Despite a minor white wine hangover (the worst kind) I'm in exceptional humor today, and for no particular reason. It's 8:00am right now ... how long until my good mood crashes and decays? I still have to catch the 358 downtown, that oughta do it.

Til then, I wanna make you dig this:

"Take Me For A Little While" by The Mirettes

I've had it stuck on repeat for the past half hour ... I first heard and loved the Vanilla Fudge version, which I believe was copped off the original Edie Sands recording and replicates the slow burn yearning at the heart of the song, but this raved-up take is irresistible. Thanks, Funky 16 Corners ... once again, your programming is impeccable.
