Song of the Day: In-Dee – I Can’t Wait For Love

Here’s a cool underground track from the house days.
The nice thing about releases like this that have no real name attached to them – people can just try to sound smart and say who the artist really was.
“Oh – I know this track. Yeah, it was a Ron Hardy joint.”
“No, it wasn’t. That was a Bad Boy Bill jam. My uncle’s neighbor helped him in the studio.”
“You all wack. My brother Jesse made this track. He was gonna be signed to Jive so he couldn’t put his name on it. Then some sucka bit his rhymes so now he’s back on welfare.”

Youtube makes it clear this time

Ok Youtube and Warner Music Group – I suppose you gave me clarity and I should be grateful for that, but all it does is give me more questions.
Using Death Cab for Cutie in a mix had the Warner bot block my mix in 235 (give or take a few – I counted them quickly) countries. I mocked them – saying it would be easier to tell me where it wasn’t blocked.
Well, today I uploaded an old Devo song. And WMG made it quite clear.

As I said – I appreciate the clarity. But wait a minute, does that mean there were countries that Death Cab for Cutie was NOT blocked in? It included Iran, Antartica, and North Korea. But was there a country that WMG said – “welllll, ok – we’ll allow it there. It’s such a small market. It’s certainly no Greenland!”

Oh Youtube and WMG – you’re such a quirky couple. I find your antics so amusing. But I guess I need to check my record labels more carefully. I’ve amassed quite a collection on Youtube and I don’t want them yanking my account. But then again, that’s easier said than done. Warner Brothers / Warner Music isn’t even listed on the label for Disco Dancer. Now I have to know what other companies they bought? I guess I better stick with the Chicago and Detroit tracks for a while.

(Pssst – but you can still listen to the Bonus Beats version of Disco Dancer. That one slipped through their net. And it’s a kick ass jam!)

It would have been boring to spend the 80s stuck only in house music.
You also needed some shots from the big spud gun!

Song of the Day: J.M. Silk – All In Vain

One of the biggest successes to come out of Chicago – and it seems this single was only released in the UK. I think that tells you which labels treated them right.
