Here we are with the all male vocal edition of Men - Mardi Gras Men. I wanted to get this done before the actual main party weekend but I had so much going on, I had to push it back further in the month. This coming of age 20th edition of Men wastes no time in getting into it. The set kicks off with the awesome remix of "My Universe" by Coldplay from my good friend Rob of Division 4 and then swings into the funky sound of "Good Times". 7th Heaven feature three remixes here. The first is for Guy Sebastian's "Battle Scars". Guy is one of my all time favourite male vocalists. He won the first season of Australian Idol and he's voice is sublime. I've met him a couple of times through work and he is an absolute delight. If you're not familiar with his music (he writes all of his songs), then check him out. I've also met Adam Turner a few times in London and he is also a delight. He is the lead vocalist on the song "Amazing" featured here. He is also a music producer and his remixes are awesome. I've know Wayne G. for years and he is so much fun. He throws in two beautiful mixes for Bruno Mars and Darren Hayes respectively and then we're off into the big room sound. Robbie Carrigan is producing some amazing remixes (check out his Soundcloud page) and here he delivers a top notch mix of "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life - another Australian band from the 80's. Toy Armada & DJ GRIND deliver two anthems for Hardwell and R5 respectively and how could I not include any set without a couple of stand out mixes from DJ Mark De Lang of Dirty Disco. Here he works his magic on "I Feel Love" and "Stay". The set closes out with another beautiful 7th Heaven remix for boy band A1. The men absolutely rule in this pumping set.

Cooper Roberts is an editor and director who just released his feature debut, All You Need is Blood—a delightfully gory tribute to Amblin-esque coming-of-age movies and zombie films. Cooper's background includes experience in advertising and music videos, and most notably, he was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2016 for co-directing the music video for Jack White's band, The Dead Weather, and their song “I Feel Love.”All You Need is Blood is a movie I really want to shout from the rooftops for more people to see. It's a love letter to childhood dreams of filmmaking and zombie movies and is full of charm and blood in equal measure. The effects are also awesome, and the movie is hilarious—I urge you to see it and tell your friends. All You Need is Blood is available to stream on the KINO app, which you can download today.In this conversation with Cooper we dig into the 6 plus year journey of bringing AYNIB to fruition, the challenges of relying on practical effects on indie movies and why casting is one of the most important elements of directing.Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Cooper Roberts.80% of Directing is CastingCooper cited a famous quote, commonly attributed to Elia Kazan, that directing is 80% casting. For this reason, he paid close attention to the casting process and took his time finding the right people, which tremendously helped bring the characters—and therefore the film—to life. Cooper noted that casting actors who naturally embody the character makes directing them much smoother and more intuitive. Casting actors outside their usual genres can also yield surprising performances, as audiences respond well to seeing familiar faces in unexpected roles, as was the case with Mina Suvari playing a comedic role, which brought a fresh, unexpected dimension to the film.Never underestimate good old cold outreach.With few industry connections, Cooper turned to IMDb Pro to cold-email indie producers. Out of a hundred emails, he connected with several promising candidates and eventually found a committed team. A lot of would-be filmmakers wait to be discovered or think it's the responsibility of an agent or manager to get their movies moving forward, but it's all on you. Even if you don't have representation, just reach out to people. Cold outreach might seem daunting, but when executed well, it can be highly effective in finding partners and funding resources.Build a ‘Brain Trust' for Script FeedbackWhile writing the script for All You Need is Blood, Cooper sought to create his own ‘brain trust' of script consultants and friends for feedback during the writing process, which he modeled after Pixar. Although he didn't take all the notes, he found the input invaluable, as even a "bad" note could highlight a weak spot in the story. He noted Stephen King's advice from On Writing—if multiple people give similar feedback on a section, it's worth reevaluating. It is very easy to fall in love with your own voice and be blind to glaring issues in your script because you're just too close to it to be objective. This is why it's crucial to have trusted advisors and confidantes who can help you mold your projects. For more on Brain Trusts, I highly recommend Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull, which outlines how Pixar was founded and how they operate to this day with a large emphasis on storytelling. Also, shoutout to script consultant Carson Reeves—Cooper and I both worked with him, and I can tell you he's great.

