A-T-4 033 Wish Featuring Fonda Rae - Touch Me (All Night Long)

I've shared several Fonda Rae recordings. Rae had been the lead singer in Patrick Adams' group Rainbow Brown (It Ain't No Big Thing, Let's Go Another Round), after scoring a massive hit with Over Like A Fat Rat written by Adams friends and collaborators Leroy Burgess, Sonny T. Davenport, and James Calloway she is back featuring on a Patrick Adams/Greg Carmichael one off, a studio group they named Wish. Touch Me (All Night Long) (sometimes Tuch Me) might possibly be bigger than Over Like A Fat Rat, both have been heavily sampled but Touch Me has been covered more times. The best known cover I know is Cathy Dennis's pop version of 1990. Of course the positions of the two songs are different Over Like A Fat Rat is about reservations and dreams for some reason in my head I link it to the Burgess/Carmichael et al Bearly Breaking Even like there's an internal conflict happening, I think it's the 'getting over' bit I dunno, Touch Me (All Night Long) speaks for itself

The 1984 mixes were made by Bruce Forest

The original on Spotify and Bandcamp

In the UK Wish was dropped and Touch Me came out under Fonda Rae's name. Streetwave put out out a special version for breakdance which was a little more freestyle, in other territories it was just the dub mix (I think)

and here's footage of Fonda Rae performing Touch Me on US TV

As a spotlight shines on Hollywood’s shutdown, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA continue to battle it out with the studios.  We take a look back at how the film studios captured the struggle and victories of unions and labor throughout history. From the biographical tale of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa portrayed by Jack Nicholson in Hoffa, to classics like On The Waterfront starring Marlon Brando, and hits such as The Pajama Game, Norma Rae, and 9 to 5, featuring Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Jane Fonda. The latter film drew inspiration from the women’s movement, addressing issues of gender inequality, workplace harassment, and unequal treatment in the workforce. Take a look at the selection of films that embody labor solidarity on the silver screen.

Cultura

 

“Cultura” 2025

 

Como continuación a la propuesta que nos hace cada año mi amiga y escritora, Neus Arqués (Un hombre de pago. Urano. 2006…), este año 2025 he elegido una palabra —como cada año hace Pantone con un color— como vengo haciéndolo desde 2023.*

 

La palabra que me va a acompañar durante mi próxima vuelta al sol será “cultura”. En catalán, porque esa es mi lengua y a la que amo; en español, porque me mola y porque este es mi huerto y planto en él lo que me da la gana; y en latín, que es más fino y porque es de Roma y no de Kabul de donde venimos.

 

Según la RAE, en la primera acepción de esta entrada, la cultura es el conjunto de conocimientos que permite a alguien desarrollar su juicio crítico.

Yo me atrevería a ir algo más allá de la Academia y definiría cultura como aquello que permanece una vez olvidados, o mejor aún, una vez cristalizados los conocimientos, esto es, el juicio crítico.

 

En esos tiempos de alineación y de pensamiento único es necesario mantener la conciencia de aquel Übermensch que definió Nietzsche, mantener la fe en el nihilismo (escepticismo, si no te gusta el término nihilismo) vitalista y alimentar un alma libre e insumisa. Solo la cultura puede mantener incólume la voluntad, esa capacidad que tanto detestan los carceleros del librepensamiento (esos que no escucharon a Zaratustra cuando debieron haberlo hecho) y que tanto ahínco ponen en doblegarla.

 

Cultura es tradición, es comer canelones por Sant Esteve, alimentar al Tió con mandarinas de Todolí, es envolver regalos por Navidad y honrar al fuego durante el solsticio de verano. Es la hogaza de pan bien horneada, el olor a trufa negra de Bordón en la cocina, el aroma del café por la mañana y recordar aquella mermelada de ruibarbo que nos hacía Quico para Reyes.

 

Es la capacidad y la experiencia para disfrutar de la mineralidad de un Scharzhofberg de Egon Müller o de las fascinantes aristas, de la perfecta integración y de los recuerdos que evoca un sorbo de Gran Reserva 890.

 

Y apreciar la magia de Tannhäuser de Wagner (yo este nivel todavía no lo he alcanzado), de White rabbit de Jefferson Airplane o de Wish you were here de Pink Floyd. Para algunos puede ser disfrutar del canto Stabat mater y para otros —espero que no demasiados— de la Bohemian Rhapsody de The Queen o de Supertramp.

 

Es emocionarse con el monolito de 2001 de Kubrick, con el amor cuántico y partenofilial de Cooper y Murph en Interstellar de Nolan, con Jane Fonda en Barbarella (eso es fácil) o con Sylvia Kristel en Emmanuelle (eso también es fácil) y es alucinar con la complejidad Stalker (eso ya es más difícil), de Andréi Tarkovski, disidente soviético, porque de la uniformidad del comunismo solo se puede disidir.

 

Y es lenguaje, aprender y leer. Leer sobre todo libros, y leerlos cuando deben ser leídos: es crecer con Bartelby, con los Mitos de Cthulhu, con el joven Werther, con Gregorio Samsa, con Holden Caulfield, con Rick Deckard, con William Lee, con Pep Subirós y con Jancis Robinson.

¡Y casi me olvido de Colin y de Isis (Boris Vian), y de los Nueve príncipes de Ámbar (Roger Zelazny)!

Cultura no es ni Instagram ni Tik Tok, no nos engañemos, cultura es papel, olor a tinta y vigilia.

 

Un hombre culto se siente como K (léase El Castillo, de Franz Kafka) ante una notificación de la agencia tributaria, y se sentiría como Sthendal con el éxito de la motosierra (si este llegase algún día o cuando llegue).

