"ain't got no trouble in my life"

Exclusively 1974 number one hits to brighten your Friday.

Kiki Dee Band - I've Got The Music In Me
I just picked up a 45 of this at the WFMU record fair. It's so ubiquitous that I kind of forgot how amazing it is. It's proto-disco, it's pop, it's rock, it's an anthem. Hell, it's a crossroads moment. I recommend checking out the Cher vs Tina Turner version on YouTube. AMAZING!!!



Andy Kim - Rock Me Gently
Never heard this one before yesterday when I was doing a little wiki-research. Bubblegum euphemisms for fucking are my favorite. This is back when you could be ugly AND have a number one hit. Check the video...

"I got nuthin to lose"

New Armand giving me an electro disco effect. HOT!

"everything I touch turns to gold"

A couple mid-80s R&B tracks to warm up your November.

Midnight Star - Midas Touch
This is probably my favorite Midnight Star track. I love the "Tuh-touch. Tuh-touch." part at the start. They had a lot of hits, but aren't really that well known anymore.

Cheri - Murphy's Law
I love this group and I love this song. I remember it from when I was a kid, but didn't really remember it (for reals) until I picked up the 12" earlier this year.

"roxy, mudd club, danceteria..."

Nina Hagen - New York, New York

"there is a feeling in me and I don't know why"

Cut Copy - Saturdays
From Cut Copy's first album Bright Like Neon Love, which I highly recommend if you've only heard the more well known second album. This track's beauty is in it's simplicity. Like a good Saturday.

Ben Watt featuring Estelle - Pop A Cap In Yo' Ass
A Buzzin Fly track by the former EBTG member and young Brit pop sensation Estelle. Strange that he would choose to use her for just a spoken word piece, as she's got a beautiful voice.

"it's me, i'm alive"

One of my favorite old broads just put out a new album.

Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band - Waiting For The D Train

Mama's not dead yet! She's still got a few ideas in her head that she wants to share with us. It's up to you to decipher them. Perhaps while waiting for the train?

Yoko Ono - I'm Alive

Umm... like I said above.

"got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight"

Cole Porter died on this date in 1964.

Jimmy Somerville - From This Moment On
