This song is so hott!
Why the hell wasn't released!?!?

Isn't this one of the Rich Harrison trax?

i can't believe how bad the whole DJ project was fucked up.

Had this or All Nite be released the day after the Superbowl or the day of things might have been different.

I liked a lot of the outtakes from this much better than a lot of stuff that made it.

It's just an outtake, and a popular one. There's a good handful of outtakes from the past few albums. I wish she'd put out a CD of just those songs.

I don't like it at all.

Glad it didn't make the album.

Damita Jo is one her best albums!

I like the rock edge. It goes well with "Just A Little While". I thought I read somewhere that this style was the original direction the album was going in, but then it got changed to what was eventually released.

I'm not a fan of this song.

"Damita Jo" could have been a hot dance pop album (filled with different styles) but they had to pad it with midtempo R&B and crap sex ballads.

You know, I thought she was about to dust that off to release this year. She kept talking about how it was shot in HD in during the promotion for this last tour and cd. I wish she would come on.

Dancing at 2 in the morning to "AN(DS) (Chad Jack Mix, Sander Kleinenberg Mix)" ... dancing at 3 in the morning, drenched in sweat ...AND COULDN'T GIVE A FUCK, to "JALW (Peter Rauhofer Remix)" Lost in these damn songs like I was already dead.

Ahh, Damita Jo era.


I'm on IMEEM listening to a bunch of old Janet songs in succession "Love Me (Just Blaze)," "Just A Little While (Peter Rauhofer Remix)," "If."

"Love Me (Just Blaze)" was the illest outtake from the DJ sessions, imo. I remember walking around midtown on a humid summer afternoon blasting that on a brick-heavy iPod.



Wow. "Alright" just came on. God, the memories of all this. God.



Janet's music brings about very sharp memories from my past. I become instantly reflective/thought-heavy when I hear anything by her now. It's amazing what all these songs meant.

You can never tell me music doesn't mean something.

This song is great! But I love Put Your Hands On more
Janet has the best b-sides

For me too, for sure. Esp Janet and Madonna. Tina and Michael's music too; but esp Madonna's back catalouge, and even more especially Janet's. Hearing ANY track off "Janet." "The Velvet Rope" "Damita Jo" or even "All For You..." man, oh man, the high school, the crushes, the one true relationship I've ever had...man, oh man, Jan's music froze moments in time for me. Esp "My Need" or "Go Deep"...so true!

It's cute but I always thought the vocals were too shrill for my pleasure.

ehuffnsd said:

yes.


there's about 4 add'l tracks from the Rich Harrison sessions that didn't make the cut. (good friend leaked 2, including this one)

all i can say...

politics.

Unrelated, sorry: But OMG tonight I so want a 1814 nameplate hat. AHHHH.

Mara said:

I had one. I found an 1814 pin at Spencer's Gifts. I LOVED that thing. I found a black ball cap at some store in the Beverly Center in Los Angeles, and it had a metal plate on the bill. The plate had a few holes in it for interest. I pinned that 1814 pin on the hat (it was a good sized pin, not a small thing by any means), and voila.....I had me an 1814 ball cap. I had a little bit longer hair at the time and like any Janet fag, I put my pony tail through the hole in the back of the ball cap (where the adjustment tab is located). hahaha
