Had to check this was real but it is apparently. The office White House social media channels being run like an alt right influencer

Please all join me in my 90s thread shortly as Bruce Springsteen is about to release a song in early 1992 that I’d never heard of before and that has become probably my most played song of the year so far :o I was never a Bruce fan really but the rise of the likes of Sam Fender and War On Drugs...

Actually I’ve found that to be true for most of their hits in the US! Not necessarily high placing but they hung around a lot longer than their chart peak would suggest. A strange pattern. Almost like radio were still hesitant to embrace them fully (as with most hop-hop in the early 90s) but the...

Ah that makes total sense then. Ta

WTF UK?

How is that irrational?

I could have sworn there was a thread years ago when she released a new album and someone was talking about how she was still making music and was underrated, and I really thought that was you. I think it’s when she released a cover of Chic’s “I want Your Love”, and I remember at the time I...

I thought I covered this already? It was one of my main discoveries of 1991. I vaguely recognised it, but clearly never given it the time of day. I’ve listened to it a few times since this project. It’s great.

The other example of that is a Bjork’s “Big Time Sensuality” - the original and Morales remix are relatively different, but I’ve been so exposed to both versions over the years that I couldn’t tell you which one is the one that’s used in the video, or was sent to radio, or you hear in bars, and...

I’ve never actually HEARD that version before - Finally was always one of those songs that had 2 versions (I think remix and radio remix but not sure) that sound so similar that until you hear them side by side you don’t even realise that it’s two versions. I’ve heard both of them so many times...

Yeah I think back then having rules for airplay is fair enough because as we now know, some radio stations are very biased towards established songs rather than fresh music. I didn’t realise that the US was applying these sort of threshold rules this far back, but it makes sense if they’ve...

@old spice I can’t actually remember if I’ve covered Geto Boys already, or if it’s still to come. But yes great song, although I know it better in present day than from the 90s. I don’t recall it being out back then but it’s definitely fed into my consciousness since then.

Is the one I posted above the original? That’s really the only version I know. There is a Def mix which appears to be the default search result but it doesn’t sound that different…

I shouldn’t really have passed over that song without commenting because it’s probably one of the most seminal dance tracks of all time. It certainly gave dear Robert a career - he pops up on my Spotify radar as a featured vocalist on new house tracks on an almost weekly basis
