#18: Public Image Ltd. – Happy? 12″ (1989) Vinyl Download

*download below*

Here’s a dancy little disc conjured up from the brain of John Lydon or, as he’s better known from his day with the Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten.  Don’t expect any of the Sex Pistols sound here, however.  The Pistols’ punk-in-the-trunk makes way for the supremely 80′s fashion-blasted post-punk slathered in these tracks.  Well, I guess it’s post-punk.  A lot of things came after punk: Miley Cyrus, Y2K, Crest White Strips.  I suppose it’s post-ragtime as well.  Music genre names are retarded.

Anyway, it’s a carnivalesque song dressed up in a hot pink polyester blouse with large foam shoulder pads.  The remixes are a bit more fun than the original but the album cut is peppy enough in its own right.  I also have another full length album entitled Happy? from 1987 by Public Image Ltd which strangely doesn’t contain any songs with its namesake.  Maybe it will make it’s way on here with a bit of encouragement.

Check the original mix.

#16: Danny Tenaglia – Tourism (1998) vinyl

*download below*

“I’m your DJ and I’m going to take you on a tour of a 12 inch.  Yes, a 12 inch.”

Here’s another treat from Sneadles in LAser.  This monster four disc dance, trance, grab-a-man-wherever-you-want-electronic album might go down as the most unapologetic ass-shaking club vinyl collection for the ages.  Imagine yourself in a huge, dark club surrounded by pulsing strobes, dripping bodz, and the smell of lovejuice.  This is what’s playing in that club–now and forever.  Don’t fight the feeling cuz it’s already done.

It’s one of those albums that, yet again, can’t be quantified with nouns and verbs.  And yes it is best enjoyed while drinking heavily and imbibing any number of rainbow colored pills but it can also be enjoyed stone sober if you’re in the right mood.  It’s a dance album that, once you get into the groove, makes time slow down and things seem simpler and more complex at the same time.  Of course that doesn’t make sense now but it will.  It will also make you feel silly for wasting all of your time on Paul Van Dyk.  My personal favorite from the album is track number two, Elements.

#5: Junior Boys – Dead Horse EP (2007) VINYL Download

*download below*

I’m a big fan of Junior Boys and, for the most part, remixes.

So after playing Junior Boys’ latest full length album Begone Dull Care on my CD player about 50 billion times it seemed like the perfect time to change it up a bit and revisit the Dead Horse EP based upon its fusion of the aforementioned traits.

These remixes, by Hot Chip, Tensnake, Carl Craig, and Kode 9 all border on the verge of dance but not really to the point of Indian Rain Boogie Foot Stomping.  They’d be more at home at the end of a really fast, really loud DJ set when everyone is drenched with sweat and the dance floor smells like PBR, cheap champagne and  blown fuses.  Any one of these tracks could come on and you’d squeeze in closely with your newly-courted boo and shimmy and sway the rest of the night away in post-party euphoria.

Soak it in.

Track List

1. In the Morning (Hot Chip Remix)

2. FM (Tensnake Remix)

3. Like A Child (Carl Craig Remix)

4. Double Shadow (Kode 9 Remix)

#1: DJ Magic Mike & Vicious Base – It’s Automatic (1991) vinyl

vicious base

*download below*

This is one the diamonds in the rough that I picked up from WMSR, Miami’s University’s student radio station, right before they liquidated their entire inventory of vinyl.  What initially caught my attention was the totally badass cover.  I mean just look at it.

Look at those two pimps standing triumphantly on stage with the most insanely large speaker setup ever convieved.  I mean the stacks are actually set up on top of a huge subwoofer–the turntables are magically impervious to the subsonic bass pounding the writhing all-sexy-lady audience.

And just look at those buxom beauties, just crawling their way up to the crotchal regions of Magic Mike and Crew.  How can they resist their midnight black leather suits and lustrous 24k gold chains?  I know if I was there I probably wouldn’t be able to either.

Oh, and there’s a bitchin’ primary colored light stack.  Epic.

The album is pretty much what you’d expect from the cover–kinda in the vein of 69 Boyz’ eternal classic “Tootsie Roll” but also packin’ a sock full of quarters just in case shit gets real.

To fully enjoy this album I highly recommend that you listen with nothing less than 12 inch woofers driven by, at the absolute minimum, 100 watts each.  The bass, or BASE in Magic Country, is the real reason peep this.  It’s a nonstop onslaught of  sub 50hz pummeling that has to be felt to be appreciated.  It’s the kind of bass that just makes you want to rollerskate frontwards, backwards, and all crosslegged in an eternal thump- in-the-trunk driven loop of euphoria.
