For new readers to “Life Is Such A Sweet Insanity”, a “Wow worthy” song is a dance track that would be an excellent fit to the radio station I used to be Director of Operations for: Wow-FM, The Beat of Central New York (WOWZ-FM/WOWB-FM). Wow-FM bit the dust in 2001 when it was consumed by a huge media conglomerate and turned into a generic “Kiss” station. My program director’s ear occasionally finds a song that would fit the station really well if it still existed today.
I’ve found my first favorite dance track for 2006, and that dance track is “One Word (Chris Cox Radio Mix)” by Kelly Osbourne. I was led to this track by blogger god Joe. My. God. in a reference to a group of guys called The Mischievious Boys.
Who would ever believe that I would be diggin’ a Kelly Osbourne track? It’s a typical J.P. tempo’d song, has a great, slightly haunting vibe and a memorable hook. As a bonus, the flip side is a damn true-to -the-original remake of “The Sound of the Crowd” by The Human League!
Both tracks have already been loaded on my club mixing gear after one listen. Go buy it if you don’t have it already (it’s been around a while), it’s available on iTunes.
Funny you should mention this. Radio Disney, of all stations, tends to lean a little dance at night ( it’s the closest I can get to dance around here). Just the other night, they played 3 gold’s back to back to back that were Wow songs. I had such a moment. I was frozen time. I really really really miss having a dance station. At least Radio Disney get’s me. ( plus that have BB. and she put Miranda on the radio last week…..).
I totally get a “WOW worthy song.” I am off to listen to it. Is that Ozzy’s daughter??????
