Hopscotch

― brimstead, Thursday, 21 August 2014 03:06 (ten years ago)

Timely. Just got this in the mail yesterday. Still in shrink wrap. Great EP. Voted for Getting Hot but it's fun to play the whole thing. Dancing Time 34 Minutes. Played it back to back with Badarou's Echoes with the late summer sun fading yesterday. Good combo.

the melody on padlock is out of this world

― mattresslessness, Thursday, 21 August 2014 03:57 (ten years ago)

man I did not realize it was so split! Here I thought "Peanut Butter" would have this by a landslide

I want to vote for 'getting hot' just bc eric h. called it the worst & it's one of my favorites but i really have trouble voting for anything other than '7th heaven'

― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 21 August 2014 04:28 (ten years ago)

I'd take "least best," tho yeah, it's def the only one I didn't even consider voting for

(Love the instrumental version of "Hopscotch" even better than the vocal one, btw.)

― It's Autumn Sunrise (Eric H.), Thursday, 21 August 2014 04:29 (ten years ago)

me too, i think. such a groove.

I don't believe in "Best" as a concept but I voted Peanut Butter in a kind of reflexive move. Guess I was the only one! When it's 34 minutes of dancing pleasure you just play the whole damn thing imo

― the tune was space, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 00:09 (ten years ago)

wow I thought I voted PB too!

― Gay Fire Beautiful Dong (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 12:21 (ten years ago)

I wish I'd have thrown another vote to it. But it doesn't matter. All the songs are great and not enough people love this EP.

getting hot or padlock if i think about it

nine months pass...

Every time I hear the intro to Stevie Wonder's "Hey Love" I think it's Padlock coming on. Can't help but think that was an influence, if not subconsciously. Love both records.

Missed this thread, but would have given a much deserved vote to Getting Hot.

― ed.b, Sunday, 31 May 2015 12:03 (nine years ago)

three years pass...

we're getting hot
getting ready for the best time in your life

this is my favourite music ever.

I don’t know the answer

(but it might be “Hopscotch”)

(or whichever track I happen to be popping to at that moment)

(right now that’s “Peanut Butter”)

wanted to post these perfect moments in time:

This is the best music ever

The Larry Levan mix of peanut butter is my favorite song right now

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 16 August 2023 23:19 (one year ago)

The LL mix of hopscotch and padlock are also excellent

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 16 August 2023 23:25 (one year ago)

Btw isn’t this album titled PORTRAIT?

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 16 August 2023 23:27 (one year ago)

Hmmm. But why would you Padlock a Portrait?

― henry s, Wednesday, 16 August 2023 23:31 (one year ago)

Unless you're Dorian Gray.

― henry s, Wednesday, 16 August 2023 23:32 (one year ago)

Oh wait I see Padlock is an EP of the Larry Levan mixes for this?

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 17 August 2023 00:25 (one year ago)

Yeah that’s the definitive version then
