Some more "recent" selections this week. (I guess, to me, "recent" means "after 1989") This song has a zillion remixes and they all rule, but here's the original. Happy Monday!

CRZ-263
Lily Allen
The Fear
2009

As the year goes on it looks less and less like I've grouped these selections into any kind of cohesion. I have no idea why this one came up on this day. By now I'm just typing in words to fill the space. Are you still reading?

CRZ-262
The Crystal Method
Now Is The Time
1994

This was the last 45 I bought. Fortunately, it had a tiny hole so I wasn't breaking my No Adapter Needed promise when I played it at Day Block a few months back. Also, this video is a trip.

Every time he does this live it's different. This was the one that made the live collection and it always makes me smile. Have a great weekend!

I kept wondering if a theme would develop this week but "longer tracks" seems to be the best we can come up with. Here's an awesome B side that later snuck onto the CD.

CRZ-259
The Sisters of Mercy
Colours
1987

This one was included in an Essential Mix and I got a little obsessed with it. It took years before an online copy was available, but nowadays you could get it for under a buck on Amazon, I think. I think that's how I ended up with my digital copy. I'm boring myself even. That's OK, this track is over ten minutes so you need a little more to read.

Happy Monday! Here's an old "With Sympathy"-era Ministry single that never really got released, yet this video exists (and Alain - sorry, Al - probably HAAAAAAATES it - but I don't!) Happy Monday!

Switching back to The KLF to close out this week...this is a definite ambient favourite. Have a great weekend!

One of my most favourite Orb remixes, back when they were still called Orbital mixes (before Orbital complained). Don't know how familiar you are with this Depeche Mode B side, but believe me the original version is NOTHING like this one!

I really love when The Orb takes a known track and distorts it into something almost recognisable. Here's a pretty good example. I'll have another good one tomorrow! (By the way...this one wasn't on YouTube, so I put it there myself. If I can successfully avoid the copyright police, I'll try doing this more in the future, so let me know if you have any requests!)

Still thinking about last night's show. I guess they've been doing this one a while. (Bonnie Raitt & Richard Thompson - Dimming of the Day)

An Orb remix of a KLF classic (see last Saturday) - we're really intertwined now...

Just before the left the music business, we were treated to maybe The KLF's finest hour. Well, not this. There's a live performance I'll have to link later in a comment, but for now....MERRY CHRISTMAS and ENJOY

This was one of the badorb.com projects - Alex's brother Martin was listed as writer/producer and his... father, I think? provided the "vocals." This closed out one of the "Le Petite Orb" DJ sets I attended in San Francisco back in the day and was a pretty emotional moment due to the family involvement.

Shit, it's September already. Two thirds of the way through 2016...but so much music left...

Hey how about another Orb remix? This one was special because, shoot, Tangerine Dream, are you kidding, come on, get outta here. (Actually not a STELLAR track, I must admit... but still neat historically)

CRZ-241
Tangerine Dream

25.8.16 10:23 
Vince always loved the one-offs between long-term gigs. Even after kinda stabilizing with Erasure, he STILL had that VCMG project...but I'm getting ahead of myself (and also not sharing any of those tracks) - the B side of this one is really good, too. Maybe I WILL share that one later today...we'll see if I remember by the time this autoposts.

This song is guaranteed to empty the dancefloor because I think I'm the only person in the world who likes it. (So I bury it on a Sunday, I guess!)

Ooh, another Shooter Jennings video from the Countach LP! <3 <3 <3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1_hdM1NGf4
18.8.16 12:23 
Hey, this album is coming back in a big way! This track really has nothing to do with what I've been sharing this week, other than I really like it...but that applies to EVERYTHING I share, so...um....I got nothing. That's OK.

So much more than a cool breakdance album, although it is certainly a cool breakdance album, this track always felt like it was way ahead of its time.

Sometimes it's a marvel I heard ANY of this stuff on the radio when I did. I owe "Hot Rock 102" a lot, I guess. Probably the first "Miami bass" I was exposed to in the center of California.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWuF0BiYhps
9.8.16 09:23 
Another song which went through multiple iterations, and probably the one you heard first was the one you thought was the best. Hmmm, we're kind of turning into a freestyle week...

WOW this is a very "eighties" video

CRZ-222
