The Middle Eight

I grew up to the beat of electronic drums


HEARTBREAK AND THEN SOME



Beth Ditto I Wrote The Book.



Thank you, Beth Ditto, for a proper, lush homage to Madonna's Justify My Love. I love everything about this track, the sound of which is reminiscent of two club classics: Good Life by Inner City (thanks Zen!) and the Ben Watt/Estelle collaboration Pop A Cap In Yo Ass. And the lyric!

Revenge, regret
I wrote the book
Forgive and forget
I wrote the book

Heartbreak and then some

Tell me, where is a friend when you need one?
Before you take a second look
Remember I know every trick in the book

Beth always takes it a beat beyond fierce. She's not that simple. Forgive and forget.
