Loose Booty!!!!!

Most of the songs I'll be posting have a story or two attributed to them. You know how you can listen to a track from say 93 and it'll take you to a certain place in space (hmmmmm)? Well being from the Metro DC area has its downfalls (traffic, high prices for everything, congressional interns, crappy high school football coverage) but it also has it's benefits (melting pot scenario increases the female opportunities....like 10 fold, good standard of living, unique music).

The Go-Go existence is one of pleasure and pain in this city. On the one hand, it makes for a great conversation piece when you travel out of town and try to explain what Go-Go is and does (to the girlies anyhow). I learned quick that if you find yourself in a strange town bar where the folks look deader than JaRule's career, pop in some Go-Go and shit goes ballistic.

Point in case, Fall 1998.
Middle Tenn. State University.
Terrible party about to go down the drain.
Insert Junk Yard Band mix into CD player.
Watch clothes come off hoochies.
Rinse.
Repeat.

On the other hand, Go-Go sort of stigmatizes (sp?) DC as not being able to support any other kind of music. A rack of folks from DC have had to break through in NYC or ATL to get noticed by major labels. There have been some exceptions (nonchalant, err...brain freeze). But having seen the attempts of more than one artist or group try to get some kind of exposure by repping the district, I can honestly say that root canals would be easier to endure. But I love Go-Go becuase at it's roots, it is some fonky ass music. And that's alright with me.

So if you find yourself stuck in a party rut in middle America, get some Go-Go, and watch the magic happen. It works man, seriously.
