Throwback Thursday: Two Bads (About Michael Jackson & LL Cool J)

Years ago, way back in the late 80s when both these songs were the shit! Our once local Urban Excursion AM radio station's (now can't recall the stations name for the life of me... oh the years, the years) show used to play this kickin' remix of the two Bad's together. I prob have it packed away on cassette somewhere, which I might never find :\ Wish I could, it was the BEST. Anyone familiar with it?



Conversation here also reminds me of the Right On Magazine cover featuring LL & MJ (Here's a couple online photo resources: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/104568022581980314/?lp=true https://digital.library.cornell.edu/catalog/ss:12529273).

Also, don't you agree this guy's voice impressions were on point and tastefully entertaining? Some just overdo MJ in a condescending, ridiculing-way that I personally dislike and find rude & insulting to him. So props to this man pulling off that risky business ;)
This truly is a nice Throwback Thursday discussion with a great pair of songs. Enlightened my morning.

Lana Del Rey - Venice Bitch

Is it me or does anyone get high on Lana Del Rey's songs? Lana's videos always make me nostalgic for places I've never even been to and experiences I've never had. Thanks, Ms. Del Rey, for being a breath of fresh air in a boring music landscape where seemingly similar rhythm machines, voices and melodies are overused.



The Chainsmokers - This Feeling (Lyric Video) ft. Kelsea Ballerini

HaHa, I ain't got no Sweetheart to dedicate, but this is a cute Sweetest Day Treat for the young love out there especially! And this lyric video is clever for Halloween Season 2018 too! Awesome catchy song sure to be another lasting Chainsmokers classic☺






dodie - Human

So digging this one! Catchy enough for the fam, yet underlying edginess with a nice driving soft bass. Smooth October/Autumn Release perfect for Sweetest Day and Halloween too! Clever video concept ☺



Passenger | Ghost Town (Official Video)

Song and video reminded me of Gary, Indiana. A lot of cool architecture there in sorted urban decay, would had also been an ideal locale to film. Nice October release too! Love Passenger ♥
