My summers have always revolved around the hidden gems in the stacks of mix cds I have packed into nearly every compartment of my car. Some of my favorites have been stolen, shared, and passed around, making me notorious for making classic playlists to last a lifetime (okay, maybe just a summer).
This week, I finally received my first mix cd the way most of mine have been lost. I didn’t remind my chum to take his cd back, but I did pull out a sharpie and make him name it for me. Included on Jonathan’s Titsmix No.1 was “I Want You (So Bad)” from Clive Tanaka y Su Orquesta’s Side A for Dance. Side A is rhythmic foreplay for Side B: romance, of which the first track is very sexy bossa nova a la Thievery Corporation.
According to the Last.fm bio of Clive Tanaka y Su Orquesta (which is a must-read, btw) Clive withdrew from society for 11 years and locked himself in his bedroom, only to emerge with some of the sexiest nu wave that is only achievable with the company of nothing but a keyboard and some disco tapes.
