Retro Tune of the Day: Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)"

Possibly Kate's most widely known single, "Running Up That Hill..." was the first single released from her Hounds of Love album in 1985.  It has been covered several times by the likes of Placebo and the gender-bending postmodern cabaret duo Kiki & Herb.

This was Kate's highest charting in the U.S., reaching #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1985 (this was Kate's very first 12" remix) Here is a new mix I recently discovered, breathing a little new life into an old favorite....hope you enjoy!

 

Keep F***ing That Chicken: The Remix

I really was planning on avoiding this whole incident but then someone went and  remixed it with Tori Amos!  I was rendered powerless and just had to include this little gem for you.

So, here's what happened as the precursor to said remix: WNYW Fox 5 New York anchor Ernie Anastos uttered the mother of all fleeting expletives on the Fox 5 News At 10 on Wednesday, September 16, 2009....And here we go, the club version of "Fucking That Chicken"  I hope somewhere in NY clubland there's a DJ with a wicked sense of humor who will spin this tonight when things get in full meth fueled swing!

Retro tune of the day

An awesome classic from electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk.  Remixed by one of the best, Razormaid.
