let this gem fall into the grabby hands of the used bin?  Somebody fucked up hard.

Long story short, I got this baby home and an everlasting love flourished. We’ve been to several Fancytown Balls, taken weekend trips down Frogtown Road, and shared endless pints of Rocky Road. I keep her secrets and she mine.

But it might have never happened. I might have been forever stuck with her free floozy sister.  I can’t even imagine. Just the thought of those MP3s puts a terrible ring-a-ling-dingin in my fragile ears.  Luckily baby’s medicine is just down below.

#43: Daft Punk – Around The World (Virgin Records America Promotional 12″) 1996 Vinyl Download

*download below*

In 8th grade Daft Punk hit the scene and turned my world upside down.  At the time  I was wading in a sea of shitty punk and ska bands at Hopewell Junior School; just barely keeping my head above the turdy foam threatening to extinguish my angsty being.

Suddenly a lifeboat emerged on the horizon in the shape of Michel Gondry’s stupidly simple yet fantastically brilliant video for Around The World:

My 13-year-old “brain” didn’t know what I was seeing but loved it. The song and the video were such an enigma–how could such basic elements of sight and sound evoke this potent feeling of digital empowerment from deep within my pubescent belly?  I didn’t know then and to be honest I still don’t know now.  But it still gets my ass shake shake shakin’ none the less.

The Dead Milkmen are some goofy bastards but they do make a solid point in this album’s title track and its various dong-inspired remixes. If you want to dance then by all means throb that bod but don’t clog the floor with pussified pouty posing. You creeps know who you are. The feature artists lay it thick in the following lyrics:

Don’t try to tell me that you’re an intellectual
Cause you’re just another boring bisexual
“I met Andy Warhol at a really chic party”
Blow it out your hairdo ’cause you work at Hardees
80 pounds of make up on your art school skin
80 points of I.Q. located within

Know what you are? You’re a bunch of …
Artfags! Artfags! Artfags! Artfags!
Choke on this you dance-a-teria types!

It’s nearly impossible to comprehend the perfect symbiosis between Back to the Future and “The Power of Love” .  I mean can you seriously imagine watching M.J. Fox skitch on the back of that Wrangler through downtown Hill Valley without the bitchin’ soundtrack?  I refuse to accept even the notion of a reality where anyone, let alone the deviously charming Michael J., could make it through a scene thrashing along to this song:

Okay, so maybe I can picture that if it was Alec Baldwin (if he took a modded DMC-12 back 5 years to the set of Miami Blues)on that skateboard.  However, Dr. Emmitt Brown would never have accepted Alec Baldwin as a scrappy protege with a heart of gold so that scenario goes right out the window.  No, “The Power of Love” was this flash of brilliance, something that won’t be rivaled for the next century at the absolute minimum.

But…there is one thing that is better than The Power of Love.  That single thing, so monumental it’s said to be inscribed in the footnotes of the Rosetta Stone, is The Power of Love EXTENDED DANCE MIX.  Yes, your eyes have not deceived you.  It does exist and is hermetically sealed within the .zip file encased at the bottom of this entry.  Just don’t look directly into it.  Only the good Lord knows what will happen.

***As a side note it should be mentioned that The Power of Love has legitimate therapeutic value.  When I was just over 2 years old I, like many children that age, had a mild speech impediment.  I assure you it was entirely adorable and not annoying in the slightest sense.  My L’s and R’s, perhaps from too many Freeze Pops, were transformed cruelly into W’s without any warning so that Power of Love became Powew of Wuv.

I can remember the exact moment whenI realized my mouth was betraying me.  I was sitting in the back of my parent’s station wagon in Salt Lake while we were pulling into our apartment complex.  The Power of Love was playing on the radio and I was singing along because it’s physically impossible not to.  I was just having a gay old time when I think it was my cousin pointed out how I was gnarling the consonants beyond recognition.  “It’s PoweRR of LLLove, not PoweWWWW of WWWuvvv.”  Suddenly it was like a switch went off in my little skull and BAM!  I was no longer baby but not yet big boy and unable to cope with the heartbreak associated with joining the little boy crew.  I knew things were changing.  I was ready for action.  I was ready for LOVE.
