Ce Ce Peniston - Finally (7" Choice Mix) (1991)

Just heard this out on my walk

Sort of underlined to me how these songs are folk songs in our culture

You'd assume only with the over 40s but streaming has extended their shelf life, I wouldn't be surprised if they were familiar to UK gen z too

That one in particular's probably still reaching a lot of people because it's the soundtrack to the big performance at the end of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert too. That's where I first heard it.

90s music has a kind of innocence emotionally speaking. it's way way less pornographic. and somehow less optimised as well. a weaker tincture really. what happened to americans in the 00s? feels like they were looking for the hard stuff.
there's a man, probably mentally ill, late 40s, early 50s, cycles up and down the thames oinly playing that narrow band of steroidal '00s US rap. 50 cent etc. huge, bludegeoning, bombastic, miliatristic, overbearing. there was an autistic blogger called robon carmody that was fascinated by it at the time he called it fascist hop which i thought was a bit overblown at the time but in retrospect he was totally right.

Probably my fav Black Box tune. I like stuff like that, stuff like Strike - U Sure Do. Basically cheesy piano house.

From the later end of the decade Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) is a year too late, a year after Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You, and a year before Roger Sanchez - Another Chance.

This probably isn't cheesy enough to pass the thread premise but it's one of those ones that would fit right in in a night/mix of these tunes and probably tear the roof off

Innit 💣
