Disco brought us many great songs and this is one of them. Patrice Rushen might be a one hit wonder, but she hit it hard. This is a beautiful booty-groove with some cute vocals. It was later popularized and sampled by Will Smith’s now-horrid “Men In Black.”

Loft965.com has its best day ever!

by Blog Related • Tags: , , , , , , ,

This Monday was the  best day Loft965.com has seen, and keep in mind, we’ve seen some good days! On that day we managed to to get hits from Google, Facebook and Bing in the upper 5-digits on one post only, not including the thousands we get daily on the Loft. Put it all together and we managed to notch up the best day in the history of the blog. Also, we managed to get the 4th most read post that day on WordPress, beating posts by giants like CNN and Entertainment Weekly. Not only that, but December 2010 is also shaping up to be the best month for the blog.

We, ofcourse, are very thankful and are looking to expand the blog. We have removed all the ads as of now so we can have a fresh start in 2011. 2010 was a great year filled with accomplishments including reaching the 2 million mark, establishing a great foundation of loyal readers, the expansion of our little workforce and, most importantly, cementing our foot as one of the 100 most read music blogs in the world! Currently we are sitting pretty at #59 in the world, which is such an accomplishment because the other blogs on there are either corporation-funded or have been around for much more than Loft965.com.

We wish you a great 2011 and we can’s wait to see what the new year has to hold for us. We also have a couple of surprises coming your way – stay tuned. So, keep the suggestions, feedback, hits, press releases, invites, music downloads, events and praises coming! We are thankful for all.

So, we have gotten our mittened hands on a bunch of Joni Mitchell albums that we hadn’t heard completely and we spent a whole 24 hours reading up on her, watching her interviews and listening to her sweet sweet voice. You know we like our music with a little social commentary. And, we are glad we back-catalogued Joni Mitchell, she is a fine singer-songwriter and this song from her epic album Blue showcases that.
