Day 20-A song from the 80s
"Talk Dirty to Me," Romeo Void (1981)
+1 Sexy
+1 Kinky (public sex, dirty talk)
+1 Kiss
+1 use of the word sex or a euphemism for it. ("I can make use of your body")
They never got the love they deserved. Coming out of the San Francisco punk world in a time when New Wave was taking over the air one keyboard riff at a time, Romeo Void was instead anchored by Debora Iyall's vocals and Benjamin Bossi's sax. They should have hit big. They had a great name, solid lyrics that were both frank and playful, a sound that was a mix of punk and funk, and Iyall was a revelation. She had a big voice, able to go from sexy to sardonic, impassioned to indifferent, turning on a dime, and as the band's lyricist, she owned her sexuality. Her most famous lyrics were "I might like you better if we slept together. But there something in your eyes that says maybe that's never. Never say never!" In a time of "just say no," it was refreshing. But it was an era of female singers being Pat Benatar clones, and their label didn't know what do to with a Native American (Cowlitz neechie, represent!) who wasn't rail thin, and the band got no support, despite a pair of moderate hits. In fact, the label cut support mid-tour, and the band imploded. Iyall tried a solo career that didn't get off the ground before returning to art, and Bossi died in 2022.
This song was never a hit, but it was awesome.

Fucking A. Listening to this song as an adult hits so much harder. It captures a very specific feeling perfectly

Day 20: A song from the 80's
Time to once again climb into the wayback machine and set the coordinates for the era of wearing out cassette tapes...
Yes, this is Dre and Yella from later N.W.A. fame, if you can believe it: "You can come or you can stay/ It'll be your decision/ But I'm Dr. Dre, and you'll love the way I make my incision." Of course, I was pretty ignorant to the world of gansta rap until well after it had first surfaced, and I had never heard of N.W.A. in the early 90s... so when 'The Chronic' hit big, some of my friends had a good laugh at my expense when I said, "oh is this Dr. Dre from the World Class Wreckin' Cru?" Naturally, they said, "no, it's Dre from NWA... what the hell is the World Class Wreckin' Cru?"
But I stand by the taste of my younger self. I got this cassette out of a bargain bin back in the 80s, and enjoyed it for years afterwards!

You should’ve received my memo via telepathy by now.

I don’t think the calliope music on repeat is technically 90’s. Maybe 1890’s?

Day 21: A song from the 90s
I've talked before about how Tegan and Sara helped me come to terms with who I was, how their queer music shone a light into my world and showed me, in a time where "HBT" (homo, bi, trans) had yet to be coined in Sweden, that everything was alright.
They sang about love, about sapphic attraction, without highlighting gender but still including it; normalization.
Being gay wasn't spectacular, it was just life.
Their first album, Under Feet Like Ours, was an indie release in 1999 and featured songs the twins had written while growing up, some as early as 15-16. How they came up with poetry like this is at such a young age is beyond me, but, I have an inkling that their enthusiastic use of LSD might've had something to do with it!
Tegan and Sara - Heavy
+1 Sexy song (Just listen to Sara murmuring you're all that I want in stereo through headphones... god, fffff
)
+1 Kiss
+1 Sex (Do you want it all? You're heavy in my heart, you're heavy in my hands, you're heavy in my mouth)
= 11
