Track of the Day: May 21, 2014

The party tracks continue. Roger Troutman, talk box/vocoder and guitar player extraordinaire, posits one serious statement for any partier: how much bounce is in your ounce? I have good reason to believe that the more you play Zapp’s “More Bounce to the Ounce” the more bounce you get to your ounce. In terms of party production this is yet another triumph for America’s customary unit system of measurement. I mean, come on now: how much kilter is in your milliliter? or how much bam is in your gram?…again, come on now, do you even BOUNCE, BRAH?

The B-side to this monster of a jam is Mr. Troutman’s amazingly prescient, and in its own way, quite lovely “Computer Love”. In a perfect world, Roger would have still been alive to soundtrack Spike Jonze’s “Her”. Arcade Fire, has around .1 bounce to their ounce, unfortunately…
