Twisting the night away with my friends and I

So get a load of this.

Last night, I danced.

Yes, you heard me. I danced. In front of people. People I didn't know. First time in I don't know how long. Why? Because of the Patio Kings at the Baltic Room. They make dancy music. And lots of other people were dancing and harassing us to get up on the dance floor. So we did. It was good to see these guys get a decent show in Seattle (they're from Bellingham). The last time I saw them was at this bar in the U District. I don't think the U District is ready for them (they're not hippie enough).

But yeah. I shook my groove thang. Actually, less of a shake. More of a wobble. Maybe an undulation. Anyway, it was fun.

I'm totally brain dead right now. Need to wake up. A little over 8 hours until I get out of here.

John Richards makes everything OK.

I just discovered that a bunch of letters I had a co-worker do for me were done wrong. They're gonna have to be redone. And they're due by 11. But...John is playing some fuckin' KARP!

Had they not broken up, they would have been the future of Oly-core metal. Oh well.

I was up above it; now I'm down in it...

It's so goregeous outside. Power crunch be damned - the sun makes me happy. It's like a preview of summer in the middle of winter. Time for lunch.

That girl's a super freak...

Stopped at Border's during lunch. I picked up the Only Dance 1980-1984 comp. Check this shit out:

Rick James - Super Freak Part 1
Blondie - Rapture (white girls can't rap)
Stray Cats - Rock This Town
The Go Go's - We Got The Beat (and a nasty coke habit)
Gap Band - You Dropped A Bomb On Me
Herbie Hancock - Rockit
Talking Heads - Burning Down The House
The Pretenders - Back On The Chain Gang
Billy Ocean - Carribean Queen (Bryan's feelin' this...ask him to sing it for you sometime)
Kool & The Gang - Ladies Night (Da Brat not included)
Toni Basil - Mickey (I heard a version of this en espanol that was super funny)
The Fixx - One Thing Leads To Another
Denice Williams - Let's Hear It For The Boy
Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams
Sheena Easton - Strut (Och, tha' lassie's hoot, mon!)
Devo - Whip It (not "Whip-it's". There are better ways of getting high.)
Ray Parker Jr. - The Other Woman (Who ya gonna call?)
Laura Branigan - Self Control
K.C. & The Sunshine Band - Please Don't Go (Didn't realize they put anything out in the 80s)
Shannon - Let The Music Play

I also got a Rick James "Best Of" CD.

As much as I bitch about how the 80s were devoid of decent music, I guess there's some good stuff.

(no subject)

Good summer-in-the-middle-of-winter music.
