This morning I tweeted: To which I got a response from one of my dear tweeps (check out his blog stageadaptation.wordpress.com): The YouTube link was to Madonna's video for "Human Nature" from my favorite album of hers entitled "Bedtime Stories" (iTunes and Amazon) released in 1994.

Throwback Friday: “Take Your Time (Do it Right)” by S.O.S. Band
Since I just posted the first part of my interview series with DJ Louie DeVito who did the mixes for The New Dance Mix USA, I thought I'd remain in the dance music groove with this week's throwback post. The SOS Band landed their first hit with "Take Your Time (Do it Right)" on their self titled debut album released in 1980.

Last night, I watched VH1's "100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s," and I was in throwback heaven! #24 on the list sang to my Bohemian heart. I just wanted to toss on my Birkenstocks, burn my bra in a bonfire, and get a henna tattoo as I watched Edie Brickell & New Bohemians video for "What I Am." The song came off the Dallas, Texas group's album entitled "Shooting … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “What I Am” by Edie Brickell and New Bohemians
Throwback Friday: “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega (DNA remix)
In 1990, the British dance music production duo by the name of DNA (Nick Batt and Neal Slateford) took the a capella "Tom's Diner," by Suzanne Vega, and created a catchy dance music mix that was a club anthem and still a classic. PopMatters wrote, "Using the 'doo doo doo doo' ending of the original a cappella version as a framing device for their remix, they turned a wistful, … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega (DNA remix)
