Start your day with something really weird.
Billy Jean by Michael Jackson, but every instrument is a spring door stopper.
This song goes so effin hard. I couldn't believe it was Fallout Boy when I first heard it.
There are some really creative rythyms in the vocals that elevate this from "just another pop song" to something special.
Music can bring people together like no other. All it takes is a good teacher and willingness to try.
The music is already in you, try not to be so self-conscious and let it out.
This song is just on my mind today for some reason.
Crank the sub up and go back almost 30 years to this classic.
Scatman - Scatman John - Scatman's World (1995)
If there's is one music link you click on from me this year (heck ever) let this be it.
I could make easily 19 more posts about how amazing this song is, but the Corey's vocals are outstanding, the ending guitar solo is epic, the opening violin solo is inspiring, the drum work is phenomenal, and the bass work is so perfect.
This song is something special. If you aren't about the violin intro skip to about 3 min in.
Sun Goes Down (Live) - Main Source
Enjoy an absolute gem of a cover of Sex Machine. Any additional words I use won't do this justice.
Sex Machine - Main Source (originally by James Brown) - 2021
And now you'll never be able not think of the two together.
Michael Jackson (f. Toto as the backing band 😅) - Human Nature - Thriller
Listen to Africa first and then Human Nature and you'll hear it even if you don't believe it. You'll hear it in the syncopation and patterns. You'll hear it in the little things.
Africa - Toto
Did you know that's Toto, yes *that* Toto, was the backing band in Michael Jackson's Thriller album?
I'm really not kidding here.
It's not payday yet and it's a week and a half until Christmas?
Yep, Louis Cole knows what's up.

You didn't know you wanted to hear a talented South African dude (who sounds an awful lot like Jaheim) singing over some deep house?
Well you do. This is one of my favorite deep cuts of the year.
It's that good.
Sweet Nothings (Extended Mix) - Rhey Osborne (2022)
You need a chill vibe to listen to tonight while you sip some wine or bourbon and scroll the time line.
I got you fam. It's two minutes long, take a chance. You'll thank me.
Dinner Party - From My Heart and My Soul (2020)
I hate that rap from the late 80s gets over shadowed due to the genre becoming a mainstream commodity during the 90s.
Just look at the outfits and style Big Daddy Kane was sporting back then. I'd club an animated baby seal to look that smooth for a day or two.
Kane's influence on future rappers is undeniable.
Ain't No Half Stepping - Big Daddy Kane - Ain't No Half Stepping (1988)
When people talk about classic rap I feel like Kid and Play never get the respect they deserve.
I am willing to bet that a good number of people completely forgot that they sounded like this back at their peak.
Kid vs Play (The Battle) - Kid n Play - House Party OST (1990)
As a side note, the Halsey cover of Coulda Been Me in the kids movie, Sing 2, is a lot better than it has any business being.
Coulda Been Me - Halsey (Struts Cover) - Sing 2 OST (2021)
The best advice I can ever give you is this:
Live your life in a way that this song is an anthem, and not a bittersweet melody.
Coulda Been Me - The Struts - Everybody Wants (2014)
Not just for you, but any one who comes here to spew hate to our LGTBQA family here...
Williston says it so perfectly.
Williston - Go the Fuck Away
New Freddie Gibbs album drops today and I am hyped about it. Dark Hearted is 🔥🔥 and I can't wait to hear the rest.
Dark Hearted - Freddie Gibbs - $oul $old $eparately (2022)
Beavis and Butt-Head came out in 1993. They were wearing AC-DC and Metallica shirts.
AC-DC started getting popular in the late 70s. Metallica in the early 80s.
There was a Beavis and Butt-Head movie released recently, but their shirts didn't change. Using this time frame of roughly 15ish years ago from the date of this post), so late 2000s, which band would be on 2022's Beavis's and Butt-Head 's shirts.
I understand that these answers will likely be sobering and depressing😂
If you've seen my posts on #cosomusic over the years, you know I love me some Oakie. Absolutely adore his music and sets. Yet, I swear this byline from The Times has me livid.
Could have easily said, "helped create, was a major influencer" so on and so forth. Instead they had to say he "invented" dance music.
Are you for real????
It's killing me because is straight up ignoring titans like Frankie Knuckles or even Carl Cox.