En 1977, le légendaire producteur Giorgio Moroder expérimentait avec le synthétiseur Moog pour créer un son futuriste. En collaboration avec Donna Summer, ils ont conçu une piste entièrement électronique, une première dans l'industrie de la musique. Le résultat fut le riff hypnotique d'« I Feel Love », qui allait changer à jamais la face de la musique pop et électronique.Donna Summer, malgré sa timidité et sa foi religieuse, s'est emparée de cette piste novatrice pour y insuffler une sensualité débordante. Sa voix puissante et envoûtante a propulsé le titre au rang de classique de la disco, brisant les barrières imposées par certaines maisons de disques qui le trouvaient trop audacieux.C'est précisément cette audace qui a fait d'« I Feel Love » un véritable tournant dans l'histoire de la musique. Le titre a ouvert la voie à l'essor de la musique électronique, inspirant des artistes tels que Daft Punk et Brian Eno, ce dernier ayant même qualifié le son de Moroder de « son du futur ».Aujourd'hui, « I Feel Love » continue de séduire les générations, comme en témoignent ses récentes utilisations dans des publicités et des films. Redécouvrez les coulisses captivantes de ce classique de la disco, qui a su traverser les décennies pour rester une référence incontournable.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.
When Donna Summer was recording her album I Remember Yesterday, she wanted each song to evoke a different decade. "I Feel Love" was meant to represent the future of music, and as time has gone on, that label has been proven to be a prophecy. Co-produced by Giorgio Moroder and Peter Bellotte, "I Feel Love" is a hypnotic, ethereal piece of synth music that's left an incomparable mark on music that still lingers to this day. From the house and techno movement to pop and R&B, Summer's song opened new doors and is still wildly beloved and popular on the dancefloor. On this week's episode, hosts Rob Sheffield and Brittany Spanos celebrate Donna Summer's massive impact on pop, R&B, electronic music and beyond and are joined by Bruce Sudano, Summer's husband, who began dating Summer around the time she recorded the song.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sequel to the ‘Lost In Eros' Trilogy By BradentonLarry – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. Preface This is a direct sequel to the Lost in Eros series. Ideally, you should have enjoyed that trilogy before this sequel. The ‘Lost In Eros' series is as long as The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring combined! So, it seems fair to offer a bit of a recap here… (If the original series is fresh in your mind, you might want to just move a head a minute, to the beginning of the actual chapter, which does include a very brief bit of reminder.) This sequel is also split into audio episodes (or, parts;) that are each about 30 minutes, for podcasting format. The actual literary chapters vary greatly in length, but you'll be notified when a new chapter starts, during an episode.In Book 1, “The Manor,” two friends, Don and Toshia wake up in a strange bed quite removed from their normal circumstances. Their relationship, though quite close, was purely platonic, and yet here they found themselves in bed together and naked. Throughout the ‘Lost in Eros' trilogy, Toshia struggles to find a way back to Sarah, her lover. In Book 2, “The Forest,” Don, Toshia, and their three companions encounter a centaur, the Witches of the Glen, an attack by some ruffians, & a nymph; before Toshia is then captured by the Sisterhood of Amazons. Toshia escapes into the forest again, where she meets and befriends the Beast, a lonely and very horny minotaur. Don and the others are caught by the Wizard. Once freed, Don leads his companions on a mission to rescue Toshia from the Sisterhood, fighting them in an epic kung fu battle that leads to him defeating their leader. In Book 3, “The Return,” Don, Toshia, and their companions return to their quest to find the Sage of the Tower. Using a flying carpet provided by the Wizard, until it crashes them in a pool in the middle of an odd place called The Resort, which they are then required to stay at and experience the attractions, such as the Clockwork Club, the Jungle Room, and Ladies Night. Once they are allowed to proceed up to the tower, Don, Toshia, and Nicole relate their stories to scribes the Sage, who is actually able to give them some useful information. Among other things, they find out that they can get back to the “real world” by going downriver to a place called the Grotto of Ishtar, that there seem to be rings some people have that allow them to go back and forth between that world and Eros at will, and that one person, a Stephanie Ayers, has been at work trying to find out more about these rings for some time. Intent on returning home, Toshia leads Don and Nicole back to the Resort and to a riverboat landing, where the party basically splits up into those heading downriver to the Grotto (Don, Toshia, and Shelonda) and those staying behind at the Resort (Nicole and the others). After one last night together in the Jungle Room (where Don hoped to encounter the sexy and mysterious India, who he thought had one of those special rings), Don, Toshia, and Shelonda head off on the riverboat, to the Grotto of Ishtar. In the Grotto, Don reveals that he has decided to stay in Eros to try to secure one of those rings. Toshia finishes the ritual alone and wakes up next to her girlfriend Sarah without any noticeable amount of time having passed at all. That very day, Toshia gets a phone call from Don, apparently returned from Eros. Chapter 1. Reunion As Toshia pulled into the parking lot she was a bit surprised to notice how nervous she was. It had been a week since her adventures in Eros—a week since she'd fallen asleep next to Sarah, awakened next to her dear (and decidedly platonic) friend Don, in a strange world of witches and wizards, not to mention centaurs, satyrs, and at least one minotaur. What followed were weeks of weird and sometimes frightening adventures, as well as more sex than most people had in their entire lives. Early on, she and Don became lovers, but this was hardly the limit of things! Amidst her adventures, Toshia had sex with countless men and women, often at the same time, as well as the aforementioned satyrs and minotaur, only to eventually find a way to wake up once again next to her beloved Sarah, the very same night she had fallen asleep in the first place. Toshia might have passed it off as a bizarre, extraordinarily vivid dream except for the fact that her body bore the unmistakable evidence of her time in Eros. She was tanner and in better shape than when she'd gone to bed, and there were a few bruises that could only be explained by the vigorous sex she'd indulged in aboard the Maidenhead, the ship captained by the enigmatic Captain Sage. Strangely, Sarah hardly noticed any changes in her, but Toshia could hardly ignore the effects of her experiences in Eros, not just on her body but in her attitude. While the XYZ no longer coursed through her veins, making her body a perpetually revved up sex machine, she was still alive to the joys and possibilities of carnality all around her in a way that was quite different from her earlier life, though she had always thought she had a sex-positive attitude. In the last week, Toshia's sex life with Sarah had certainly been rekindled, but she had also noticed that she was keenly aware of the sexuality of the people around her, at work, in the park, at the grocery store, and so on. While there was no danger of her losing control and succumbing to temptation, she could hardly deny that she now had sex on her mind as never before. Finally, the last nail in the it-was-all-a-dream coffin was the fact that Don had called her, about six hours after she had awakened and quickly corroborated her experience in a rather one-sided conversation. They had agreed to meet the following weekend, Don traveling to spend the weekend—ostensibly just to catch up with his friend. That “ostensibly” was the rub. Toshia still hadn't told Sarah anything. Hell, she had no idea how to begin. “Hey, babe, so while you were sleeping, I was somehow taken to another world and had all kinds of adventures. Oh, and I had lots and lots of sex with other people, including Don.” Toshia couldn't see any way to either convince Sarah she wasn't crazy, but even if she did that, how would she manage to make Sarah believe all that sex was something Sarah should accept? It was a mess, no question. Toshia hoped Don would have some ideas about this. One thing Toshia was sure of, though, was that there would be no shenanigans until Sarah knew the truth. This commitment was put to the test a bit when Toshia saw Don there, outside the Thai restaurant they'd agreed on as a rendezvous. He grinned so happily as he saw her, his arms felt so good around her, and his breath felt so warm on her neck… and then they were kissing, deeply, passionately. For Toshia it just felt natural. This was the nature of their relationship now. Still she managed to push him away a bit, smiling and blushing a little. “I haven't told Sarah yet,” she admitted. He looked into her eyes, still grinning, “Oh, yeah, no, that's alright. It's just been so long; I've missed you so much!” “Well, a week isn't that long,” she laughed. “A week for you, maybe,” chuckled Don. “I was in Eros for years before I called you last week.” “Years?!” “Yeah, there was a lot to get done,” he smiled. Toshia noticed the dark metal ring he wore on his left middle finger. “You got one, eh?” Don nodded, “I did indeed.” “What did you have to do?” Don blew a little raspberry, “Quite a bit, really. I'll tell you all about it, but let's actually get some lunch; I'm starving!” “Now that's the Don I remember,” she laughed as he opened the door. Strangely awkward idle conversation filled the space around being seated and ordering—"How's Sarah?“ “Good.” “Work going alright?” “Yes. How's your semester so far?"—until they were able to get down to serious business. "Okay,” Toshia leaned forward over the table. “Tell me everything!” Don laughed and said, “Well, where to begin…?” “At the Grotto of Ishtar, obviously.” “Okay, but I'm going to have to be brief if you want the whole story before we meet Sarah for dinner.” “She works until six, so we have some time,” Toshia said seriously, but with a smile. “Get on with it, Professor.” “Okay, okay,” he chuckled as he spread his hands out on the table. “Well, Shelonda and I swam back up to the longboat, which took us back to Sage's ship, which took us back to Rendezvous.” “I think you're already leaving too much out.” Don smiled, then looked around to reassure himself that the restaurant wasn't busy and that they were indeed sitting in the back corner, well away from the other customers, and then continued. “As before, but without your assistance, Shelonda had to make herself available for the crew. She didn't seem to mind.” “I'll bet,” Toshia grinned, “and what were you up to?” “Well, Sage watched me play with Megan and Jasmine again that afternoon, but she could tell my heart wasn't in it.” “Aw,” Toshia smirked, “but other parts of you were up to the challenge, I'll bet.” “Well, yeah, but I was definitely less enthusiastic after saying goodbye to you. Sage picked up on this, and, honestly, we spent most of that trip talking.” “In Eros? Crazy!” “I know, right?” Don leaned on the railing in front of him and observed the scene on the deck below. Someone had gathered sheets and pillows to make a fairly comfortable, and rather large, sex nest for Shelonda and her many playmates. As the sun set, and the crew finished their daytime duties, they cleaned up and joined Shelonda for what was rapidly becoming an epic gangbang. The red-golden light played over her dark skin as she knelt there surrounded by hard cocks, taking one after the other into her eager mouth, and then as she moved onto her hands and knees to receive cocks from both ends. It was hard for Don to make out details, particularly as the sunlight faded to be replaced by torchlight, but he could hear the unmistakable sounds of Shelonda's rising pleasure. “You travel in enthusiastic company,” Sage observed as she came up next to Don. “So do you, Captain,” Don smiled. “It's a wonder you keep them all in line.” “Well, Megan and Jasmine are happy to help out with that, and most of them don't mind playing with each other. Some even prefer it.” Don noticed that the good captain had dropped any piratic pretenses, at least for the time being. He decided to ask about what had been bothering him for more than two days, “What about you, though?” “What about me?” she asked with an arched eyebrow. “Well, for starters,” Don paused thoughtfully, “do you ever lend a hand, so to speak?” Sage snorted a bit, “That would make it very hard to maintain discipline, wouldn't it?” Don nodded, “Perhaps, but you've never… not even as a special occasion?” “No,” she said firmly. While he considered his next line of inquiry, Don thought back to everything he'd heard and surmised about Eros, including the situation he and Toshia had encountered in the castle of the Sisterhood. “You seem unique, captain,” Don finally said. “I haven't met anyone else in Eros who doesn't seem very much interested in sex.” Sage laughed, “You mean who isn't consumed by their urge to fuck.” Smiling at her, Don nodded, “Exactly.” There was a long pause. Below them, Shelonda was sandwiched between a burly sailor lying underneath her, who had himself deep inside her pussy, and a tall, black man who was fucking in and out of her ass. There were two or three men in front of her, apparently enjoying both the show and whatever she was doing to them with her talented mouth. Everyone seemed to be having a very good time. “I like you, Don,” Sage said at last. “Go ahead and ask your questions.” Don smiled, “I like you too, Sage.” Then, after a considering his options, he asked, “Do you like sex? I mean, some people don't.” She laughed, “Yes, I do like sex.” “But you never…?” “Well, yes, when I first got here, for like the first two days, I was just like everyone else. But then it occurred to me that I had completely lost control of myself. I like being the captain, Don. I'm not judging you, or anyone else, but I decide when and where to have sex, and with whom. If the answer is everywhere all the time and with everyone, I'm letting my urges use me as a means to their satisfaction. I wouldn't be a moral agent, hardly even a person, then. I'd rather be the captain.” “You're a philosopher,” Don grinned. “That was a long time ago,” shrugged Sage. “You've been here a long time, but ever since those first couple of days…?” She chuckled, “Well, now and then I fall off the wagon. Megan, Jasmine, and Sven don't seem to mind.” “I'll bet they don't!” Don said with sincere admiration. “Were you like this before you got here, Don?” “Horny?” “Ha! No. I mean, so upfront about things.” “Yeah, pretty much,” he shrugged. “It's a nice trait. Don't lose it.” “Thanks, ‘don't plan to,” Don laughed. He took a moment to admire her profile as she idly watched Shelonda getting picked up and then laid on her back with her legs splayed and ready for the next of her playmates. He found himself liking her nose almost as much as the curve of her breasts. He swallowed and asked, “So, um, feel like ‘falling off the wagon'?” She smirked and gave him a sidelong glance, “Nice try, my friend, nice try.” “So the two of you never…?” Toshia asked as she sipped her tea. “Well, never is a long time,” Don chuckled. “Let me tell the story. I promise not to leave anyone important out.” “Just the scores of nameless women you pleasured along the way,” she said wryly. “I'm sure the vast majority of them had names.” “'Stands to reason,” nodded Toshia. “Go on.” “Well, Shelonda and I disembarked at Rendezvous, and made our way back to the riverboat landing.” “Was the city easier to navigate this time?” “Yes, it was. I think it helped that I knew where we were going.” “Were you able to get back in the mood?” “Yeah,” Don admitted. “The non-stop orgy going on all around helped, along with the XYZ, naturally, but there wasn't a day or night that went by when I didn't think of you. Sure, sometimes it was in the middle of sex when I'd wish you were there to sit on my face…” he smiled across the table. “But you were always on my mind.” She smiled warmly, “At least once a day.” “And once a night,” Don grinned. “Shelonda missed you too. She threw herself into the sex even more vigorously than before, but I could tell she was preoccupied when she wasn't, well, otherwise occupied. I asked her about it, and she said, 'I don't think I ever had a sister, except Toshia.'” “Damn, Don!” Toshia breathed, wiping a tear out of her eye. “Get back to the story.” “Well, that's actually relevant. We went back up the river to the Resort. I wanted to see if India was around… Remember, she's the one I thought had one of these rings. She does, but she wasn't there. Anyway, I wanted to look for her and talk to the Sage again. But while we stopped at the Resort, I lost Shelonda.” “What?!” Somehow it felt like much more than almost two weeks since they had left the Resort. As Don and Shelonda made their way past the various clubs and bungalows, he thought it seemed smaller and a bit less over-the-top. Certainly, Rendezvous had been bigger, but Don suspected it was a strange familiarity that rendered the Resort more prosaic. He felt most comfortable here. First, there was a lack of sinister mystery that had haunted their time in the Manor, and Rendezvous had very much felt like something to be passed through, both times. Plus, there was a nice variety here that he enjoyed, even if that variety was rather hokey, bordering on the ludicrous. He noticed that a few of the people lounging and frolicking about had bits of clothing on here and there, which reminded him of the garments Shelonda and he had discarded way back in that odd tavern outside Rendezvous and on the Maidenhead, respectively. This thinking reminded Don of all the travels and adventures he, Toshia, Shelonda, and the others had enjoyed, though that wasn't quite the word for all of it. With all this in mind, Don reached out and took Shelonda's hand. She smiled back at him. “Thank you for all your help, Shelonda, and for your support and company. You've been a very good sport.” She laughed, “It's mostly been a lot of fun, really. I promised to help you and Toshia find your way home, and I'm glad I was able to do that, even if you decided not to go back.” “Yes, mission accomplished!” Don grinned. “You did a fantastic job!” “All the sex was fun too,” Shelonda winked. “Uh,” Don pulled her close and gave her a kiss. “It definitely was! We should get back to that soon.” “Good idea!” They might have stopped there and gone at it without a second thought, but they had already come to the Jungle Room, so they