Goodbye to a world 8bit drummer
This thing is almost 6 minutes long, I enjoy every second of it, it’s over too soon every time, but that ending silence always leads me to -ĭarling, which after everything I said about Wanna Get By, is my favourite song on this album.
#Goodbye to a world 8bit drummer crack
It’s musical crack to me, and I’m confident it’ll take you no more than 3 listens before that opening wannaget(by) is stuck in your head. It’s been a while since a song got me smiling and on my feet as consistently as Wanna Get By. What three songs did Chance de la Soul pluck those three vocal parts from? Are they themselves knitted together from even more songs? Are the titular “wanna get” and “by” even from the same song? Artist? Genre? Decade? This is plunderphonics at its finest each ingredient blended so finely, it broadsides the analytical part of my brain that wants to keep track of each sample. From wannaget to do ya feel like dancing? to I’m waiting just for you, back and forth and then together at once. We jump back and forth between 3 absolute earworm sections with the energy of a college football star training knee high tire jumps. Exuberance spills from every beat, and the dominant flavor is Daft Punk Sugar High.ĭo you feel like dancing? No, not really.įe-fee-feel like dancing/like dancing/oh! Okay, maybe a little bit.ĭo you feel like dancing? Yeah I guess I do!įe-fee-feel like dancing/like dancing/oh! Alright alright I’m dancing! Something about this song brings more energy and fun into every bar, as the vocal chops win me over bit by bit. Beats this thumping and repetitive should get obnoxious very quickly, but for some reason this one doesn’t. It feels like it’s hacking my brain, honestly. The opening track Mysteries on the Dancefloor is a fun little ‘things getting started’ track.
I found it in the early hours of December 31st, but it is easily my favourite album of 2020. The album I reach for first on these walks is Goodbye Future Funk by Chance De La Soul. My house is close to one end of the path, so many nights I just zone out and walk from one end to the other and back. My airpods aren’t visible under my hoodie (brag) so I wonder how many polite greetings I’ve blown past as music blares discreetly into my ear canals. My biggest worry is whatever micro-interaction fellow walkers might try to instigate.
This path is only a few blocks away from the main streets, but its foliage and placement makes large stretches of the path feel far away from any city. It’s a path that runs pretty much the length of the city I live in. I don’t mind walking in the dark, and if I go later at night the path isn’t as crowded. If it’s not too cold, I usually take a walk around 8pm.
