So, I’m bouncing around to random blogs. And, I come across NerdWoman. Hey, with a name like NerdWoman it has to be good right. Well, she links to a song, Hey Mister, by Candye Kane. (Actually, she’s hosting the song, so if you’re going to give it a listen, you should swing by NerdWoman’s site and give her a read).

I’d never heard of Candye Kane, but what a fun song. It’s this bawdy kind of horns and swing music. There were a couple of years there where swing sort of made a come back. Then, for some reason grungey, angry rock/rap came rushing back in — on commercial radio anyway. I want more fun music! Was it just kitsch? Give me more ska or swing or … I don’t know, just more horns.