hurried inside. Again, Don was struck by the fact that the place was clearly larger on the inside. To this was added the fact that things had been rearranged rather radically in the last couple of weeks. The large wooden structure that had been the main feature—with its dancefloor and stories of open-air sex platforms, and a bathtub—was gone. Instead, more centrally located, there was a large wooden dance floor on the ground level of the “jungle.” A vast, colorful canopy was spread over the dancefloor, which featured poles for dancing and big cushioned chairs for another kind of dancing. The whole assembly made up a kind of pavilion as the focal point for those coming into the Jungle Room. The pool had been moved back, so that it was behind the pavilion, and it now boasted a fountain shooting water high into the air, in addition to the waterfall, the source of which seemed to be bubbling up from a pile of rocks off to the side. The blankets, clearing, lounges and fire pits had been redistributed about the jungle floor, and Don was pretty sure the trees and treehouses had been relocated as well. “It's different,” Shelonda said with a frown, as if to confirm Don's thinking. Then she shrugged and headed in, moving toward the dance pavilion. Don followed close behind, reminding himself that he needed to pay attention to more than her swaying backside. There were fewer people in the jungle than there had been before. There was a single woman dancing lazily around one of the poles, and another straddling the lap of the only man in that area. As he got closer, Don saw that the lap dancer was none other than Jaden, who flashed him a quick smile and wink before going back to her intent grinding in time to the music that filled the space below the canopy. Don smiled as he remembered the lithe, rather enthusiastic redhead. Coming out on the other side of the dance pavilion, Don wasn't exactly surprised that the volume of the music diminished considerably. Shelonda pulled up, and turned to Don with a smile, “Who was it we're looking for?” “India, but you didn't meet her before, did you?” “I don't think so, no.” “Beautiful woman with long black hair, and dark skin… not quite as dark as yours, though,” Don smiled. “I'll go look around for her. You should just relax and have fun, and I'll catch up to you in a bit. Oh, but if you see someone who might be India, try to keep track of her.” “Will do,” Shelonda grinned, then added with a saucy little smirk, “Don't take too long.” Don watched for a moment as she sauntered off toward the pool. He thought a refreshing dip in the water would be quite nice, followed by a long session of fucking Shelonda… but he really was dead set on finding India if she were there. With a quiet little groan, Don turned to the left and started his search. Working clockwise around the Jungle Room, Don checked each thatch-roofed hut and treehouse. He found the big orgy bed/platform half-hidden among some brush, as well as a set of four hot tubs near one another, set up, he surmised, so that people could watch each other and easily switch tubs if they wanted. There was a single couple enjoying one of the hot tubs, and a pair of women apparently napping after enjoying themselves in one of the tree houses, but no sign of India. Don made his way back to the pavilion and had an opportunity to get a better look at the new (for him) dancer. She was a leggy blonde with the kind of body a Playboy centerfold would envy. Her long hair was tied up, showing off her long, graceful neck. She had large, firm breasts held in check by a skimpy bikini top, which was a rather unusual bit of clothing for Eros. Her sexy hips were wrapped in a silky sarong, and Don got a glimpse of a matching bikini bottom covered her sex—again, very odd for Eros. She smiled at Don and nodded toward the chair in front of her pole, which was criminally empty. Don would have happily taken that spot, but at that very moment, Jaden got off her admirer's lap and shouted, “Hey there, Don! Welcome back!” As the lucky guy got up and started to head toward the pool to clean up and cool off, Jaden crossed the dance floor and threw herself into Don's arms. Don reveled in the feeling of Jaden's tits pressed against his chest as her mouth met his with a passionate kiss. He held her body tightly against him as their lips and tongues got reacquainted, and then moved his hands down to squeeze her tight ass firmly. When they finally came up for air, Jaden smiled over to the other dancer and said, “I'm going to take a quick break, Robin. Think you can get along without me?” Robin gave a haughty laugh and said, “I'll find a way to manage.” Don noticed that four or five guys had just come into the Jungle Room and were heading Robin's way, but then he was yanked to attention by Jaden tugging on his hand. “Let's go gang up on that cute friend of yours,” Jaden suggested. “I like the way you think!” Don laughed. Before they got to the poolside, though, Don thought to ask, “Is India around?” “I don't think so. I haven't seen her since she was here redecorating the other day.” Don wanted to ask about this redecorating, but he was suddenly distracted by the sight of Shelonda, who was quite busy at the moment. Beneath her was a strapping young black man who had his hands full with Shelonda's luscious tits, and presumably his cock up inside her pussy. Behind her, with hands alternately gripping her waist and caressing her tight butt, was a rather fit middle-aged guy who seemed to be fucking her ass. All of this was taking place on a wide chaise lounge that must have been stronger than it looked. Shelonda saw Don and gave him a big, very happy smile, but then went right back to encouraging her playmates, who Don suspected needed very little further encouragement. “'Guess we're too late,” Jaden laughed. Then she pulled Don with her into the pool. Laughing along with Jaden's exuberance, Don ducked under the water, enjoying the refreshing splash and noticing that the XYZ, along with everything else, already had his cock rigidly hard. Jaden noticed this as well when her hand wrapped around his thick shaft and pulled him to her for another deep and lingering kiss. Don hugged Jaden's slender body to him with his left arm, as his right hand delved between her legs. Jaden pulled and twisted his cock insistently as his fingers stroked her lips, parting them and then pushing up between them. Jaden threw her free arm around Don's neck and pushed up out of the water to wrap her legs around his waist. He pulled his arm out from between them, using it instead to help support Jaden as she positioned his cock just right and then sank down upon it. Don groaned as he felt her hot sex enveloping him, pulling down on his cock until his head hit her cervix. They kept kissing, their tongues moving eagerly against each other, as Jaden rocked her hips in the water, grinding her clit against the base of Don's shaft and squeezing and stroking the rest of his organ with her exquisitely talented muscles. When she finally began to move up and down on him, Don's hands slid down her wet back to hold her ass tightly. Feeling her legs flex around him, Don helped to raise and lower Jaden on him as the water splashed around and between them. Out of the corner of his eye, Don could see the backsides of the men plowing into Shelonda, and beyond that, up at the dance pavilion, it looked like the new guests of the Jungle Room were gathered around Robin, who seemed to be on her knees. Shuddering, Don closed his eyes and focused on the sensations of this wild, passionate woman in his arms—her mouth on his, her arms around his neck, her tits against his chest, her thighs squeezing his hips, her hot pussy squeezing and pulling on his straining manhood. For herself, Jaden was using Don's body to stimulate herself to a fever pitch. Her earlier lap dance and the aphrodisiac qualities of the XYZ water combined with the passionate sex to bring her quickly over the edge. She cried out as the first wave hit her. Don held onto her body, shoving up into her as she clutched at him wildly. Jaden was biting his lip as he felt himself exploding up into her, a boiling hot geyser of condensed lust pumping into her. “Fuck!” Don breathed at last. Jaden kissed him, and chuckled, “That's how we welcome people back to the Jungle Room.” “Wow! It's a very good way!” Don laughed. “I'm glad you like it,” Jaden grinned as she rocked herself against him, still impaled on his persistently hard cock. Don noticed that the slender young man who Jaden had danced for earlier was now reclining at the edge of the pool, and Shelonda's threesome was taking a bit of a break. “Why don't we move this over to the hot tubs?” Don suggested with a squeeze of Jaden's ass. “Good idea!” she kissed him again, and slowly eased herself up off his cock. Then she turned around and easily loud enough to be heard by everyone in the area, “Let's all go to the hot tubs!” Soon Don, Shelonda, Jaden, the other three guys, and a petite woman of apparently Indian or Pakistani extraction with full breasts and a cute short hair style who Don had not noticed but who had been watching all the assorted sex in the pool, were playing in one of the hot tubs. Shelonda was sucking on the cock of the young man Jaden had entertained earlier, while Jaden was sitting back on the lap of the black guy with his cock up her ass and the middle-aged guy was fingering her pussy and sucking on her beautiful tits. Meanwhile, Don had the new girl, whose name he never did learn, sit up on the edge of the hot tub so he could go down on her moist pussy and sensitive clit. She was holding his head to her, gasping and shuddering with her second orgasm, and Don was about to rise up and slide into her ready embrace when he heard a familiar voice cry out, “Professor!” “And Shelonda's here too!” said a second voice. With a parting kiss to the woman's sex, Don looked around to see Amy and Nicole standing over the hot tub, both of them naked and every bit as beautiful as Don remembered. “Hi there,” Don smiled. “Come on in and join the party.” In what seemed like only seconds, Nicole had gotten Don's newest friend into a 69, and Amy was sitting in the tub with Don standing in front of her, his cock filling her talented mouth. This was the beginning of a long orgy that lasted for at least an hour. Ultimately, though, Don was left in the tub surrounded by his four lovely friends. Jaden was idly stroking his cock in the water, and Shelonda was sandwiched between Amy and Nicole, who were having a hard time keeping their hands and mouths off Shelonda's body. It was then that Nicole started to press Don for details about the quest to the Grotto of Ishtar and the return trip. Of course, since they were soaking in a hot vat of XYZ the story was interrupted by mischief several times. Don and Shelonda finally finished telling the tale and they all went to look for something to eat, but then returned to the Jungle Room where they took over one of the tree houses for a long, intense little orgy where the plan seemed to be to see how many orgasms they could give Shelonda, who was ultimately reduced to a quivering, giggling state before passing out. Don held her in his arms and the others, including Jaden, snuggled in around them. Just before surrendering to sleep, Don kissed Shelonda's shoulder and thought it was very nice to be reunited with most of the original sextet, particularly here in the Resort. “When I woke up, Shelonda was just gone,” Don frowned. “We looked around everywhere but there was no sign of her, and no one could remember her getting up in the night. It seems that she just fell asleep in Eros and woke up back here, wherever she was originally from.” “Damn,” Toshia breathed. “Yeah, it was hard to take, I admit. I knew what was going on when you left, but this was a real punch in the gut. It hit Nicole and I hardest; the others seemed more inclined to just roll with things.” “It doesn't sound like she was bored, though,” Toshia frowned. Don shook his head, “No, definitely not. My theory has been that she felt fulfilled. Accomplishing our 'mission,' and returning to her friends, and maybe all the sex that day, all combined to maybe mean that she didn't need Eros anymore. She was ready to come back, so she did.” Toshia reached across the table and took Don's hand, then said, “It must have been very hard.” “Yeah, it was,” Don smiled wanly. “However, for me it was quite a while ago. Ah, here's our food.” Don Meets Stephanie Ayers at the Disco. Chapter 2. The Lead “Hum, I've missed having food this good!” Don sighed. “I didn't miss it at the time, really, but now it feels like I've been starving for it.” Toshia laughed, “I thought the same thing, and I was in Eros for a much shorter time.” “It reminds me of that Star Trek: The Next Generation episode where Picard lives a whole life…” Don stopped when he saw the look he was getting. “Right; not the story you want me to tell.Toshia's smirk just made him want to lean across the table and kiss her, but Don shrugged and said, “Well, after we stopped looking for Shelonda, I thought it would be a good idea to check in at the Abbey of Records to see if Charlotte, you know, the Sage, could possibly give me any more information about those rings.” “She didn't seem to know much, when we were there.” “No, but I thought it was worth a try, particularly since India was nowhere to be found. Nicole came along, and we went through the whole sexy bathing and debriefing thing again. Unfortunately, though, as you guessed, Charlotte couldn't say more about the rings themselves, but she was helpful. She told us that that woman, Stephanie Ayers, had recently reported back in too. Apparently, she had discovered a lead.” “This was the woman who had been looking for a way to get a ring for a long time, right?” “Right,” Don nodded. “Anyway, Charlotte said that Stephanie had been there just two days earlier. Luckily, Charlotte told her that I might be looking for her, and Stephanie said she'd spend a few days hanging out at the Resort, and that she'd try checking in with the Sheriff's office at noon and sundown.” Toshia was impressed, “That's a very lucky break! Did you catch up with her?” As they came down together from the Abbey, Nicole had been quiet and Don had been in a hurry, but as they came back into the Resort, Nicole apparently decided to speak up, saying, “So, if you have one of these rings you can come and go from Eros whenever you want?” “That's what I understand,” Don nodded, still leading the way. “I mean, we don't have the particulars, but that's the idea.” “That seems like a pretty damn cool thing to have.” Don looked over his shoulder with a smile, “Thinking about joining me on my little quest?” With a laugh and a shrug, she said, “Sure, why not?” “It could take a lot of time, and we might have to go a long way,” offered Don. “Something tells me we'll still have a lot of fun, Professor.” Don had to admit that did seem highly likely. Then they had come to the sheriff's office. Opening the door, they were a bit surprised, oddly enough, to see the sheriff sitting on the edge of her desk, with cute little Mike on her knees in front of her, face buried in the pretty sheriff's pussy. As before, the sheriff was wearing cowboy boots, a light denim vest, a shiny six-pointed star badge, and a pleated skirt that was bunched up so her assistant, or deputy, could lick her properly. The sheriff was wearing her long, strawberry blonde hair in twin braid pigtails, and her vest had fallen open to expose her firm breasts and hard pink nipples. Don and Nicole paused there in the doorway, but only for a second, before they moved toward the two women, Nicole moving to the right and Don to the left. In another moment they had each lowered their mouth to one of the sheriff's nipples, sucking and flicking their tongues over her sensitive nubs. The sheriff groaned and shuddered with approval, so they kept at it until, only a minute or two after their arrival, the sheriff came with a whimpering shaking and gasping that Don found adorable. Obviously, it would have been rude to jump right in and ask the sheriff if she'd seen Stephanie Ayers. So, instead, he smiled at her and continued to caress her lean body. But then, Mike started more mischief, by moving over to the pussy on her right, that is Nicole's. Like Don, Nicole had given up on clothing days ago and so was unprotected from Mike's eager fingers and mouth, not that Nicole wanted any protection in that regard, and was, very soon, leaning back against the sheriff's desk as Mike eagerly lapped at her pussy and clit. The sheriff responded to this turn of events by grasping Don's hard cock, which had been pressed up against her firm thigh, and pulling him over in front of her. Don smiled and looked into her blue eyes as she guided his very ready cock to the mouth of her sex. He pushed forward, his head and thick shaft opening her up, and enjoyed the expression of unadulterated pleasure on her freckled face. To get more penetration, Don lifted her long right leg up, laid it across the corner of the desk, and then proceeded to fuck in and out of her, keeping her from scooting back from him by wrapping his right arm around her slender body. Next to them, Nicole had pushed Mike back only to get down on the floor with her in a tight little 69. The sheriff had her hands on Don's ass, pulling him into her insistently, and he was shoving up into her violently, grinding up on her clit with each thrust forward. Don held onto her with his left hand and used his right to lift her left leg up onto his shoulder, proceeding to fuck her harder and faster. The sheriff leaned back on the desk and looked up at him with eyes glazed over with feral lust and quickly approaching orgasm. She reached down between them with her slender fingers and began to play with her clit, and then she was crying out and whimpering as her climax tore through her lithe body. Don kept plunging into her as her pussy clenched and pulled on his cock. He loved watching her ponytails flailing about and her taut abs trembling as she rode the waves of ecstasy. “That was great!” she finally murmured. “Don, wasn't it?” “Ah, yes, exactly.” “Did you want to see me about something urgent or do you have time to come for me?” Taken a bit aback, Don laughed and said, “Oh, I definitely have time for that!” “Good!” she nodded decisively. She pushed Don back and he reluctantly drew himself out of her. She promptly turned around and bent over her desk, spreading her long, muscular legs, presenting her backside for Don. The girls on the floor next to him were moaning and doing their best to distract him, but Don had no trouble focusing on the sight in front of him. He ran his hands up the sides of those beautiful thighs, under the skirt, which had fallen back into place a bit, and over her tight ass. The sheriff looked over shoulder, and said, “Fuck me, Don.” With her freckles