Bedroom Rockers Contest

Back on October, when the motel was just opening it's doors, I divided the posts into three major categories: "Elevator Beat" for the chilly, jazzy, downtempo type of music, "Laundry Room" for the new and otherwise challenging music around here and, well, "Bedroom rockers", which was based on friend Susy Q's original idea on how to arrange a good bedroom playlist by dividing it into 6 very helpful sub-categories (Rhytmic and exotic oddysey, deep and tender sex, upset and frenetic mating, cosmic sexual trip, sunday morning sex & kinky collection).

At the time, I thought having sex-themed posts would open up many posting possibilites: going back and forth on the sexiest songs of the month, music to make stripteases to, erotic music through the years, and so on. After the blog ran, I realized that I hadn't established to much identity to this kind of posts and that there's a noticeable lack of sexy songs around the "indie-sphere" to be constantly bringing anything new to the blog. The sex posts, I concluded, would eventually become redundant. As I started inviting people to form a staff I'm very proud of, the original 3 posting categories were gone, and only random "kinky collections" are still posted irregulary. (For a complete list of the kinky collections so far, check this complete link set that was posted by squashed on a thread at freeponytheory.)

Anyhow, to conmemorate those early motel days and to celebrate summer the way we ought to, I'm uploading a whole set of bedroom rockers, some of this songs have already been uploaded to the blog, but I tried to keep it as fresh and eclectic as I could. Pick your poison & enjoy.

But, wait there's more! just before I dissapear for a pair of weeks, I'd like to throw the first official contest at MdM (yey!). The rules are simple: leave a comment with your mail and with what you consider are the 3 sexiest songs before Saturday, June 24th and if you win you will get 2 CD's of your choice from either Insound, Amazon or CDUniverse (woohoo!). The winner will be notified when I come back via mail, July 11th. (Note: Each CD can have a maximum price of $20, or if you'd rather have one of those expensive $35-$40 dollar imports then it will be arranged via mail). The best recommendations I get from the comments are likely to be included on a next bedroom rockers post, which will in turn be provided as a soundtrack to the russian financed porn movie "Honeymoon in chernobyl" (медовый месяц в Чернобыля) directed by Aleksei Balabanov. All profits from the soundtrack will be donated to the "children with three hairs on the left testicle fund". Good luck!
