Boogie in the South: the Compilation

Various Artists
"Boogie in the South"
@ O.P.B. (Other People's Bitrates)

Alright, falling out my slumber & upping this quick limewire compilation of Dallas Boogie. I apologize for not having an nice little essay on the dance or genre or related dances and related genres. I ended up reading some jerk-off academic blogging re: the Death of Michael Jackson and it really just soured that kind of thing for me. I acquired a reasonable amount of similar tracks from BR, Louisiana and I intend to share that soon as the complementary "Jiggin in the South". I realize the extent to which pinning styles to specific mapped spots is completely unfair and increasingly inaccurate but still I appreciate the beautiful order in it. I included some complimentary myspace flyers in the .zip and I realize now I accidentally included the anatopistic Short Bus Boyz. Excuse this. Does Lil Man's "D-Town Boogie" reference NOLA Bounce Butch Big Freedia's "Gin in my System" or is that a more widespread expression?

Tommy Wright killed this blog's ambitions. Email him and tell him to take a trip to the fucking post office. It can't be that far.

My rapidshare account will expire very soon and I'm not renewing it, so now's the week to hit up the archives.

08 Crank Update

A quick survey of recent Youtube rap dance crazes, whose real-world locus seems to have shifted from Atlanta to Dallas. I know this is often the most-hated music, but if like Big Boi says "To make one bob they head be the track job" then getting someone dancing in the driveway, street, garage, bedroom or basement, then documenting and sharing that with the whole world is a track gone above and beyond.