and ponytails, she was about the cutest young woman to ever say that to him, and he wasted no time in obliging her. Flipping the skirt up out of the way, Don pushed his cock down and back into her waiting pussy, shoving all the way in with one slow but intent motion. As the girls on the floor were bringing themselves to mutual, very loud, orgasms, Don held onto the sheriff's waist and pulled her back on his cock as he shoved into her again and again, feeling his balls slapping against her fingertips as she went back to playing with her clit. It didn't take much of this before Don felt his cock swelling inside the sheriff and his balls tightening. Then he was shoving hard inside her and groaning as his body clenched with all its might and spewed a hot flood of cum into her pussy and womb. He shuddered and shook, pumping what felt like an unending stream. He could feel the cum leaking out of her and running over his balls. When he finally began to regain his senses and equilibrium, warm hands pulled him away from the sheriff, resulting in an almost funnily long rope of cum between her messy pussy and the tip of his slick cock. Then Mike was there, eagerly sucking his cock into her mouth, as Nicole dove in to lick at the sheriff, burying her cute little face in the mess Don had left behind. “Hum” Toshia smiled, “but aren't you getting a bit sidetracked?” “Okay, okay,” Don laughed, glancing quickly at his watch. “Well, eventually, the sheriff said Stephanie had been in earlier and said she would be at Club 69 that evening and would be wearing a red dress, ‘at least to start.'” After spending at least an hour with the sheriff and Mike, Don and Nicole went for a dip in the pool, followed by a nap on a chaise lounge. Don was awakened by the pleasant sensation of Amy's mouth on his cock. She had snuck up on Don and Nicole as they slept but couldn't resist the sight of Don's casual erection. They were soon joined by pretty Liu and Toshia's friend Jimmy, from the Temple of Venus and Aphrodite, and the whole party spent the rest of the afternoon in a lazy poolside orgy. Eventually, after another dip in the pool to refresh themselves, they all set off in what Liu promised was the way to Club 69. Along the way they passed a few more interesting clubs, such as The Dungeon and the Drag Inn, as well as a street stand that offered the usual display of fruit and water. It was growing dark by the time they got to the last three clubs on that particular street. On their right was a brightly lit, mostly open-air affair called Mardi Raw, which was already busy with revelers enjoying the obviously New Orleans and Rio themed decor and music. Don was surprised how many people were wearing clothes, and even masks. Then he noticed a nearby shop they had just passed, the Wardrobery. Don thought that was probably where Stephanie got the red dress she was supposed to be wearing. He had half a mind to go in and see what kind of an assortment they had but decided that could wait. To the left of Mardi Raw, and taking up the end of the street, was a darker club called simply The Grotto, and then, opposite Mardi Raw, was their destination, Club 69. Don really hadn't expected to see so much neon in Eros. The building before them was white and seemed to be about fifty feet tall, though Don suspected it might be quite a bit taller on the inside. Over the four sets of high, black double glass doors that took up most of the street front, was a huge bright neon sign clearly identifying this as their destination. The “Club” was in blue, and the “69” was in searing red. There was a decidedly 1970s feel to it. Don started toward the doors, but Liu stopped him, saying, “Oh, people usually dress up a bit for the 69.” “Ironic,” Nicole said under breath. Since he wanted to check out the Wardrobery anyway, Don had no trouble smiling and saying, “Lead the way.” It turned out to be a self-service clothing warehouse four floors high. The menswear was on the top floor, and Don and Jimmy were quickly able to find some fairly nice clubbing clothes that fit them. Don laughed as he saw the collection of actual disco shoes, platforms and all, that were available in one corner. Rather than risking his neck, he chose a more sensible set of shoes, though they did have three-inch-high heels that seemed rather precarious at first. When they gathered on the street out front, Don wasn't surprised that the three women were stunning in their sexy, slinky dresses. Both Nicole and Amy had selected silk dresses that hung from their necks by thin straps and came to an end just below their butts, Nicole's in white and Amy's in yellow. Liu was wearing a much longer red dress that had a very long slit up each side and a black cord cinching it in around her narrow waist. Each of the women had also selected very sexy high-heeled shoes that were bound to their ankles and calves by thin straps. Once again, Don was so glad he was in Eros where he could be very confident that he would soon be having sex with at least one of these gorgeous women. “Okay, we're looking for a thin woman with brown hair that comes down to her shoulders,” Don reminded everyone. “And she's got big tits for her size,” Nicole added. “Yeah, I guess she's about as tall as Nicole here,” Don nodded, trying to remember if the Charlotte the Sage had said anything else. “And she should be wearing a red dress.” “And her name is Stephanie,” Nicole finished. “Oh yeah, that might help,” Don laughed. They entered the club and, quite expectedly, they were hit with a wall of sound they had not heard at all on the street. The heavy four-four beat of standard disco music filled the space, throbbing insistently through the air. Don was sure they were hearing a version of Donna Summer's “I Feel Love.” The vast majority of what looked like the ground floor was taken up by a flashing colored dance floor straight out of Saturday Night Fever. There were moving spotlights, strobe lights, and even a couple of mirror balls hanging from the ceiling. There were a lot more people dancing than Don had expected. Around three sides of the dance floor, excepting the area directly in front of the front doors, were semi-circular booths with padded seating for when a break from the dancing was needed. There were scantily clad wait staff moving about in this area carrying trays of fruit and glasses of water. Don noticed that the atmosphere, literally and figuratively speaking, was less intense than in the disco in the Manor. Things here were a bit less heady, not quite so loud, and certainly quite a bit brighter. As the party naturally headed for the dancefloor, Don caught Nicole's wrist, pulled her to him, and said, “Don't leave here without me, okay?” She smiled and nodded, then gave him a wink before swaying off toward the center of the dance floor. Perhaps because they weren't dancing in a fog of XYZ, and perhaps a bit because they were generally wearing more clothes, the dancers here were engaged in a lot less sex than their counterparts in the disco in the Manor. Now and then couples, and sometimes groups would leave the dancefloor and head for one of the booths off to the side, or disappear up one of the winding stairways Don now saw in the back corners, flanking a broad stage, which was currently unused and which itself surrounded a high DJ station. The crowd was the usual Erosian assortment of surprisingly healthy people ranging from apparent late teens to unusually vigorous senior citizens, though there were comparatively fewer of the latter. Almost everyone was wearing clothes, but there were a few happy nudists be-bopping away, and it was clear that some folks were in the process of slowly stripping off the clothes with which they'd started. People weren't really disco dancing, as such, at least not as far as Don remembered the style from his youth. Smiling at all the sexy bumping and grinding going on around him, he didn't think anyone would appreciate being corrected on that particular score. “By the way,” Don paused. “I'm not really sure, but I swear I saw Adam Levine across the room.” “What?!” Toshia laughed. “The actor? From Maroon 5?” “I know,” he shrugged, “it's crazy, but I'm pretty sure that was him, wearing a white John Travolta suit and a black satin shirt.” “Dancing?” “Well, not so much as standing there, getting a blowjob.” “Crazy!” Toshia shook her head. Don did his best to scour the room for a woman in a red dress who might be Stephanie Ayers, but he had to admit that the chaotic lighting and the distracting bodies in motion made things a bit difficult. Half a dozen times Don found himself thinking he would love to dance with one or two of the lovely women moving so provocatively all around him. He had nearly crossed the entire floor, and was considering heading up stairs, both to see what was up there and to continue his search, when he felt a tapping on his shoulder. He turned to see a slender woman with thick, dark tousled hair framing her face. She had striking mascara and eyeshadow on as well as dark red lipstick, which amounted to more makeup than Don had seen in a long time. A sheer red dress with a wildly uneven hem hung from around her neck and clung to her generous bosom but left exposed her thin but muscular arms and shoulders, as well as one whole leg and the calf of the other, all nicely toned and tan. Don noticed that she also had a lovely long neck. She smiled a bit crookedly, and asked, “Looking for someone?” “Are you Stephanie?” he grinned. “That's what they call me,” she nodded as she stepped up and slipped her arms around his neck. “You Don?” “That's me,” he nodded, noticing that his hands automatically moved to her waist as they started swaying together in time with the music. He could feel that her body was extremely thin and fit, even for an Erosian. “I have to admit, you're younger than I expected.” “What were you expecting?” she arched her eyebrow at him in a way that reminded him of Toshia, though the way the right side of her mouth turned up higher than the left was all her own. “I don't know,” he shrugged, “but older, more experienced.” She laughed, “Oh, believe me, I'm experienced! But yeah, I was just 20 when I woke up here, so I suppose I still look about that. Counting Eros years, though, I'm more like 40.” “Well, you look amazing for your age,” Don laughed. “Ha! Thanks,” she smiled. “You're not so bad yourself.” The music shifted to a slow dance, and Stephanie moved in closer, resting her head on Don's chest. Don adjusted his embrace to hold her tighter. He had to admit she felt very good in his arms. “Is that a banana in your pocket, Don, or are you just happy to meet me?” she smiled up at him. “Definitely the latter,” he laughed, suddenly reminded of how odd the mores were here. He felt his cock rising against the unusual restraint of his slacks. Don decided to actually focus on the supposed business at hand, and said, “Charlotte said you had a lead on where or how to get those rings.” “I do,” she said. “We have to find a place, and it's not close.” “No?” Don asked, but before Stephanie could respond, Nicole and Amy appeared. “Oh, there you are, Professor!” Nicole exclaimed. “Is this her?” “Yes,” Don nodded, still holding onto Stephanie, but she pulled away to look at his two companions. Don made introductions, “Stephanie, this is Nicole, and this is Amy, and ladies, this is Stephanie.” “Oh, they're hot, Don!” Stephanie said with a hand grasping his upper arm in a way he didn't mind in the least. “Where did you find them?” “In the Manor.” “I haven't been there in ages,” she mused. “Maybe I'll go back for a visit if this doesn't pan out.” “Speaking of ‘this'…” Don prompted. “Oh, yeah, well, let's find a seat and have a chat, shall we?” She took Don's hand and led him and his lovely companions off to the nearest booth. Stephanie sat between Don and Nicole. Amy seemed to think this was going to be a sex break, so she sat next to Don and promptly started to unbutton and unzip his pants. It didn't even occur to him to stop her. “Oh, so she's not after a ring, eh?” Stephanie grinned. “What about you, cutie?” “Yeah, I'd like to be able to come back here, if I ever wind up leaving,” Nicole smiled. “I love it here.” “There's a lot to like, isn't there? Well, that's a nice banana, Don! Did someone call you professor?” “Yeah, I did that,” Nicole admitted. She was casually caressing Stephanie's thigh, having been smart enough to sit on the shorter-skirted side of the young, well, not so young, woman. “He's a history professor back in the real world.” “Well, the other real world, at any rate,” Stephanie smiled, as she returned the favor by running her hand up along Nicole's dark thigh. She was also idly moving her fingers over Don's hand and forearm. “This is just as real as where we're from.” Don was more than a little distracted by Amy's expert cock sucking, which had him at peak hardness already, but he managed to ask, “Do you have any idea how we go about getting a ring?” “Well, I actually managed to talk to a guy who had one. Now, that's distracting!” “Sorry,” Nicole grinned. She had slipped a hand up under Stephanie's dress. In turn, Stephanie had parted her legs a bit further for her. “No, don't stop,” Stephanie smiled. “Let's see how well I can resist, or how well you can distract me. Six of one, half dozen of the other. Where was I?” “Ah, you talked to a guy,” Don managed. He found himself holding the back of Amy's head as she deepthroated him intently. “Yes, and he said he wasn't supposed to talk about it, but I can be very persuasive,” Stephanie winked. “He said where I would have to go and said that I would have to 'undergo trials.'” “What kind of trials?” Nicole wanted to know. She had an impish grin on her face and had shifted around in the booth so that she was facing Stephanie more directly and could use her hand more effectively. “Oh, that's nice,” purred Stephanie. “Uh, he couldn't say. Apparently, he thought they were different for each person.” “Where do we have to go, though?” Don managed when Amy released his cock to strip off her little dress and toss it to the side. “Oh, those are very nice!” Stephanie said as Amy's tits hove into view. “Thanks!” Amy grinned. “Hey, why are you all still dressed?” “That's a very good question,” Stephanie nodded. Just then, Liu and Jimmy came up. Liu exclaimed, “Oh, there you are! Is this her?” “Yes, I'm her,” Stephanie said as she stood up to wriggle out of her dress. Don gaped at her athletic back, lingering on her tight ass, but then managed to croak out, “Stephanie, this is Liu and Jimmy, friends we made here at the Resort.” “In the Temple, at the orgy,” Liu explained while she also quickly slipped out of her clothes. Jimmy caught on quickly and was already half naked. Nicole, who hadn't missed the chance to get naked, was already pulling Stephanie back onto the seat next to her. Stephanie leaned back against Don and spread her legs for Nicole, who nestled between them, her hand going right back to Stephanie's moist sex. The two girls made out for a moment like that, and Don slipped his hand around Stephanie to cup one of her full breasts, teasing her nipple a bit. All the while, Amy kept sucking at Don's cock. Soon, Liu was laying back at the end of the booth as Jimmy expertly went down on her. Similarly, Nicole had kissed her way down Stephanie's body and was intently licking and sucking at her clit while her fingers pumped in and out of her very wet sex. Don was squeezing Stephanie's tit tightly, and her hands were, respectively, holding Nicole's head in place and clasping Don's hand. Don felt his pulse thundering in his temples as Amy inevitably brought him over the precipice into a shuddering volcanic orgasm that she directed to splash all over her pretty face. She laughed and then moved forward to rub her tits all over his twitching cock, getting cum all over herself. Don smiled down at Amy who grinned back at him, but then looked around to see if there were any other hard-ons in need of her attention. Don would have taken the opportunity to get undressed, but his arm was pinned to the back of the booth by Stephanie who was at that moment arching her back, pushing herself against Nicole's tongue. Don held onto Stephanie, now squeezing both of her tits in his hands, as she shook and cried out in orgasmic delight. While Nicole and Don caressed Stephanie, letting her bask in her afterglow a bit, a couple of men left the dancefloor in favor of the little orgy that was going on in this booth. One of the newcomers was happy to obey Amy's summons, standing in front of her and undoing his slacks, while the other moved over to caress Nicole's ass and legs as she lay on her belly between Stephanie's legs. It wasn't long before the first was getting an enthusiastic blowjob and the second was fucking Nicole from behind. “You travel in good company, Professor Don,” Stephanie smiled up at him. “Yes, I do!” Don laughed. “Want to join up?” “At least for a while,” she nodded as she sat up and turned to face him. “Why are you still wearing clothes?” Stephanie helped Don rid himself of what he was wearing as quickly as possible, before pushing him back on the bench and straddling his lap, holding his still hard cock up and then sinking down on it. Groaning with the exquisite pleasure of feeling his cock being enveloped by Stephanie's hot, wet pussy, Don ran his hands over her taut body, his eyes taking in every inch of her as she began to ride up and down on him. She held onto to the back of the booth as she ground herself against him and leaned in so that he could get his mouth on her tits. It was quite some time later when they had all managed to make their way up to one of the smaller, more private rooms upstairs, with the vague notion of finding a place to collapse after their orgy, that Don remembered that they had been in the middle of conversation when all the sex broke out. He kissed Stephanie, who was reclining in his arms again, but this time it was Jimmy going down on her. Don said, “So, you were saying, this guy told you where you needed to go…” “Oh, yeah,” she smiled and then said something. “Ah, what was that again?” Don asked, quite sure that she couldn't have said what he thought she had said. “We have to go to the Hall of the Court of the Crimson Mountain King,” she murmured with a combination of husky rising passion and exhaustion. Don could not resist laughing, so he did, long and hard. Chapter 3. The Valley “I don't get it,” Toshia frowned. “Well, you know Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King,' right?” “Of course.” “Well, there's this classic progressive rock album, by King Crimson, called In the Court of the Crimson King. Somebody apparently thought it was clever to put the two things together. At the time I thought it was hysterical.” She cocked her eyebrow at him and smirked, “I guess you had to be there.” “It gets better,” Don couldn't resist chuckling a bit. “You know 'Kublai Khan,' by

