Ain't No Fun
(One of the most misogynistic songs. Ever. A guilty pleasure.)


I'd argue that this is not a misogynist song from a feminist perspective, although it is a misogynist song from a social perspective. That argument is much too long for this thread. But I feel obligated to draw the distinction, in the interest of eventually uniting those two perspectives, and thus rendering the distinction permanently obsolete. After which, we can have an all-night dance party in utopia.

Adding, to diminish the OT-ness of it all: a-one-two-three-FAH!

Nina Simone peforming 'To Love Somebody':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OaNzoqSo4g


The scrolling visual text on the video isn't entirely accurate to Ms. Simone's rendition, in my opinion, but you should be gyrating 'round the room besides. Look at your dance partner, not the screen.... btw, you have the power to do that at anytime, you realize?!?

Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme - Black Hole Sun

Some how this version is way better than the Soundgarden original. I took LSD and saw these two perform at the old Circle Star Theater in San Carlos in the 70's. They were literally fantastic.

I am apparently listening to a group called "Psyopus" on XM Radio; it has been a LONG LONG time since something made me look up and say ALOUD to myself, "What the fuck IS this?", even with the vast quantity of very extreme music I tend to subject myself to.

MUST FIND MORE
