(crs + mar) Now it's my turn...

It's monday night and Marcelo and I are both tired from work. And how did we end up jamming to these bitches:



Marcelo and I took a little musical journey tonight. Granted, it was briefly and humorously interrupted by watching the most recent episode of 30 Rock, but join us, won't you, on an eclectic walk through all the music you should think is cool these days.

We kicked it off when I dealt Marcy to the new hotness: Coconut Records. It's a side project by Jason Schwartzman, and if you don't listen to "West Coast" you're just never going to understand how bittersweet it can be to leave a lover at La Guardia airport.

From Coconut's "West Coast" we listened to his "Nighttiming" (both available on his MySpace music page) and then Marcy had to kick me back with the new Hot Chip. From there we took the obvious leap to New Order, and jammed to "Love Vigilante" and afterwards reminisced about "Temptation" but refrained from seeking it out to listen to (if we can sing the base and tenor parts to each other a cappella what's the point on wasting bandwidth?). It must be noted, though, that New Order was only the "obvious" choice because Hot Chip has generously mixed a little New Order into their most recent contribution to the DJ Kicks series, and really got us into the mood. As a brief aside, they also worked the hell out of Etta James' "In the Basement", and you're going to die an empty husk of a person if you don't hear how they do before you pass on.

At this point I needed a little smack in the tuchus - mixing the Champagne of Beers and cheap white wine makes me drowsy. Thus, it was Go! Team time - "Huddle Formation", though recently utilized in a Honda Civic commercial, will never fail to bring your glutius to its maximus. A quick departure to "Ladyflash" lead us to the ultimate and inevitable conclusion:

"Supersonic" from JJ Fad.

Fuck me, those bitches can work it. Have you bothered to investigate just how super fly they were way before Missy even coined the term? First, view the video:



Now, let's keep in mind that you didn't know to brush your shoulder off until Jay-Z told you to some time when you were in college: these bitches were doing it sick when you weren't even a year old!

So welcome to a Marcy and Chris Monday night! All you need to do is start with a little ditty from a "Rushmore" alumnus, and before you know it you'll be shaking your ass with the phattest bitches the 20th century ever had the pleasure to witness.
