MUSIC MONDAY

I've been having PALPITATIONS all weekend over this song, I can't even begin to tell you. My lovely roommate recently went on a Babyface kick, and when I overheard him listening to this track which I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE I basically lost my shit, forced him to send it to me, and have been playing it ever since. I mean LOOK AT THIS VIDEO:

I didn't even know there was a music video until I was hunting for the song for this post, but now I can't stop watching it. It's really a miracle.

Also for your ears: my music playlist for the ENTIRE WEEKEND (I'm not kidding) consisted of Usher's U Got it Bad, The Deele's Two Occasions, and also this song, which I had forgotten I loved until I heard it on the soft rock station at a restaurant on Friday.

I am having such a moment with these three tracks right now, and SO SHOULD YOU.

MUSIC MONDAY

To make up for my recent absence from the blogosphere (and for using the word "blogosphere") let's talk about some sweet lady singers that are making my day today.

First, I guess she is kind of old news in the hipster music scene, but I sure do love Class Actress. Neglected for the last few months in the dark caverns of my ipod, shuffle recently reminded me of the sultry Elizabeth Harper and her make-out sesh soundtrack of a musical career. Need some mood music for you and your honey? HERE YOU GO:

And don't fret if your life feels a little less like a make out party and a little more like a party of one; how about you let the Ronettes sing you through your pain? This de-luscious track has also been in heavy rotation on my ipod of late.

In constructing this post I discovered that Ronnie of the Ronettes was at one point married to Phil Spector and was privy to the kind of madness and horror that has now become his legacy. Good for her for getting the hell out! In tribute to Ronnie Spector, another hot lady singing a hot song about GURL POWER. FASH. ION. IS. TA.
