various artists - I Like It Like That

I forgot to plug in my laptop, which means I forgot until 20 after midnight to start writing, which is probably residual from the ol' rectal clean-out I undertook last weekend. Regardless, you're not getting the usual top notch trenchant insights you come here for bi-weekly.

I found this, as I do so many other awesome weirdness, on a shelf at one of my local haunts, for the usual buck or two. It comes from Fania Records, the home of boogaloo, salsa, and a shitton of incredible Latin beats. One disc is a grip of remixed Fania classics; the second disc features the originals. If this is a world you're unfamiliar with (and if you're a cracker-ass white boi like yrs truly, you probably aren't familiar), then this serves as a pretty cool sampler of the 3,000+ releases on this landmark label.

The remixes, you could take or leave. But it's getting cooler out, so some hot jams are quite welcome.
