It’s been over a week since my last update?!?! It’s midterm time for me right now and that’s kind of eating all my spare time. Learning is totally overrated and stuff. An odd collection of oddities today, including Italian dance music and proto-punk/rap. Enjoy.

Kinky Go
Gimme The Love (Vocal Version)
Gimme The Love (Instrumental)
So there was a genre called ‘Disco Italo’? Who knew? I guess the Italians knew, but whatever. From what I can tell this was the only song Kinky Go ever released…my, what could have been. This song is strangely addictive in a chewing-on-a-cold-sore kind of way.

Erasure
Blue Savannah (Out Of The Blue Mix)
Blue Savannah (Remix/Edit)
Blue Savannah (Blue Dub)
More Erasure equals more happy.

Lou Reed
My Red Joystick (Remix)
My Red Joystick (Instrumental)
Hearing Lou Reed singing about his “red joystick” is a little creepy and weird…even for Lou Reed. These remixes are off of the 12” single for the song. The original version is on New Sensations.

Lou Reed
The Original Wrapper (Extended Version)
The Original Wrapper (Remix Single Version)
The Original Wrapper (Dub Version)
Video Violence (Remix Version)
Okay, as if Lou singing a pop song about his red joystick wasn’t weird enough, Lou raps on ‘The Original Wrapper’ (I guess the title is an AMAZING pun). Both of these tracks are off of a 12” single. The original versions of them are on Mistrial, which is a Lou Reed album most Lou Reed fans can’t stand. I never heard it but I have to say that I’m a little curious about it after hearing these oddball tracks. I should probably buy Transformer first though, there’s probably some music geek rule about that being your first Lou Reed album.
