EARLY BRYAN ADAMS
LIFE UPDATES:
-Trying to stay positive and finish out the semester strong
-Setting up "CREATION STATION" in room where Rhodes used to be. Vampire Weekend trailer will be online VERY SOON.
-Still loving population facts: The other day Jeff Sachs told me that there are at least 45 (i don't remember the exact figure) cities in China with populations of over 1 Million. He didn't have a list on him but he assured the class that we wouldn't have heard of most of them.
America has 9 cities with populations over 1 million.
MUSIC UPDATE:
This weekend I was chilling out at home listening to WKTU, New York's Dance Station. It was great. I have to do that more often. They were playing a mix of early 80's/late 70's club bangers. Right after Madonna's "Borderline", an amazing song came on. I tried to remember the lyrics so I could look it up later. The voice sounded like Michael Jackson.
Turns out the song ("Let Me Take you Dancing") is Bryan Adams' first single from 1978. The reason he sounds like MJ is because the producer decided to speed up the track after he'd recorded the vocals. Apparently, Adams is embarrassed by the song and has refused to put it on any comps despite its status as an all-time classic disco song. The only way to get your hands on it is by finding a used 12".
Luckily, the BLOGOSPHERE has not forgotten "Let Me Take You Dancing". You can DL an mp3 of the track here at a cool dude named Bruce's livejournal.
I strongly recommend checking this track out. Aside from the Bryan Adams factor, it's a brilliant synthesis of Motown and disco, kind of predicting the mid-80's British Soul/New Wave genre.
