Dance!



Toronto, Ontario's Mike Long is my new hero. Sure, he wears skinny jeans and white shoes well out of season, but instead of cultivating ironic detachment, he goes in for earnest positivity, and it's downright infectious. From his YouTube channel description:
Do what you want, but don't expect the man to understand.

I am only here to make you smile and hopefully change the way you think about "genres," show you what honest reactions to music look like on the daily, teach you some stuff, SPREAD POSITIVITY and provide a new addiction for the masses.
A little spazzy, but his footwork is reminiscent of Jackie Wilson -- and he's got pretty great taste in music, but better taste in mise on scene like the sex shop location for an ode to Wilson Pickett. Hat tip flourish on the one to WBAI's Jay Smooth, who took time to eulogize Frosty Freeze, unlike this blog.