For millennial music journos like us, Simon Reynolds is one of the Goats. He's a writer best known for his era-defining book on dance music, Energy Flash and the ultimate history of post-punk, Rip It Up And Start Again. But there's barely a genre that Simon hasn't touched, from hip-hop, shoegaze and glam rock to pivotal essays on Auto-Tune, “conceptronica” and the hardcore continuum.Reynolds' newest book is a collection of essays, interviews and reviews on the idea of “futuromania” –his word for electronic music's obsession with the manifesting the future. Futuromania kicks off in 1977 with Donna Summer's ‘I Feel Love' and sweeps up half a century of electronic genius, with writing on household names (Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Future), underground icons (Acen, The Mover, Omni Trio) and nebulous trends like the ambient revival.Unsurprisingly, we couldn't squeeze all of that in a single episode. But we did talk to Simon about the lure of accelerationism, dance music's middle-aged desires, Daft Punk's yearning for the “mass synchrony” of the ‘70s, the uncanniness of Boards of Canada, and how he learned to stop worrying about retromania and start loving Dry Cleaning. Plus: he gave us the scoop on his next book! We think it's an exclusive!!Thanks for listening to No Tags.

"Bad Girls" war 1979 das siebte Studioalbum von Donna Summer und wurde das erfolgreichste Album der amerikanischen Sängerin. "Bad Girls" war das erste Album von Donna Summer, das es in Amerika bis auf Platz 1 der Billboard Charts schaffte und sich fast ein Jahr in den Albumcharts halten konnte. Auch bei uns in Deutschland war "Bad Girls" ein voller Erfolg: Bis auf Platz 7 schaffte es ihr Album bei uns und konnte sich dort knapp ein halbes Jahr halten. Und obendrauf gab es für den Song "Hot Stuff" auch noch einen Grammy. Donna Summer war mit ihren Songs übrigens die erste weibliche Künstlerin, die es geschafft hat, zwei Singles gleichzeitig in den Top 10 der Billboard Hot 100 zu platzieren. Im Juli 1979 fiel ihr Song "Hot Stuff" von Platz eins auf Nummer zwei, dafür stieg die Nachfolgesingle "Bad Girls" auf Platz drei hoch. Der Song "Hot Stuff" vom Album war nicht nur die erste Single des Albums, die ausgekoppelt wurde, sondern ist auch der erfolgreichste Song vom Album geworden. Aber die Platte hat deutlich mehr zu bieten als nur diesen einen "Überhit". Das ganze Album "Bad Girls" wurde von vielen Musikkritikern weltweit hoch gelobt. Da reihen sich auch die SWR1 Musikredakteure gerne ein und outen sich als echte Donna-Fans: "Es ist eine Platte für die Ewigkeit. Es ist das beste Diskoalbum seiner Zeit", sagt zum Beispiel SWR1 Musikredakteur Dave Jörg. Das Besondere an Donna Summer war nicht nur, dass sie eine tolle Stimme hatte, sondern dass sie als Schauspielerin auch die Fähigkeit hatte, für ihre Songs in unterschiedliche und für den Song passende Rollen zu schlüpfen, erklärt SWR1 Musikredakteurin Nina Waßmundt im Podcast. Donna Summer war nicht nur eine unglaublich gute Sängerin mit einer gewaltigen Stimmkraft, sondern auch eine extrem gute Songwriterin und Texterin, die den Produzenten im Studio "ebenbürtig" war, wie Dave Jörg im Podcast betont. Was für eine tolle Texterin sie war, das beweist sie auch im Song "Bad Girls", der zwar gut gelaunt klingt mit einem tollen Diskobeat, aber im Text wird sie da durchaus sehr kritisch. Nach einem Vorfall, bei dem eine Kollegin von der Polizei schikaniert und fälschlicherweise für eine Prostituierte gehalten wurde, macht Donna Summer ihrer Wut über das rassistische Vorgehen der Polizei in diesem Song Luft. "Sie hat sich sehr über die Doppelmoral der Leute aufgeregt in dem Song. [...] Auf der einen Seite zerreißen sie sich so das Maul über die "bösen Mädchen" und bemitleiden sie auch ein bisschen, so von oben herab und auf der anderen Seite wollen sie auch was von ihnen und das hält sie ihnen [...] auch vor", erzählt SWR1 Musikredakteurin Nina Waßmundt. Neben der Musik hat Donna Summer, wie zum Beispiel auch Madonna, stark für ihre Selbstbestimmung im männerdominierten Musikbusiness gekämpft und damit auch den Weg geebnet für später Künstlerinnen und ist ein echtes Vorbild geworden. Neben Donna Summer waren auch die beiden Pioniere der elektronischen Musik an dem Album beteiligt: Giorgio Moroder und Harold Faltermeyer. Ein Hauptgewinn für ein Album, das natürlich sehr stark durch elektronische Elemente wie Synthesizerrhythmen und -melodien lebt. Der musikalische Weg von Donna Summer beginnt, ähnlich wie auch der von Whitney Houston, im Kindesalter im Kirchenchor. Und schon dort hatte Donna Summer einen "Erweckungsmoment", wie SWR1-Musikredakteurin Nina Waßmundt es im Podcast beschreibt, denn die junge Donna konnte selbst kaum glauben, was für eine gewaltige Stimme da aus ihrem Körper rauskam. Dieser Moment war für Donna Summer höchst emotional. Neben der Gospelmusik aus der Kirche hat Donna Summer aber auch schon früh angefangen, zum Beispiel Musik von Rocksängerin Janis Joplin zu hören und das hört man auch auf ihrem Album "Bad Girls". Einer ihrer ersten professionellen Schritte in der Musik hat in Deutschland stattgefunden, genauer gesagt in München. Dort hat sie als 19-jährige Sängerin im Musical "Hair" gesungen, passenderweise natürlich die Rolle der Donna. Von einem wirklich internationalen Erfolg konnte man bei der deutschen Version von Hair natürlich noch nicht sprechen. Internationale Beachtung gab es dann für Donna Summer erstmal 1975 mit dem verruchten Song "Love to Love You, Baby". __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Bad Girls" wird im Podcast gesprochen (14:18) – "Hot Stuff" (29:12) – "Bad Girls" (38:25) – "Dim All the Lights" (1:00:13) – "All Through the Light" (1:04:43) – "Our Love" __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen (07:16) – "Haare" gesungen von Donna Summer (09:28) – "Love to Love You, Baby" von Donna Summer (10:38) – "I Feel Love" von Donna Summer (36:55) – "Bang Bang" Joe Cuba (43:00) – "Enough is Enough" von Donna Summer und Barbra Streisand (1:07:44) – "Blue Monday” von New Order __________ Shownotes Album Review zu "Bad Girls" aus dem Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/donnasummer/albums/album/233978/review/5946581/bad_girls Bildergalerie über Donna Summers Leben: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/donna-summer-death-career-pictures-326135/6-religion/ Donna Summer auf YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RealDonnaSummer/featured TAZ-Interview mit Georgio Moroder zu seiner Karriere: https://taz.de/Giorgio-Moroder-ueber-seine-Karriere/!5025680/ Harold Faltermeyer bei SWR1 Leute: https://www.swr.de/swr1/swr1leute/top-gun-axel-f-musiker-harold-faltermeyer-100.html ARD Podcast-Tipp: "Zeitzeichen": https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/wdr-zeitzeichen/33514748/ Die SWR1 Meilensteine über die im Podcast gesprochen wird: https://www.swr.de/swr1/rp/meilensteine-podcast-100.html __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Para esta reu trilateral en Washington, se juntaron Alicia Bárcena, secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores de México; Antony Blinken, secretario de Estado estadounidense, y Carlos Martínez, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Guatemala. El encuentro tuvo un objetivo principal: profundizar la cooperación entre los tres países para hacer frente al aumento de flujos migratorios irregulares en la región. Al ser el anfitrión de esta reunión, Blinken fue el primero en abrir la discusión. Alicia Bárcena fue la siguiente en tomar la palabra. Inició su discurso expresando la visión de México sobre la migración, resaltando que es clave ir a las causas profundas de raíz. Además, enfatizó el fortalecer las vías regulares de movilidad laboral para que estas personas que están buscando oportunidades, realmente las encuentren. Desde Guatemala, Carlos Martínez coincidió en que la migración debe ser vista desde sus raíces, tratándola más como un fenómeno que como un problema. Este diálogo surge, sobre todo, en un momento en el que la migración ocupa un lugar importante en la política interna de Estados Unidos. En medio de la guerra entre Israel y Hamás, Carl Skau, director ejecutivo adjunto del Programa Mundial de Alimentos, advirtió ante el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU que Gaza está viviendo el peor nivel de desnutrición infantil del mundo. Con prácticamente los 2.2 millones de habitantes en la Franja necesitando asistencia alimentaria, la situación es crítica. Especialmente para los niños menores de dos años, donde uno de cada seis sufre de desnutrición aguda. Medio millón de personas están batallando contra el hambre extrema y, según alertó el PMA, podría haber una “perspectiva real de hambruna para mayo”, si no se toman medidas urgentes. Desde el 23 de enero, ninguna organización humanitaria ha podido entregar ayuda al territorio. Según la Oficina para la Coordinación de Asuntos Humanitarios, esto se debe a que los convoyes hacia el norte de Gaza han sido bloqueados “sistemáticamente” por las autoridades israelíes. Sin embargo, casi 1,000 camiones con 15,000 toneladas métricas de comida esperan en la frontera de Egipto, listos para entrar a la Franja.Además…AMLO amenazó con no asistir a la Cumbre de Líderes de América del Norte si Joe Biden y Justin Trudeau no denuncian la “guerra sucia” en su contra; el velorio del fallecido líder opositor ruso, Alexei Navalny, será el próximo viernes en el cementerio de Borisovskoye, en Moscú; el gobierno británico confirmó que retirará la protección financiada por los contribuyentes de la que disponía el príncipe Harry tras abandonar sus funciones reales; y los herederos de la fallecida reina del disco, Donna Summer, presentaron una demanda contra Kanye West y Ty Dolla $ign por usar sin permiso la icónica canción “I Feel Love” en su nuevo álbum “Vultures”.Y para #ElVasoMedioLleno…Paul Edmonds se convirtió en la quinta persona registrada en frenar tanto el avance del cáncer en la sangre como el VIH en su cuerpo, gracias a un innovador tratamiento.Para enterarte de más noticias como estas, síguenos en nuestras redes sociales.

