Thank God It's Friday (The Price of Eggs Is Still Going Up)

Cameo — Candy (12" Remix) / 1986 (NYC Funk)

Hello internet pals of music. Today, since we barely give a rat’s ass about anything anymore (okay, we still, and always will, absolutely fucking love music more than anything in the universe, but…), we’re turning it over to someone else.

FROM THE DESK OF XARXONI NIXIXALIFF (ACTUALLY IN AN EMAIL TO SERMONS!):

Just need everyone to stop what they are doing, take a deep breath in, and then loudly speak an imitation of the highest and longest tone you can make on a trumpet. Pause. “You affect me”.

The minute and a half breakdown at 3:00 allows us to collectively channel a tropical fruit salad featuring lazer beams — and is probably one of the top three songs about raspberries, strawberries, and heart attacks. Help me get these ticking bombs and screaming licks and compressed drums into some sort of cardboard box. Attempting to look my best means blazers, bike shorts, and berets.

Have you ever driven recklessly through a Houston parkade downtown at midnight with the windows rolled down playing Candy? "This stuff is starting now”.

FROM THE DESK OF SERMONS!:

Look, if you don’t like Cameo, then I don’t know what to tell you. That’s something you’ll have to take up with whatever higher power you subscribe to—because you’re not getting through whatever pearly gates there are until you do.
