Inaugural Posting

so ive been keeping a blog for a few weeks on my virb, and today i decided to start a blog here on blogger, supposing that would make a little more professional, if such a term can be applied to such a diy process. anyway, this is it, and moreforeplay is the name. i worked all day, then got home to discover that my cable modem needs replacing, which cant happen until monday. so ive been at a coffee shop the last few hours, figuring out how i want this thing and designing the header and favicon, which i someday hope to use for this page. if anyone knows how i can do that, please drop me a line. so the point here is that i really havent rooted around much today for musical gems. i found some items which seemed promising at first glance, but which were rather disappointing given my high hopes. for what theyre worth, ill share them, with a promise that tomorrow will be better, as i have the day off.

this first track nearly made me jump out of my seat with joy when i saw it. i actually clapped. remember, im in a public place today. so what is it, you ask?
only my favorite FEIST song, sea lion woman, remixed. i thought 'perfect!' but eh, so so. i mean its fun, it just wasnt the all out romp i had immediately imagined upon discovery.

feist: sea lion woman (chromeo remix)

heres another track which seemed huge on potential, but was unable to meet my lofty expectations. i think its a live cut from the quality, which could give it more life in a studio version. i hear NELLY FURTADO's 'say it right' like three times a day everyday at work, and it has become a guilty pleasure to some measure. damn ruckus doesnt have the track, so ive had to make do with the radio at work to fill my needs. so when i saw the track covered by BLOC PARTY of all people, i shat my britches on the spot. something hott made hotter was the thought, but you decide, as i have:

bloc party: say it right (nelly furtado live cover)


and finally, a track about which i know next to nothing. im unfamiliar with the artist, niyi, and too lazy/pressed for time to learn more. but i like it. so take it. and did i mention that this ones good? [how can it not be? look at the bloke]

niyi: 808 klap

so thats it for now. this shop closes in twenty minutes. no internet all night. pray for me. hope the downloads work all right, and theyll be gone in a week, so enjoy now, and buy the artists' shit!
