I'm a big fan of Tom Tom Club's hit singles 'Genius Of Love' and 'Wordy Rappinghood' so I was super exciting to find they are releasing their new album 'Genius of Live' on Feb 7th w/ a special remix by Señor Coconut!
The two-disc package will feature select tracks from their 'Live at The Clubhouse' album and new remixes of their timeless single, 'Genius Of Love'.'Live at The Clubhouse' documented the iconic group performing in front of close friends at their home studio. The band can be heard playing their hit singles 'Genius Of Love' and 'Wordy Rappinghood' as well as signature covers of Al Green's 'Take Me To The River' And Hot Chocolate's 'You Sexy Thing'. The performance was recorded shortly after the September 11th tragedy, converting the stress and paranoia of the times into positive energy.
Tom Tom Club was formed by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth in 1981. Graduates from the Rhode Island School of Design, they moved to New York City where they founded the Talking Heads as a trio with David Byrne in 1975. In early 1981, the Talking Heads took a hiatus after five years of touring internationally and four studio albums. Chris and Tina began the Tom Tom Club and signed with Chris Blackwell and Island Records.
"Genius Of Love" has been sampled since the early days of Hip Hop by a wide variety of artists including, Grandmaster Flash, Mariah Carey, Tupac Shakur and T.I. The second disc on this release features prominent Latin alternative artists like Ozomatli, Money Mark, Senor Coconut and The Pinker Tonestackling the track.
I was fortunate enough to meet ARI UP (AKA Ariane Forster -TheSlits/Madussa/TrueWarriors) last year The Slits played a reunion show @ Webster Hall. My good friend Maria Blueghost took me to see them saying "you gotta meet Ari" she's such a sweetheart! And she was :)

Remezcla.com teamed up w/ Nissan and SCVNGR to build a fun scavenger hunt in NY, LA, SF, and Chicago.
Some of the prizes are pretty sweet - iPad, Nike Sneakers, Free haircuts, designer t-shirts, concert tickets, Cameras, and a Nissan Juke car.
Only catch is you need an iPhone or Android to play the game. I own a Blackberry so that counts me out, BUT it doesn't stop me from getting excited for everyone else!
