she never lies

At first, I didn't like the track below at all. A few weeks later, it has become my favorite guilty pleasure-- Janet's silky voice, Q-Tip's silliness, and a strangely bewitching use of a Joni Mitchell sample make for some nice listening. David Morales and Frankie Knuckles remixing these elements? B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

A bit more of a 'serious' post tomorrow with some tehcno tracks.

Also, I encourage everyone to listen to Aaron-Carl's newest production work for vocalist Erica LaFay. You can hear it here.

Today, I told you I'd give you something unexpected, and who of you would have thought that I'd ever post a track by Joni Mitchell? Granted, it was composed by Charles Mingus and comes from Joni's Mingus album, but Joni brings her pipes (when they were still amazing) and some crazy production work to the track-- the Jaco Pastorius horn arrangement is reverbed out of its mind, and there's even some WILD vocal panning towards the end of the track, the likes of which had never been heard in a Joni track at the time. Pastorius' funky-ass bass work on the track is also fantastic. A real jazzy gem, and something completely unlikely! Enjoy.
