oh, Damon Albarn just popped up... How on earth did the singer from Blur make such good connections in US hip hop circles I wonder

I can't be posting Saxon albums in a thread such as this can I? I have to test you lot out a little

well i'm sure Saxon would be challenging for some people on here! This one's definitely a grower, but then a track like 'Sex (I'm A)' comes on and i'm glad the house is empty :laugh:

It's reminds me of... a sex-crazed Portishead? With various hip-hop legends relegated to offbeat skits. Notice the Hitchcock references in the song titles aswell? They were really taking the piss lol

edit: sample spotter - 'Everyone has a summer' samples 'Airplane!'

Have you ever heard the original? Classic sleaze.

Molecules got it easily. Right click and paste the PW when prompted.

Berlin. The song was a minor hit over here. It's on the same album as "The Metro".

I'd be happy to share if anyone's interested.

Can you please share? I'm not prompted for a password because I'm on a mac computer and the RAR opening procedure is different. Thanks budday!

I was actually talking about the Berlin song. But I should be able to help out on the Lovage front as well if you want.

Thank you thank you thank you for identifying this song! I've had the Lovage album since it came out, but never knew that was a cover until about three weeks ago when I was driving and heard the song on the radio. I said, hey, WTF? This sounds familiar! And this is awesome! But the radio station wasn't one of those that posts their play list online, and I'm not one of those that calls to ask, so I never found out.
