It's a couple steps from Act to Art of Silence... so instead I'll just say Have a Great Weekend!

Well it'll probably grow on me, but I'm not overwhelmed by it or anything. I'm whelmed. (YouTube: The Weeknd - Starboy (f/ Daft Punk))

I can't explain Monday, but it looks like we're moving into ZTT territory for the rest of the week. I guess by way of link....this is ALSO very eighties? It's also a longish dance mix I really enjoy. Maybe you will enjoy it too!

CRZ-271
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Relax (Sex Mix)
1983

I can't speak for the weather today but I CAN tell you I'm spinning during the Turf Club brunch from 10-2. Although...if you're reading this, it may be too late.

My mom really loves Moody Blues, although by this point in their career she probably wasn't as excited about them. She did like their "comeback" later, though. This was before that. Weird to think this stuff was on the radio back then. Have a great weekend!

CRZ-267
The Moody Blues

Another "learned about 'em from Letterman" selection. Today is my mother's birthday! Two years ago today my wife broke up with me! There's only 100 days left this year! I have no idea what I'm doing!

The Colourist

That's a good Wall of Sound 12" (YouTube: Mekon f/ Roxanne Shante: What's Going On Mekon Full 12")
21.9.16 07:23 
You know, now that Letterman retired I really have no way of learning about new music involving watching late night television because I gave up on all late night television. I watch the same reruns on Adult Swim every night, or I go out for a Pokéwalk, or both. Anyway, here's a more recent song I liked because it reminded me of much less recent songs. I also like to do it at karaoke, although I don't know how many other people like me doing it at karaoke!

CRZ-265
White Lies
To Lose My Life
2008

This one was a heavy favourite at the Target Center during Timberwolves games - remind me to find the original and tack it on as a comment later. (Did I share this one already? This feels familiar.)

CRZ-264
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix)
2009

19.9.16 16:23 
Some more "recent" selections this week. (I guess, to me, "recent" means "after 1989") This song has a zillion remixes and they all rule, but here's the original. Happy Monday!

CRZ-263
Lily Allen
The Fear
2009

18.9.16 15:23 
As the year goes on it looks less and less like I've grouped these selections into any kind of cohesion. I have no idea why this one came up on this day. By now I'm just typing in words to fill the space. Are you still reading?

CRZ-262
The Crystal Method
Now Is The Time
1994

This was the last 45 I bought. Fortunately, it had a tiny hole so I wasn't breaking my No Adapter Needed promise when I played it at Day Block a few months back. Also, this video is a trip.

Every time he does this live it's different. This was the one that made the live collection and it always makes me smile. Have a great weekend!

15.9.16 12:23 
I kept wondering if a theme would develop this week but "longer tracks" seems to be the best we can come up with. Here's an awesome B side that later snuck onto the CD.

CRZ-259
The Sisters of Mercy
Colours
1987

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TWupB-JJZU
14.9.16 11:23 
This one was included in an Essential Mix and I got a little obsessed with it. It took years before an online copy was available, but nowadays you could get it for under a buck on Amazon, I think. I think that's how I ended up with my digital copy. I'm boring myself even. That's OK, this track is over ten minutes so you need a little more to read.

CRZ-258
Skilled-Work
Music Is Free (Dub Idea)
1997

Happy Monday! Here's an old "With Sympathy"-era Ministry single that never really got released, yet this video exists (and Alain - sorry, Al - probably HAAAAAAATES it - but I don't!) Happy Monday!

Switching back to The KLF to close out this week...this is a definite ambient favourite. Have a great weekend!

One of my most favourite Orb remixes, back when they were still called Orbital mixes (before Orbital complained). Don't know how familiar you are with this Depeche Mode B side, but believe me the original version is NOTHING like this one!

CRZ-253
Depeche Mode
Happiest Girl (Pulsating Orbital Vocal Mix)
1990

7.9.16 10:23 
I really love when The Orb takes a known track and distorts it into something almost recognisable. Here's a pretty good example. I'll have another good one tomorrow! (By the way...this one wasn't on YouTube, so I put it there myself. If I can successfully avoid the copyright police, I'll try doing this more in the future, so let me know if you have any requests!)

Still thinking about last night's show. I guess they've been doing this one a while. (Bonnie Raitt & Richard Thompson - Dimming of the Day)
6.9.16 09:23 
An Orb remix of a KLF classic (see last Saturday) - we're really intertwined now...

Looks like I'm in a KLF/Orb kinda mode so here's a cover from the badorb projects as imagined by Thomas Fehlmann. Happy Labor Day!

Just before the left the music business, we were treated to maybe The KLF's finest hour. Well, not this. There's a live performance I'll have to link later in a comment, but for now....MERRY CHRISTMAS and ENJOY

CRZ-248
The KLF v. Extreme Noise Terror
3am Eternal (Christmas Top of the Pops 1991)

3.9.16 06:23 
This was one of the badorb.com projects - Alex's brother Martin was listed as writer/producer and his... father, I think? provided the "vocals." This closed out one of the "Le Petite Orb" DJ sets I attended in San Francisco back in the day and was a pretty emotional moment due to the family involvement.

Shit, it's September already. Two thirds of the way through 2016...but so much music left...

Hey how about another Orb remix? This one was special because, shoot, Tangerine Dream, are you kidding, come on, get outta here. (Actually not a STELLAR track, I must admit... but still neat historically)

CRZ-241
Tangerine Dream

Erasure

25.8.16 10:23 
Vince always loved the one-offs between long-term gigs. Even after kinda stabilizing with Erasure, he STILL had that VCMG project...but I'm getting ahead of myself (and also not sharing any of those tracks) - the B side of this one is really good, too. Maybe I WILL share that one later today...we'll see if I remember by the time this autoposts.

CRZ-238

What Time Is It? (Live on Letterman)
1993

21.8.16 14:23 
This song is guaranteed to empty the dancefloor because I think I'm the only person in the world who likes it. (So I bury it on a Sunday, I guess!)
