What better way to get that extra push over to the other half of the week, than with a song. There is no better way! Obviously.That is why I have presents, lovely presents for your speakers and ears. Don’t say I never gave you anything!

I think I scared some of you off with my French dance music last week, no one really commented on the song. Whatever though! You are the ones missing out on a super dancey fun song! If you weren’t reading then or have just had a change of heart, you can still find it here.

I couldn’t really decide on what I wanted to upload for you guys today, so I enlisted a little help from my boyfriend, William. He dj’s pretty regularly here in Chicago, and he knows his shit! Then I picked one, so you have two songs today! Three, if you count last weeks because it is still up!

Today we have M.I.A – Bamboo Banga. If you haven’t heard of M.I.A, where the hell have you been these past two years? Seriously, get on this. Maya does it and does it well. (Wikipedia & Myspace)

Now I am going to hand this over to Will:

When Jamie asked me to pick one song to post on her blog, I knew it was going to be a bit tough. I had no clue where to start. Since she was posting something current, I decided to take it a bit back with this one (not too far though).

I’ve made sure that this track is a staple when I’m playing at the club. It isn’t as instantly recognized like his more popular songs (“Kiss”, “When Doves Cry”, “Erotic City”), but it isn’t any less of a jam (give me this song over those others any day). Maybe this is an obvious one for some of you…if it is, cool! If not, then enjoy! Off “Sign O Times”, released in ’87: Prince – Hot Thing

Will is probably going to start hanging out at least once week and be the resident dj here over at Oh! How Lovely! so expect some more awesome (and most likely exclusive!) music from him soon!

Go listen to those songs. Dance around your office or house. Make Wednesday fun.

Bye!!

Hiya – thanks for sharing the Jamie-ness!

I enjoyed the tunes. They took me right back to the club (it’s been a while).

And the Tim Gunn bobblehead totally cracked me up. I’m a Project Runway fan too, though I think we get it here in Canada later. I’m currently watching the first Canadian version and though Tim isn’t on it, it manages to be quite good.

I love this idea! And when i get home I’m definitely downloading the french song – I’m all about french pop!

Oooh, music is always good on a rainy Thursday morning before work! LOVE Prince!

I myself love French music. =)

Yay! I love just dancing around my apt with the music turned up. I’m pretty sure the apt next door isn’t too pleased during these events- but I love it none the less

Thanks for the comment on my site

I thoroughly enjoyed bopping along to the French song, smiled through the Prince song, but the MIA song? Kind of freaked me out. I’m sitting alone in my house, it’s night, and I found myself wondering, “Is that the song or are there creepy people beating drums outside who want to kill me?” I’ll give it another try in the daylight.

[...] really didn’t think it would sell out either. If you remember, a few weeks ago, I posted up an M.I.A. song or maybe no one was reading then. Since I missed out last night, everyone gets music [...]
