STEVE-O's PICK FOR MONDAY, MAY 24, 2010

By Steve-O on 5/24/2010

[AUDIO OFFLINE]

ARTIST: Herb Alpert

TITLE: Keep Your Eye On Me [Remix] X

LABEL: 1987, A&M

In 1987, trumpet prodigy Herb Alpert went into the studio with Janet Jackson's production team, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, to make some funky dance music. Janet herself sang on a few of the songs including the hit, Diamonds. This song, the title track from the resulting album, sounds suspiciously like Janet's song, "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" --Steve-O

STEVE-O's PICK FOR MONDAY, MAY 17, 2010

By Steve-O on 5/17/2010

[AUDIO OFFLINE]

ARTIST: Corey Hart

TITLE: Boy in the Box [Green Mix] X

LABEL: 1985, EMI

This week's track comes from the unofficial "third" Corey. Still considered a one-hit wonder by some, on the strength of "Sunglasses At Night." But fans know otherwise. --Steve-O

STEVE-O's PICK FOR MAY 3, 2010

By Steve-O on 5/3/2010

[AUDIO OFFLINE]

ARTIST: Space Monkey

TITLE: On the Beam

LABEL: 1985, MCA

Space Monkey was multi-instrumentalist Paul Goodchild and a revolving collection of session musicians (including Adrian Lee of Mike & the Mechanics on synthesizers.) The cover art just doesn't get more eighties than that delightful backlit photo. --Steve-O

By Steve-O on 4/19/2010

[AUDIO OFFLINE]

ARTIST: Paul Hardcastle

TITLE: 19 [Remix] X

STEVE-O's PICK FOR MONDAY, APRIL 12, 2010

By Steve-O on 4/12/2010

[AUDIO OFFLINE]

ARTIST: Malcolm McLaren

SONG: Buffalo Gals [Album Mix] X

LABEL: Island, 1983

I originally posted this last year as a bonus track under Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance," to illustrate the source of a few of her samples. Eminem would later borrow the Buffalo Gals line and parody it using "trailer park girls." I am reposting it now under the sad circumstance of Malcolm's death in Switzerland this past week. People will always connect his name with the Sex Pistols and their influence on punk in the late 70's, but let's not forget Malcolm's own brilliant music made with members of the Art of Noise. Let's also remember that like God taking Adam's rib to create Eve, Malcolm took several of Adam's Ants to create Bow Wow Wow. Generally hated by everyone he ever worked with, Malcolm still had enormous influence on music, fashion, and even movies in his fascinating lifetime. Goodbye Mr. McLaren! --Steve-O

TITLE: Rush [Remix] X

LABEL: Columbia, 1991

[AUDIO OFFLINE]

ARTIST: Darling Buds

TITLE: Long Day in the Universe [Remix] X

LABEL: Chaos, 1992

Gotta love a soundtrack that has multiple takes on "There She Goes" including the original La's version and a remake by the Boo Radleys (though not Sixpence None the Richer's later recording obviously.) The soundtrack also boasts Toad the Wet Sprocket, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, and a Big Audio Dynamite remix. As you re-discover the Darling Buds song, notice how there is no rhyme or reason to the lyrics, literally! --Steve-O