It is Hump Day on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast. In this episode, the RSMS crew discusses Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign being sued for copyright infringement by Donna Summer's estate for sampling her song I Feel Love. The song is featured on the pair of hip-hop stars album Vultures 1 track Good Die Young. Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign asked the estate to use the song for the sample but were denied due to West's comments in the media. During Madonna's Celebration tour, she is paying tribute to celebrities who died from AIDS in a video montage. One of the videos included the late R&B singer Luther Vandross. The issue is that Lither Vandross died from complications due to a stroke he suffered two years prior to his death. Luther Vandross estate demanded that Madonna take his image down immediately because that was not the cause of death and he had never been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. Ja Rule has been denied entry into the United Kingdom. This is based on his criminal past and his time in prison due to gun charges and tax evasion. The bad news is that Ja Rule has a tour scheduled overseas, which is 85% sold out, that now he cannot attend. And of course, 50 Cent had to join in this conversation.

Label: Casablanca 884Year: 1977Condition: MPrice: $20.00Listening to this, it's easy to see how Summer became the queen of disco in the late 1970s, helped enormously by great material and by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte's distinctive techno arrangements. By the way, this is the relatively rare first pressing of Casablanca 884, which labels "I Feel Love" as the B side. And it's true! Originally, the record company plugged "Can't We Just..." as the A side, and it did chart for a few weeks on the Black/RnB Singles chart. Soon, however, station programmers began plugging "I Feel Love," and it became one of Summer's earliest Top 10 hits. Casablanca shortly re-pressed the single showing "Side A" for "I Feel Love." The A side ("Can't We...") is edited from a 4:25 album track. Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl (styrene), Audio).
Le génie de Marley Marl , dans sa maîtrise des mixes et de la production, en feront le premier producteur star dans le rap , qui va poser les bases du style boom bap. Étant donné son impressionnant CV, il était évident qu'un hommage lui soit rendu sur SL1200.Originaire du Queens et de son vrai nom Marlon Williams, Marley Marl débute sa carrière en tant que DJ, influencé par son grand frère qui était également DJ. Sa rencontre avec le rap a lieu au début des années 80, au lycée, lorsqu'il rencontre DJ Breakout des Funky Four Plus One, qui jouait de la musique à fond sur son Ghetto Blaster pendant la pause déjeuner. C'est à cette époque que Marley Marl crée son premier groupe, appelé le Shure Shot Crew. L'homme commence à se faire un nom dans le Queens en tant qu'ingénieur du son passionné par les réglages et les avancées technologiques de l'époque. Le disque qui a changé sa vie est le morceau "I Feel Love" de Donna Summer, sorti en 1977, sa production et ses sonorités ont éveillé la curiosité de Marley Marl, qui a cherché à comprendre comment un tel morceau était produit. Au milieu des années 80, Marley Marl commence à produire pour des artistes de son quartier, tels que Roxanne Shanté et MC Shan. C'est avec eux qu'il va fonder le premier véritable collectif de rap, le Juice Crew, auquel participaient Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace et Graig G.Hébergé par Ausha.

