Badman Know Di Crepe | Vybz Kartel "Clarks"



A summer anthem for tenured professors and badmen alike? Usually, the song about branded footwear thing, I can't get down wit' it, but Vybz Kartel's Clarks potentially nerd-blazin' summer anthem "Clarkes" picks up where Ghostface left off, celebrating the suede in style. The YouTube massive seems to appreciate this tune as well;
"bore! bore! bore! ah wah u ah sey jj,dis tune sick eno,d teacher madddd mi seh"
Says . Nuff said a dem. Lighta! Or should I say; tootsbrush!

Watching Ladies Go By



Not to undermine what's going on here, but I watched this a second time with Slave "Watching Ladies" playing instead of "Look," and it worked quite well.

Blue



A Russell Harty (the guy Grace Jones attacked on air) Show appearance by Wham! An early on, '83 thing. If you're much for "Blue", I can recommend the tunes appearance on my No Kimono mix. A proper cassette classic.

You Know More Than Me
They say Europeans use Dailymotion more than YouTube. I've been looking around for this music video for Linda Di Franco "TV Scene" for many summers, so maybe "they're right and maybe there's a whole stash of Euro vids to be found. While it's not the more dance floor friendly classic 12" mix, I'll live; the sax solo and "how does it feel" ad lib are both intact. In related news, I managed to stuff this tune on a new mix, forthcoming. Look for it. It's the one with the piano bridge.

Fun House Disco



The 1983 single "Confusion" firmly established the group as a dance music force, inspiring many musicians in subsequent years. In 1984 they followed the largely synthesized single "Thieves Like Us" with the heavy guitar-drum-bass rumble of "Murder", a not-too-distant cousin of "Ecstasy" from the Power, Corruption & Lies album. - Wikipedia
