Why do we like this?

It's been roughly 20 minutes since I arrived back in Cape Town. My journey from Jo'burg took 25 hours, but that was perfectly fine -- I was on "the Blue Train," a first-class experience that included 5-course dinner and 4-course lunch.

Naturally, the first thing I decided to do upon arriving in Cape Town was to head to work and hang out with my favorite people at the 2050 Coworking Space.

Clearly a hip bunch, I posed the question: what should today's Song of the Day be? And that's when someone piped up with this suggestion: "Basic Instinct" by The Acid.

It's a blend of folk-pop and daytime disco, a vibe I struggle to deny. Hopefully you'll find this track setting yourself as well-aligned as I am.

By Anu Rana on May 24, 2013 | I'm about to make a bold statement. This track sounds a lot like a young Johnny Cash and Elvis fused into one person to soundtrack the love montage in an urban, 1950s Western film. It's what Johnny Cash sings and the way Elvis sings it, or maybe it's... read more →
