Aural Pleasures - Part 4

Relax, Take It Easy, if that isn't the title for a huge summer hit I don't know what is.
It's the latest hit from Mika, the boy behind the song "Grace Kelly"
This song, also seems to borrow from an 80's hit.
I didn't really catch it a first, I have to give the credit to Mark, he was the one who said that it sounded a lot like "I just died in you arms tonight" by the Cutting Crew.
It reminded me more of something by the Scissor Sisters but I see where Mark's coming from.
Either way I have played the crap out of this song over the last few days.
Hope you like it too.

First up Mika....



Next for your consideration Cutting Crew with "I just died in your arms tonight"



Lastly a little Scissor Sisters....guaranteed to get you out of your seat and dancing around your computer.

Ironically "I Don't Feel Like Dancing"

Aural Pleasures - Part 3

About three weeks ago we had our annual boat(booze)cruise at work.
It's a great event that the store social fund hosts annually.
We spend about three hours cruising back and forth on the Ottawa river.
This year had the usual drunken episodes....
More about that later.
After a few cocktails I wasn't feeling any pain and I started to dance.
This year I spent the evening dancing with one of our newest employees.
Thing was that she loved music from the 80's.
So we ended up dancing most of the night and we kept requesting more and more music.
Our favorite of the evening had to be Jermaine Stewart's classic "We don't have to take our clothes off"
In case you don't remember it(or to young to even know it)here's a reminder.



The point of the post?
While I was on vacation last week I heard the new song by Gym Class Heroes.
It's called "Clothes Off"
Three guesses as to which song they sample and the first two don't count.
Here's there "new" song.
As someone who enjoys rap music I don't find it to bad, but I think the classic version is still the best.



Not sure who Gym Class Heroes are?
Here is their first hit "Cupids Chokehold"

Hello

I well it's been a busy summer and I have done absolutely nothing with this blog.
Surprisingly enough Mary has not been bugging me to update....
I hope that doesn't mean that she's stopped checking in.
The point is holidays are over for us at least until September so I will get back at things.
More updates to follow.
I promise.
