OPEN POST: Let's Party All the Time

Back in the 80s, Eddie Murphy was EVERYTHING - SNL cast member, standup comedian, mega movie star, and perhaps less notably, short-lived career musician. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I still love his biggest chart-topping banger, the Rick James-produced hit Party All the Time. I mean, what's there not to love? There's that catchy, funky beat (with those little "CLAP CLAPs!" sprinkled in between)....that sweet, sexy synth sound making love to our ears....and not least of all, the absolutely, utterly, so very cheesy 80s music video that accompanies it. I mean, just look at the mop on Rick James, y'all! The Ogilvieness of it all!! I live for it!!

I know Eddie is supposed to be the star here, but Rick James really Rick Jamesed it up in that video and stole the show. And frankly, I think we're all better off for it. Although I do feel like the guy on the right here at 2:26 could probably give him a run for his money...


Enjoy, dear Peckerlings, and Happy Friday!

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
