This is the b-side of the Geto Boys single. I'm still reeling from the Glass Candy/Chromatics show we saw a couple weeks ago.

Chromatics-"I Want Your Love"(2007)

Gah, Chromatics killed their set list the other night at Terminal 5. They were just as good as last year's show. Aghhhh. Do yourself a favor and don't ever miss out on seeing this band live. They jammed this song out for what felt like ten minutes.

Kraftwerk-"The Model"(1978)

This one goes out to all the tall models I laid eyes on at my job last week during NYC's Fashion Week.


German (original) version:


It definitely would have been great to check out Jen Kao's runway show, which featured an original Mike Simonetti track, "Total Darkness".

dgaf.
Here's a house remix of this classic track. We heard it tear the roof off a while back at Le Bain.

Depeche Mode-"Never Let Me Down Again"(1987)

Classic track by Depeche Mode. Their 24th single.
 A car drove by tonight blasting this and it reminded me how badass this track is.

One of my friends used to have all their CD singles back in the 90s.

This song was featured on the recent Stephen King adaptation Under The Dome.

The Carpenters did a version, too.

From the album "Terminal Jive".

We've been staying in Spanish Harlem since Monday.

Bronski Beat vs Destiny's Child-"Say My Name/Small Town Boy" mashup (2011?)

Leanne regularly plays this mashup during her DJ sets at the Manhattan Inn. Last time she mixed it in with the original Bronski Beat track. Rules.

Z Factor-"I Am The DJ"(1985)

My friend Jake played this cut tonight at the monthly Future Punx DJ set. Probably the best thing to happen toThe Bedford since Cherrystone clams.

New Order-"Love Vigilantes"(1985)

Another one from Wednesday's set. Bernie rocked that melodica.

Joy Division-"Love Will Tear Us Apart"(1979)

This was the last song New Order played from their three song Joy Division encore when we saw them Wednesday. Preceded by "Transmission" and "Atmosphere".

New Order-"Elegia"(1985)

New Order opened their 2 hour set with this. Fitting.

This track reminds me of going to Singles Going Steady, Chris P's old seven-inch DJ night (at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios), a while back with Xavie being my designated driver. We were bligged out of our mindz.

Linear Movement-"Way Out Of Living"(1983)

Peach Melba-"Can't Let Go"(2011)

I been on that Juan Maclean binge since we missed his DJ set at Le Bain.

Bobby Soxx would go on to be the front man for legendary Texas psycho-punk outfit Stick Men With Ray Guns.

The Cryin' Shames-"Please Stay"(1966)

As featured in my favorite movie (so far)from 2013.

Cybotron-"Clear"(1983)
