Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - is it me or does disco get more insightful the older you get?

"More insightful?" Hmmm....don't know about that choice of wording, but Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band's "A Fifth of Beethoven" is nifty. Wallter Murphy went to the Manhattan School of Music. So did Regina Spektor, Donald Byrd, Max Roach, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter. Donna Summer has the ultra-sexual "Love to Love You Baby" (the rumor has always been that she was really getting fucked) and of course there were the Brothers Gibb, The Trampps, and so on.

Sometimes the older gang and I will put on the "classic disco" station (and other digital music channels) in another room and then see who can name song and artist first.
