Saturday night dance party

First the lyrical original version....



Then the catchy mix that caught my ear...

My iTunes genius recommendations feature that i relied on to find hidden tunes like this one hasn't worked for several years now. I've reached out to apple for help, but i get the feeling if you don't have an applecare contract with them, they are impossible to get a hold of.

So I decided to do the next best thing. Sample their entire dance music catalog. I may never get done, but if i find any more tunes like this one, it'll be worth it.

It's actually as burdensome as it sounds... before the internet good music was harder to find... so i really should not come off as complaining.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

not as burdensome.

There is one minor complaint I have which slows me down.

I'm doing the search by genre, in my case dancing, but, I'm finding other genres popping up every once in awhile.

My theory is whenever or however they created the catalog, they did not go back and clean the mistakes. I'm guessing it's probably automated.

I think i know what's going on with the database. Different artists record in different genres, but if they have the same name... walla, they pop up in genres where they aren't supposed to.

It's kind of like that vet who's on the no-fly list i posted about awhile ago. The vet has the same name as a terrorist.

Why did you like this? What is the appeal here? Specifically.

Because I can state my objections specifically, why it holds no appeal for me and probably will never even if I try harder or it becomes more insistent as earworm. It's a woman's song for women about a woman complaining about something I cannot, will not, care about.

I'm being kind.

It takes too long to layer representation of instrumentation. Not anything wrong with progression or there would be nothing left of Bolero but it must be interesting and not merely ticked off. It must go somewhere more interesting than a woman's complaint.

Contrary to all this are musicians so fierce they bring out the fierceness in musicians by their mere proximity. It's exciting to see.

Them being there brings out the best in musicians around them. You can see it, you can feel it and relate somehow with your own experience. Jeff Dell did this with me. His sign with me is so extremely precise like a computer driven electronic typewriter smacking perfect signs in sequence that it forces me to clean up my whole act. It's a total snap to attention.

And infuriatingly it's not on i-Tunes, not available on Amazon. Just some spontaneous thing in the park, maybe planned spontaneity like a planned pot luck, I don't know, but it's brilliant: My present fave that I'm hooked on like crack and I mean it. I don't even like the instruments but this music has me in thrall. I bought everything they have. Like a junkie looked for more. Desperate for more. And found it. The collaboration in Washington Square Park last Fall. Moon Hootch is an able band on their own but when teamed up with Too Many Zooz then musicians compete for love excellence to extraordinary results.

To get the song in your i-Tunes you must give the address to another site, search [youtube to mp3] and it will do it all for you, extract the audio, save as MP3 to your downloads file and add it to your i-Tune library.

Their gift to you. Like a street pusher getting us hooked on heroine so we eventually empty our pockets.

The children in France covered their ears and moved away but they were right front and in a tight subway station. And I wonder how children would respond to this otherwise. How would my dancing nephews who listen to goofy children things? Grown children find it irresistible. You see they cannot hold still if they tried. But I wonder about young ones. You have to admit the sounds are harsh even as they completely out of control like a choreographed fifteen car pileup except elephants. On ice.

I don't know that i can answer that.

Whenever I buy or ad a new song to iTunes, I overwrite the genre label column with the year that the song came out. Unfortunately, iTune updates tend to wipe this out, so I no longer update iTunes. Genius doesn't recognize my chronology though. For example, picking one song from 1966 will not generate a song list from that era as I would like it to do.
