I think Jimmy and I are putting together some kind of end-of-year thing, so before we did that I wanted to drop a few rad songs that probably won't make my 'best-of' or whatever we end up doing.
As we all know, there are a few everyday situations where music is of the utmost necessity: riding in a car with your dudes, seducing a lady, going to second base with a lady, smoking pot, going all the way with a lady, etc. One of these situations, and one that is, I think, too-often overlooked, is getting ready to go out (is that girly? How about: I don't care).
By "getting ready to go out," I mean, of course, all those little things that occupy the hours between 8 or so and 10 or so--taking a shower, heating up your leftover tacos, putting on your clothes, waiting for your buddy to call you, drinking a couple beers, and then maybe a couple more. And because this time is so crucial to having an enjoyable night, it is of the utmost importance that you are jamming to something that will lift your spirits, engage your mind, and get you super-amped. This means that a lot of the gnarly music that I listen to is basically out--no Peter Gabriel (except "Solsbury Hill"), no Blue Nile, absolutely no Vangelis (OK, maybe "Chariots of Fire").
Fortunately, I have the perfect getting-ready-to-go-out song, and because I'm a nice guy, I'm going to share it with you. Use it sparingly and wisely, but I guarantee, jam this before you head out on a Friday night and you are guaranteed to have a good time.
This song also has a dope video fyi.

the lady and i have a lil going out ritual. we put on the strobe light, partake in our particular form of inebriant, listen to Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out" and dance around the living room.