 

Cultura es diferencia y tolerancia, es coincidir pero también es disidir y discrepar, es debatir ideas sin falacias ni fanatismos y aprender de estas conversaciones. Es cerebro, es corazón y jamás es víscera. Es silencio más que ruido. La cultura ni es imposición ni pretende convencer; no entiende de himnos ni de banderas pero sí de territorios, de razones y de argumentos.

 

Cultura son las matemáticas, la física, el estudio de las partículas cuánticas y la tecnología. Es la NASA, la ESA, SpaceX y mirar hacia las estrellas, como hace Vincent en Gattaca o lo hacía Carl Sagan en Cosmos.

 

Es cultura valorar la faceta constructiva de las personas, apreciar aquellas aptitudes que las hacen individuales, es escucharlasy aprender de ellas. Es comprensión y respeto. La cultura es la voz y la herencia de nuestros ancestros.

 

En las antípodas de la cultura está la ignorancia, esa cualidad sobrevalorada que jamás proporcionará la felicidad, que inhabilita al que la sufre para disfrutar de la belleza, del matiz y del detalle.

 

En cultura sufrir por los niños muertos en Gaza, por las mujeres lapidadas en Iran y por los jóvenes masacrados en el festival Supernova Sukkot Gathering, Israel. Y es incultura, es barbarie, no hacerlo.

 

La persona culta es honesta, educada, curiosa y responsable. Su misión y su deber es tratar de iluminar a sus congéneres y, en particular, a los de las nuevas generaciones. Sin ese compromiso ese individuo culto es del todo prescindible, carne en tránsito y un dispendio.

 

Además, la cultura, que es todo eso —y tantas cosas más—, se encuentra en la confluencia entre la inteligencia y la verdad, en ese punto donde el mono se convierte en hombre.

 

Y podría ser también el más preciado bien que el homo sapiens legue a la nueva especie que nos va a suceder. Y quizás sea el único.

Today's compilation:

100% Hits Vol. 2 1991 Pop-Rock / Pop-Rap / Pop / Dance-Pop / Adult Contemporary

Alright, so...this was pretty much every bit as bad as you'd probably expect a compilation that looks like this would be 😅. This whole cut-and-paste style of album art construction that places a bunch of rectangular artist photos against a clashing, plain-yellow background has a way of transmitting that same cheap, hollow, and wholly manufactured vibe that a cover of one of those typical teenybopper magazines might too, and that's more or less what you end up receiving with this second installment in Warner Music Australia's 100% Hits series here; an embarrassing hole of substanceless and mindless crud that weaves together some of the most disposably uninspired examples of pop, pop-rock, dance-pop, pop-rap, and adult contemporary that you'll likely ever hear. And you know that something like this is truly representative of the absolute worst that the early 90s had to offer when you can safely conclude that Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations"—a fun, catchy, and very goofy song, no doubt—is somehow legitimately one of the best tunes that's on this album, all in spite of Mark Wahlberg's own comically braggadocious and terrible attempts at rapping 😵‍💫.

And I guess for the most prime example of all this Australian pop awfulness then, one really need look no further than national soap opera star Melissa's unbelievably atrocious "Sexy (Is the Word)," which somehow managed to reach #3 on the country's pop chart and achieved gold status there too. You might logically assume that something like this was actually made as an exaggerated satire on what dance-pop writ large was looking and sounding like back then, but I really don't think that that was the case here. And Melissa may've had a ton of sex appeal too, but she really could not do the most important thing that a pop star needs to do, which is SING WITH A MODICUM OF ACCEPTABLENESS, so this really has to be up there as one of the single-worst pop songs that's probably ever been made, period 🤢. Like, it's so bad that I think the entire nation of Australia should be made to feel shame over it for collectively allowing the conditions to exist in order for it to manifest itself in the first place.

Do not, under any circumstances, watch this shit.

And also, color me completely surprised to find an act like legendary 'real' east coast hip hop duo Gang Starr on this CD too, strangely nestled between the likes of future 'Queen of Christian Pop,' Amy Grant (anyone else remember that song of hers that went, "It takes a little time sometimes, to get your feet back on the ground"?), and Cathy Dennis, who'd just given the world her memorably signature dance-pop cover of Wish & Fonda Rae's "Touch Me (All Night Long)," before going on to later write Kylie Minogue's landmark "Can't You Get Out of My Head," too 😂. Probably the oddest album that you could possibly imagine to find Gang Starr on, but apparently their song "Lovesick" got something of a swingin' and upbeat British acid jazz remix treatment to it, and then it ended up doing surprisingly well in Australia of all places, so here they are. And it's not totally bad by any means—especially by the rest of the standards that are set by this album—but it's also definitely not the style of jazz-rap that they'd become known for making, either.

Deeply anodyne clunker from one of my favorite pop acts from this time period too, Roxette, whose "The Big L." really should've stood for 'The Big Loser,' rather than 'The Big Love.' Yikes! 😮‍💨

So this was purely just one of the worst possible ways to experience this era of popular music. In a broad sense, when you say the term 'early 90s' to people, a lot of them probably immediately think of a band like Nirvana, and Seattle grunge more generally, but whatever's on this album, even though it was exclusively tailored to an Australian audience, is actually a far more accurate portrayal of what these years actually sounded like for most folks in the West. We had Vanilla Ice, we had Milli Vanilli, we had Michael Bolton, we had glam metal's last, dying breaths, and we also had a ton of other songs that sounded like what was on this album too. These were some extremely dark times for pop music as a whole, and this release does a bang-up job of capturing just how dire things were capable of getting 😩.

Highlights:

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - "Good Vibrations" Gang Starr - "Lovesick" Ghostwriters - "...Someone's Singing New York New York"
