Song of the Day: 'I Want Your Love' by Chic


Anyone who knows anything about music knows Chic -- aka Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards -- were two of the industry's most talented and influential artists of all time. Still, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has never quite been able to make up its mind if it wants to hold true to the "rock and roll" part of its moniker, or if it's an all-enclusive MUSIC hall of fame. Donna Summer got in posthumously last year, which makes me think Chic will finally get over the hurdle this time around. (Yesterday was their eighth nomination, and boy do they deserve to be in.) Sadly, Edwards died in 1996 -- but will hopefully celebrate his big moment with Donna in that big disco in the sky.

Song of the Day: 'I Want Your Love' by Chic


   Watched "Shame" over the weekend, my first time seeing it since in the theater in 2011. It's as a good as a I remembered, but I'd forgotten how equally good the soundtrack is. With Blondie, Tom Tom Club and Chic, it's pretty much like hanging out at my house, minus a clingy. maybe-incestuous sister crashing on the couch.
