    Fuerte J is my hero. I'm listening to Gold right now.
    And I have exactly 16 songs loaded on my mp3 player, 14 downloads from the Wilco site, a Jay Farrar song, and the Bob Edwards interview with Jeff Tweedy that was on NPR.
    Plus two Wilco podcasts that I haven't been able to convert to Mp3s and that's all I got.

    Apache - Sugarhill Gang.

    One of the greatest dance songs ever. I suggest it for Valentine's Day lovemaking, it worked well for me pre-Valentine's Day.

    I'll add two songs that will get the girl going during "good times":
    Superfly and My Humps (though this only applies if she is under the age of 29, though I have never tried it on anyone in the mid-life).