Exposure - The Album* Before we even get started, massive respect is due to Eric Tamm, whose exhaustive work “Robert Fripp - From King Crimson to Guitar Craft” is available online HERE and was a big help in preparing this episode.As we explain in more detail, there are several versions of this album, but this is basically what the listener was presented with in 1979About the lyricist on Exposure, Discogs has this to say:* Joanna WaltonReal Name: Joan Sheree LichtensteinAmerican poet, born 26 December 1942 in New York, New York, New York. Lyricist and one-time girlfriend of Robert Fripp. In 1982, she married George L. Sheanshang. She was killed on 21 December 1988 in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, U.K.In the liner notes of the Roches 1989 album, Speak, Terre Roche wrote “to the memory” of Walton, with whom she had worked on Robert Fripp's 1979 album, Exposure. HERE is another Fripp/Walton collaboration* * It's worth heading over to YouTube for this half-hour video of Fripp being interviewed on something called “Boffomondo” in the middle of his tour promoting ExposureWhat Came Before…The later CD edit has the applause at the end of 21st Century Schizoid Man fading out gently; for the full force of the door being slammed in the audiences face, you have to go back to the vinyl version……but Fripp had already been collaborating with Brian Eno. This is one of Tom's Favourites - …I think we all know about the David Bowie stuff, but did you know about this?…and everybody knows the second Peter Gabriel album, but had you heard this?…or even this? …which brings us to this. Fripp joins Blondie in a live performance of Donna Summer's I Feel Love, which the best disco song ever. This was to be on Exposure but … record labels.…And what came after…The Promotional Tour…which is the bit that really interests us. Armed with a farcically small amount of money from the record company, the “Small Intelligent Mobile Unit” set off with a guitar and two tape recorders to promote his new album by playing music that wasn't on the album in a selection of unusual venues…We both really love Hainbach, so here he is demonstrating how to do Frippertonics in the comfort of your own home.…and here's a breathless reaction videoIt's about time that the League of Gentlemen album was re-issuedSubscribe to Gas GiantsRSS https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/311033.rss This is a public episode.

We had to go out in style for the last show of 2023!
First, shout-out to my previous guest, Aneta Kuzma, for connecting me with Alexandra Clayton and Michal Sinnott, who you're about to hear from today.Personal wellness means different things to different people.When you get to know someone, you find out there's a lot of unpacking to do.Alexandra and Michal met in a female filmmaking collaborative alliance, and little did they know the exciting journey it would lead them on.Growing up, they were both raised to appreciate the value of education in different ways. Alexandra's parents limited her exposure to media, and they carefully curated the media she did see to focus on female leaders and women in positions of power. Michal comes from a long line of travelers and sailors, which taught her the value of education through experience.In other ways, they were different. Alexandra was emotional, and never thought of anyone as a stranger. She grew up in a household where love was expressed freely and openly, and she said hello to everybody at the grocery store. Michal, on the other hand, was introverted and learned through acting that she could express herself by pretending to feel things she wasn't feeling; this was very liberating for her.As multi-hyphenates – directors, producers, and actors who have also held a variety of side gigs to support themselves – they've most recently come together to write a screenplay and film a movie.It was through this experience they discovered how fine is a 4-letter word.Their movie, called “Unpacking”, is about a wellness retreat. Through their experiences, Alexandra and Michal both appreciate the importance of community and structure. At the same time, they feel there's currently a real lack of places for people to go and find support to draw themselves out from wherever they're stuck and get moving forward right now. The mega-wellness industry fills the gap for a more privileged set of people, but what it has to offer is simply out of reach to many others.In a moment, when you meet Alexandra and Michal, you'll discover how they're out to change all that. Hear how their experience in the “indie” movie industry, where you can create your own stories and roles without pleading for the approval of gatekeepers, has inspired them to break out of the typecast and inspire others to do the same.Alexandra's hype song is “I Feel Love” by Donna Summer. Michal's hype song is "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine.

Journalist and author Rachel Nuwer joins Whiz on this episode where they take a deep dive into the healing power of MDMA. MAPS just released their most recent Phase III results, and they are even better than the last round. 71% of subjects were clinically ‘healed' from treatment resistant PTSD and trauma. Rachel breaks down the history of MDMA, including seriously flawed studies that resulted in ‘big lies' about MDMA. She talks about how MDMA helps with not only PTSD but those with autism or social anxiety issues. Finally, she gives her prediction about when MDMA will be legal (once again) for therapeutic use. Whiz calls I Feel Love “tied for first” with How to Change Your Mind and the Immortality Key. Grab a copy today – it's a MUST READ: https://a.co/d/gxnYUoV
Helen and Gavin chat about Blue Beetle, We Have a Ghost, and Between Two Worlds, and it's Week 90 from the list of Rolling Stone's 500 Best Songs Ever, numbers 55 to 51; Like a Prayer by Madonna, The Tracks of My Tears by Smoky Robinson and The Miracles, Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, I Feel Love by Donna Summer, and Walk on By by Dionne Warwick.
On this episode, Keith and Geoff are joined by two-thirds of the electronic pop band Venus Hum, lead singer and lyricist Annette Strean and multi-instrumentalist Tony Miracle. Third member Kip Kubin wasn't able to join. Venus Hum released their self-titled debut album in 2001, and its follow-up, 2003's Big Beautiful Sky, is firmly embedded on Geoff's desert island album list. The band's wide creative and musical landscape has led to collaborations with the famed Blue Man Group and Hollywood A-lister J. J. Abrams, among others. After the release of the EP Songs for Superheroes, Annette had developed painful vocal fold nodules and needed a speech pathologist to relearn her singing ability. The band didn't break-up but diversified. After a two-year hiatus, Venus Hum regrouped and released a new album, The Colors in the Wheel in 2006, which they described as "unconventional, three-dimensional and completely five-sensual" featuring an edgier sound than their previous work. This was followed in 2009 with the release of Mechanics & Mathematics. A remix album came in 2016, and in the second half of 2020 the band released a series of singles they later released on the album Kindness Rages On in 2021. And to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of their collaboration with Blue Man Group on a cover of the iconic Donna Summer disco hit, “I Feel Love,” they've recorded a brand-new version. Annette and Tony chat it up with Geoff and Keith. Stories were told and laughs were had. LINKS Venus Hum Website Venus Hum Bandcamp Venus Hum IG Venus Hum YouTube Venus Hum Wiki Blue Man Group J.J.

