Master Mix

The one good thing about the bus ride is that the mind wandering is good for inspiration. All day, I've been alternately humming "Over Like A Fat Rat" and "You Got The Love" (the latter due to Jay-V's request). I'm coming off the truly foot-tapping, finger-drumming (if not ass-shaking since I was too bundled up for that) good time at the Ghostly night also. It reminded me that the one problem I usually have with 419 -- as do the friends when I drag them there -- is that a good dancing music, wanna break out night is so rare there. Well, they made up for that massively. They mined like mad and it was awesome. Plus I got some music swag. Viva Ghostly! Everyone should check out the next installment in June.

Anyhoo, so there I was on the bus humming to myself when I thought that my secret wish is to have an iPod (despite my Mac hatred) if only to play at the iParty. My mind then drifted to Cameo, "Single Life" and I thought how awesome it would be for me to create a late 70s/early 80s synth R&B mix. For the curious, making the cut (not necessarily in this order) was:

Shannon, Let The Music Play
Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, I Wonder If I Take You Home
Rebbie Jackson, Centipede
Cameo, Single Life
The System, You Are In My System
Central Line, Walking Into Sunshine
Sheila E, Love Bizarre
Taana Gardner, Heartbeat
Skyy, Call Me
Vanity 6, Nasty Girl
Mary Jane Girls, In My House
Chaka Khan, I Feel For You
Yarbrough & Peoples, Don't Stop the Music
New Edition, Candy Girl
Rick James, You & I
Peech Boys, Don't Make Me Wait
Loose Joints, Is It All Over My Face
Slave, Just A Touch of Love
Howard Johnson, So Fine
Fonda Rae, Over Like A Fat Rat
Nu Shooz, I Can't Wait
Cheryl Lynn, Encore
