Khia feat. Xtaci - My Pussy
One can imagine the conversation between T.I. and his newly formed girl group, Xtaci. “Okay, girls, I thought of a great name for your group: …XTC! Like ‘ecstasy,’ get it?” Then imagine the shock on my favourite rapper of the moment’s face when he gets his lawyers (or, possibly, allmusic.com) to check the name out and finds it was taken by some English weirdoes who were afraid of playing live. “Fuck it, we’ll spell it ‘Xtaci’ then.” Did this happen? Possibly. What really matters is the song: it’s out of control! This is some tear da club up shit, but if a club isn’t available, consider shaking your laptop violently. Yeah!

My Mine – Hypnotic Tango
The other two mp3s today are, frankly, really, really gay. This is Pet Shop Boys-level homosexuality we’re talking here. And that’s nineties Pet Shop Boys I’m talking about, when they stopped even pretending they were straight. Anyways, the first Gay Banger (no homo) is My Mine’s “Hypnotic Tango.” To be honest, I don’t know a damn thing about this group, but based on this song I’m going to theorize that they were German, gay and that this is the only song they ever did. That’s cool, because this song is perfect. It’s so romantic you’ll be imagining yourself on some sort of mythical NYC early-eighties Christopher St. dance floor in no time. Uhh, no homo.

Felix Da Housecat– Ready 2 Wear
Continuing with the “damn, that’s gay” theme, we have a more recent effort. I first discovered this jam on a mix by Low “The other guy in Hollertronix” Budget, but I should’ve discovered it on Felix Da Housecat’s 2004 non-success Devin Dazzle & the Neon Fever. This track is a perfect, contemporary companion piece to the My Mine track: a hopelessly, almost comically romantic track that only works because the non-lyrical elements are all so good. All the best synth-pop combines the coldness and alienness of electronic music with the warmth and schmaltz of pure pop, and “Ready 2 Wear” is a worthy addition to that tradition. So, in summary: a song about eating pussy and two gay-club synth-pop epics. I’m a real toughie.