Robert Moog et ses machines qui font Vzzziiiooung, raconté par Laurent de Wilde, et Samplerman seront les premiers invités, suivis de la #SessionLive du Crimi (France/Sicile). Dans sa banlieue natale du Queens, Robert Moog imagine l'équivalence entre le langage de la musique et celui de l'électronique. Il fabrique des boîtes métalliques qui produisent des sons jamais entendus auparavant. Sans ces machines à boutons reliés par des câbles, pas de vzzziiiooung ni de mouuuaaaaahh dans les musiques de Herbie Hancock ou des Beatles. Entre les mains des artistes qui s'en sont emparés, ses instruments ont créé le disco, la house, le rap. Bob Moog a pensé le futur de la musique.Les auteursLaurent de Wilde est compositeur, pianiste et écrivain. Il a été l'un des pionniers de la révolution électronique du jazz des années 2000 et continue de se produire activement. En tant qu'auteur, il a notamment publié une biographie de Thelonious Monk (Monk, Gallimard, 1997) et un ouvrage retraçant la trajectoire des inventeurs, au XXème siècle, d'instruments ou de machines à produire du son avec de l'électricité : Les Fous du son (Grasset, 2016). Œuvrant dans l'édition de bande dessinée alternative depuis les années 1990, Yvan Guillo alias Samplerman fabrique des images à partir de la transformation et de la duplication de comics mainstream des années 1950, y puisant des échantillons — des samples — qu'il réemploie dans ses propres créations. Extrait« Car ces nouveaux instruments que sont les synthétiseurs tels que les fabrique Bob Moog sont le plus souvent associés à de la musique psychédélique, voire bruitiste, et les hippies qui la jouent sont bien loin des amateurs de Mozart ou Schubert que le label compte comme clients. Vendre un disque de musique classique synthétique à Columbia revient à proposer un deltaplane à Rolls-Royce, ce n'est tout simplement pas le même monde. Les titres des premiers disques de musique électronique faite grâce au Moog parlent d'eux-mêmes : The Zodiac : Cosmic Sounds, Strange Days ou Kaleidoscopic Vibrations… tout un programme ! On comprend pourquoi les huiles de Columbia ont fait la fine bouche. Mais bon, disent-ils, laissez-nous vos bandes, on va voir ce qu'on peut faire… La sortie est donc assurée a minima et l'espoir d'un succès, même modeste, n'est pas envisagé. Sauf que c'est un carton. Avec Switched-On Bach sorti en 1968, Wendy rafle quatre Grammy Awards et cinq ans plus tard, le disque est vendu à plus d'un million d'exemplaires. » Moog Plalylist- Hot Butter, « Popcorn », Popcorn, Interfusion/Musicor, 1972.- Mahavishnu Orchestra, « Birds of Fire », Birds of Fire, Columbia Records, 1973 - Donna Summer, « I Feel Love », I Remember Yesterday, Casablanca Records, 1977.- Kraftwerk, « Autobahn », Autobahn, Vertigo Records, 1974- Hal Blaine, « Love-In (December) », Psychedelic Percussion, Dunhill, 1967. Puis nous recevons le groupe Crimi dans la #SessionLive pour la sortie du 2ème album Scuru CauruScuru Cauru, des chansons sinueuses et envoûtantes inspirées par les montagnes sauvages de Sicile et les ruelles de Palerme et d'Oran. Après le succès de Luci e Guai sorti en 2021, Crimi poursuit avec Scuru Cauru son exploration des diasporas et cultures méditerranéennes, creusant ainsi d'autres fantasmes plus intimes à travers quatorze titres électrisants et magnétiques. Sur les traces de son héritage sicilien, le chanteur et saxophoniste Julien Lesuisse crée Crimi en 2018, et alors tente de se réapproprier une culture et une langue que sa famille immigrée avait dû travestir. Depuis plus de vingt ans, Julien Lesuisse est actif sur la scène musicale française au sein du dancefloor band Mazalda et aux côtés des chanteurs de la nouvelle vague du Raï algérien Cheb Lakhdar et Sofiane Saidi. Avec ce background miraculeux, il s'allie à l'éthio-jazz, funk et soul du guitariste Cyril Moulas, du bassiste Brice Berrerd et du batteur Bruno Duval pour former le groove diasporique de Crimi. Le groupe trace une ligne visionnaire qui connecte des traditions d'époques et de lieux différents et les reconstruit pour le monde interculturel d'aujourd'hui. Par ce syncrétisme du groove, Crimi réinvente une Méditerranée comme lieu d'échanges et de rencontres à l'opposé du théâtre des conflits et des divisions qu'elle est devenue.Titres interprétés au grand studio- Giannina Live RFI- A Sira Live RFI- Notti Ruffiana Live RFI.

11 years ago, sadly we lost LaDonna Adrian Gaines aka Donna Summer, the undisputed Queen of Disco! You may or may not remember I was going to release this Tribute Mix for Pride Month last June, but due to personal reasons, here we are again… And to coincide with the release of her documentary “Love to Love You, Donna Summer” today Saturday the 20th May 2023, it just seems like perrrfect timing. So…Sunset People, Dim All The Lights, because This Time I Know It's For Real: 20+ chronologically mixed Disco Traxx to get your Summer boogie on !!! DONNA: QUEEN OF DISCOMAY 20 / 20 TRAXX LOVE MAGNUSDisco-tracklisting:1. Love To Love You Baby 2. I Feel Love 3. Last Dance 4. MacArthur Park 5. Hot Stuff6. No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) 7.

This episode is dedicated to the impact of Donna Summer, the woman known as the queen of disco who inspired millions around the world to dance, really dance, and forget their troubles. But it wasn't just about the sounds – it was about her hair, her features, her makeup, the glitter and the sequins. The reason I've decided now is the time to focus on the wonders of Donna Summer is because HBO is releasing a documentary today, called Love to Love You, Donna Summer and it promises to share Donna's struggles with fame, how she navigated being a mother and also endeavoured to keep her private life private, all while experiencing such career highs as being the first black woman to have a music video play on MTV. I'm dying to watch the documentary so I thought I'd try and take us back a little bit to break down just how Donna inspired the world. Let me know if you enjoyed this episode and if you're listening on Spotify and you're a Donna Summer fan, be sure to take part in my poll and let me know your favourite Donna song.

Donna Summer is famous for her disco and pop career, but before she hit the big time she was already an accomplished singer who sang in musicals, folk opera and in the studio as a session musician. The Boston-born singer started out in a rock band before moving to central Europe to make a living. She was singing in the musical ‘Hair' in Munich when she came to the attention of Moroder's writing partner Pete Belotte. Like most of Summer's early disco hits, I Feel Love was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte.

She was the queen of disco; they were an unstoppable pop music force. Together, Donna Summer and Stock Aitken Waterman made some of their best music together. In this look at the first single from the Another Place And Time album, we chart Donna's landmark run of hits in the 1970s and difficult transition into the 1980s thanks to a deal with Geffen Records that saw her taken away from the songwriting and production team of Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, with whom she'd collaborated on classics like "Love To Love You Baby", "I Feel Love" and "Hot Stuff". Following a commercially underappreciated couple of albums, Donna's union with SAW resulted in her greatest success in years and another trans-Atlantic smash for the Hit Factory with the joyous lead single "This Time I Know It's For Real". We hear from Matt Aitken, Dee Lewis and Pete Hammond about working with Donna on the album, which is regarded by fans as a high point in SAW's career, and David Howells talks about the distinctive front cover image that caused waves in the US.

Donna Summer's 1977 hit “I Feel Love” is the inspiration for the final track on Beyoncé's new album, “Renaissance.” Summer became the queen of disco in the '70s, but her catalog goes much further than that. You can hear her legacy in decades of electronic and R&B. “She is an architect of the pop culture we experience today,” J says.In this episode, J and Wesley revisit her 1982 album, “Donna Summer” — and explore why, out of all of her music, this self-titled album is the most distinctly Donna.
This person died in 2012, age 63. She grew up singing in church and decided in her teens to make music her career. In the late 1960s she joined the Munich company of the rock musical “Hair” and relocated to Germany. Her voice sailed over dance floors and leapt from radios from the mid-'70s well into the '80s. Her music was a template for 1970s disco. Her hits include “Hot Stuff,” “Bad Girls”, and “She Works Hard for the Money”. Today's dead celebrity is Donna Summer.

Author of Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop and host of The Ringer podcast Black Girl Songbook, Danyel Smith, joins DJ Louie to explore the work, impact and legacy of the Queen of Disco, Donna Summer. Louie and Danyel begin with Donna's early life as the eccentric Black girl in her Boston community during the 1950s and ‘60s, her move to Germany in 1968 to star in the musical Hair which eventually led to a star-crossed meeting with producers Giorgio Morodor and Pete Bellotte who would go on to be her primary collaborators, and their breakthrough with the radically orgasmic disco anthem “Love to Love You Baby” in 1975. Louie and Danyel then cover Donna, Giorgio and Pete's ambitious run of concept albums through the mid ‘70s, their seismic innovations on 1977's “I Feel Love”, considered the first electronic dance song, Donna's status as the poster child for both the music and aesthetics of the disco movement thanks in part to her role in the film Thank God It's Friday and its luscious Oscar-winning smash “Last Dance”, her magnum opus, 1979's Bad Girls which set the template for the modern pop event album, and how she managed to outrun the sudden decline of disco thanks to 1983's economical new-wave anthem “She Works Hard for the Money”. They conclude with Donna's commercial decline in the latter 1980s, her Born-Again Christianity and controversial statements about the AIDS Epidemic and the gay community, her absolutely massive impact on the sound and look of pop stardom and how her legacy- and that of the movement she defined- has evolved over time. Finally, Louie and Danyel rank Donna Summer in the official Pop Pantheon.
