I spent most of the weekend watching NBA basketball and looking up old school dance music, when I came upon DigitalDreamDoor.com and their music lists.  This was a lot more helpful than most other sites, I’ve looked at cause most music sites don’t even mention dance music, let alone 80’s dance music.  I had forgotten about such cool songs as White Lines (Don’t Do It), which incidently, I ended up buying at the local mall music store, cause neither iTunes nor BestBuy had it!  DigitalDreamDoor’s 100 Greatest Dance/Jam Songs of the 80’s page was great for making me remember some of my early teen years.  Before I got all depressed in my teen years and became a headbanger for Metallica and Iron Maiden music, I was very into the weekend radio dance music shows and Chicago House music, from the likes of Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, and Marshall Jefferson.  I’ve been hoping that Hurley would release a remastered CD version of his vinyl stuff, specifically his I Can’t Turn Around record from RCA.  I think the original song was recorded by Barry White, but Hurley’s version is the dance bomb.

Even if you have no idea what House music is, or if you don’t like dance music, you should still check out DigitalDreamDoor’s lists, cause they cover other genres of music too, so there should be something interesting for you too.  It comes in handy for when you don’t know what to get for your Free Pepsi iTunes.

Speaking of Free iTunes, I’m still waiting on my self-addressed game pieces to come.  It’s been a week now.  In the mean time I’ve gotten about 10 Free iTunes from Pepsi caps.  Here are some of the songs I’ve gotten for free:

• Do You Really Want to Hurt Me – Boy George And Culture Club
• Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood -  Eric Burdon
• Bad to the Bone – George Thorogood & The Destroyers
• Jeopardy – Greg Kihn
• Volver Junto a Ti – Laura Pausini
• I Don’t Wanna Know – Mario Winans, Enya & P. Diddy
• Bandidos – Patricia Manterola
• Angie – The Rolling Stones
• Miss You – The Rolling Stones
• Let the Music Play – Shannon
• The Glamorous Life (Club Edit) – Sheila E.
• A Fistful of Dollars -    Starsound Orchestra
• Pump Up the Jam – Technotronic

Right now, my personal favorite is I Don’t Wanna Know, by Mario Winans.  It’s a cool slow jam.
