Homebrew (Neneh Cherry)

Neneh Cherry's Homebrew (1992) is a decent album. There are some decent tracks, some very good tracks, and one standout excellent one. The track which wows is "Trout," a duet with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe. Some of the very good ones include "Twisted," "Somedays," and "Red Paint." Overall, it's a nice album, and while it likely won't show up on any lists of the greatest albums of all time, it's worth hearing.

1. Sassy (featuring Guru from Gangstarr)
2. Money Love (samples "For the Love of Money")
3. Move With Me
4. I Ain't Gone Under Yet
5. Twisted
6. Buddy X
7. Somedays
8. Trout (with Michael Stipe)

Song of the Day: "Buffalo Stance"

ARTIST: Neneh Cherry
TITLE: "Buffalo Stance"
YEAR: 1989

Neneh Cherry's big 1989 hit "Buffalo Stance" has some of the most quotable lyrics ever. And I don't know why, because most of them don't seem like they should make sense out of context - but they're perfect. Don't have an answer to a question or need a witty retort? Quote "Buffalo Stance." Need some material for a good text or voicemail? Quote "Buffalo Stance."

Okay, perhaps I'm exaggerating here; but, whether it be the quotable lyrics or just its sheer awesomeness, something caused "Bufffalo Stance" to recently enter my head and stay there, and I have since listened several times. The song just doesn't get old.
