Had a friend who was sad. I told her to listen to this song immediately:

^ You're a good friend!
Here's some more cheer:

The sad friend just told me listen to this:

One more from the Azerbaijani rabbit hole I keep falling into:

^ 'Tis a fine hole you've found, my friend. Keep on rooting!

cologne - trans am

^ Whoa, had no idea John Carpenter was a touring musician! Cool to know~
Nice follow-up with Trans Am, also unknown to me! So much to listen to...

^ Ha! 'Pairs nicely with' is always my intended m.o.

I didn't know JC was a TM, either. Neat.

Wow D! You just took me back to that wonderful trip we took to the beautiful Republic of Georgia. Hadn't seen this in forever...

^ I'll spare the masses, but I'll have to tell you the story of how I used to spin this little tune called Asia Minor in public all the time back in the late '90s.

Another something I was big on in '96:

Naw it couldn't be the 7" we put out in 95! ...could it?

Could! Among the many wee (or in the case of this one, then wee) record labels that I grabbed everything I could get my hands on from back then was Merge. Their Bio Ritmo release really hit me right at the time, and I spun it constantly at my bartending gig or when I was DJing shows. I probably hadn't thought about those two songs for a decade, maybe longer, until a week or so ago when, as has been happening to me a lot lately, I got this flash of forgotten music while I was on a bike ride. Took me a few days to figure out what the hell I was remembering and who it was by. Once I looked into it I made some very surprising discoveries about this punk-ass salsa band. Chief among them? Apparently, Rei, we met a couple of decades ago!

I'll confess that the tune I remembered, the side I played way more than the flip, was the instrumental one:
