Friday’s Child was stoned.
I first listened to this track when I was 11 years old, by this time I had already accomplished 11 of the 11 deadly sins and had written 11 books on archealogy. The inner ear has 11 bones (coincidently that is 11 more than your average male penis) that can listen to up to 11 different Asian Karaoke singers at the same time and can determine where each individual is from (The answer being, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, South Korea, USA, Auckland, Taiwan, Japan, North Korea (via pirated skype), Indonesia & Vancouver)
This was the Doobie Brother’s 11th single and it was released and re-released 11 times (due to the intake of their name 11 different ways). The first version was 11 minutes which they thought was too short. The train they are singing about was the number 11 to Chattanooga, and was 11 Carriages long. It has been remixed 11 times (which coincidently is 11 more remixes than the 11th song on Shania Twain’s 1995 album ‘The Woman On Me’ entitled ‘Everyone Needs to Know’ received). in 11 different Genres.
So it should come at no surprise that I chose this song to be the remix represented on this fateful day, friday.
If you can overlook all the weird coincidences and put the track down to quality alone, you will find thats it’s pretty damn awesome. Where others have tried, these guys have succeeded. The original Zurich based remixers Danny Freakazoid (must be of Southern Zurich origin) & Matt Caseli released a great club track regardless, but i’m sure even they would agree that Graham Sahara & Central Avenue added that extra little kick (maybe even a little extra snare too).
It takes the original Doobie’s genius riff and vocal chorus that develops into a sweet tribal tech drop. I liked this track so much I included it in my newest mix. Im sure you will find a place for it in yours too.
