GO, BABY, GO. I GUESS.


Yeah, yeah, I know. You didn't ask. But there are a few of you who appreciate the soothing sounds of the jiggle clubs of yore, so here you are anyways. It's been several weeks since we checked in with Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban's Tassel Twirler Tuesdays. I was reminded of the backlog by the recent posting of More Saturday Shakers, a thirty three song mix of songs that fall under the same loosely defined genre. The ingredients are simple: a ba-boom ba-ba-boom beat, some honking horns, occasionally the presence of an organ, and, to add a little flavor and make it actually seem like there was some effort put forth in the crafting of these dime-a-dozen otherwise throwaway instrumentals, a few oddball lyrics. But you know what? I can't get enough of them, primarily because after you've heard several in a row you'll find yourself slipping on the wing tips and grabbing some singles for a destination that no longer really exists.
