The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight (Spank Rock Remix)

The original was considered too taboo for commercial radio or MTV to play in 1984, is unofficially responsible for getting Madonna into S&M, and serves as a spirited dedication to the professionals who earn a good living by chaining up, whipping, and torturing upscale Manhattan businessmen. All with an innocently pleasant Cyndi Lauper/Goonies/Who's That Girl? vibe.




Dominatrix - The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight (Original 12" version)

I'm sure the torture business is down these days what with "The Hills," but still. Devlin & Darko sped up the tempo, let Amanda Blank establish dominance & spit on it for FabricLive 33 (definitely buy this album). Fabric doesn't allow mp3 posts so Devlin sent over the original cut below, which turned out to be quite an upbeat jam for your next consensual beatdown.


Amanda Blank - That Girl (Dominatrix blend)

Now the Dom is awake and receiving the MoMA treatment this Thusday as part of their Art/Music in Pop Culture film series. So I get to put on my woefully underused tweed jacket with elbow pads and drop a hamilton to watch this on the big screen along with an Andy Warhol-directed Cars video, a Sonic Youth video about anorexia, misc. Toni Basil, and a 1978 performance by The Cramps for the patients at California's Napa Mental Institute.

How Big Is It Going Down?

As Mickey Free from the B says, it's going down real big. Couple updates - first, local beatsmith Shields is prepping his debut album/mixtape A Beyond Experience Vol. 1 for a spring drop date, he says it's "on some go walk in the park style." Fresh sample below with more details later.


Shields - Dip Trip



Jones, Height, The Plural MC, PT Burnem, and Bow n' Arrow are playing a Rap Round Robin show at the Current Gallery this Saturday - Jones says "all the acts will be set up at the beginning, each playing a song in turn until all have played four songs. One long mega-set, multiple PAs." This sounds filthy, don't miss it. If anyone can take some decent pics or video and share with us afterwards that would be tops. Directions here.


Height - Bad Weather


PT Burnem - Heart Beat


The Plural MC/Frenemies - Rap Tornado (Miami Nice)


Jones - Too Dope


Bow n' Arrow - Cybersex


The irony potential for Devlin & Darko wearing these shirts is layered and complex, so approach with caution. Is it for serious? And who just made guacamole? Answers to these questions and more can be found at the Fully Fitted blog where semi-local celeb contributors including Pase Rock, xxxchange, Mr. Devlin and Ronnie Darko argue which Mad Max movie was the tightest and occasionally share music, like this sneak leak from their upcoming Fully Fitted EP.
