the flipside of my microhouse obsession, i suppose. you know the shit i'm talking about: played on the "little bit of everything" pop stations, the juniors department at macys, mtv @ 3 a.m. that interminable bt morse code single, "i'm blue da da de da da dum", alice deejay. i heard something today with these awesome dubbed up snares and aqua-tint production...and i realized that this kind of stuff never really gets talked about. does it have a genre name? is there anything worth exploring?

Have you ever noticed that "bridge and tunnel" (in New York, a term referring to people who use the bridges and tunnels to come into Manhattan on the weekend) implies out-of-townness yet 99% of the time the B&Ters are actually way more local than people who use this term?

Are you referring to what Battery Park is built on?

The genre you're looking for is "pop".

The grandmama of 'em all: Sonia's "You'll Never Stop Me From Loving You"--total by-the-numbers SAW stuff, but the B-side had the same vocals over a slight variant of the "French Kiss" groove...

Jess, I think I know what you're talking about, and... I LOVE that shit. If it's what I think you're talking about, there's this TV ad for something called "Eurodance Classics" or something, and I've seriously considered buying.

Today I ordered a Vengaboys album. Is this taking it too far.

stock aitken and waterman were the greatest producers of the 80s

Tom -- any chance of posting up our old Handbag article -- that might answer Jess's question...

It would require a trip back to the family home and some digging around on my Dad's computer - but in the long-term I'll see what I can do. (Probably too late for this thread).

related to this and to handbag: what do y'all think of the Hed Kandi series? or should that be a new thread?
