I can't help but feel like I've been taken advantage of a little bit. I feel impressed at first by the brassy posing and vamping of the first 3 minutes, like watching a peacock or a dude showing off how he can do that thing where you run up a wall and flip onto your feet. Then I feel nothing short of sweet-talked for the next 3 minutes, as I'm shouted at, just into my ear so I can hear above the music, that I'm the best thing out there. That sex is better than sushi for your constitution, and that I need to get healthy. Then the next 3 minutes, I hear nothing except the slow bassy tension beneath the brassy wowzy-towzy. Wait a 9-minute cover, I'M BEING MADE LOVE TO! And suddenly it's over, and whether it's the sushi (I did have that for dinner, to be fair) or what I do feel pretty good. [Buy]

Posted by: franlkindoom1 at July 27, 2007 5:13 AMI think you spilled beer on your keyboard. if you're asking if I play in a band, I do not. I respect musicians very much. to conceive of an entire song, especially something essentially new, is amazing to me.

Posted by: Joel Taylor at July 30, 2007 5:54 AMWe love "Sexual Healing" and hope many people enjoy it but we know there are those who will not like it as well. That cut is from our first disc "Rock with the Hot 8" soon to be released in Europe and the rest of the globe through Tru Thoughts. To the cats that don't dig it, please check out the rest of the disc when it drops.
