Super Comforters
Black Leotard Front - Casual Friday
A few propositions about this song:
1) It's the best 15 minute sexual harassment disco song ever produced by humans.
2) Black Leotard Front exist as a performance/visual art group. They really wear leotards when they play live. 'Casual Friday' was composed especially for one of their shows. Their band name brings to mind Mike Myers' 'Sprockets' sketch, for better or worse.
3) In a just world, some whimsically managed record company would allow me to fulfill my dream of compiling a mix of songs that deal with sexual harassment in the workplace. 'Cubicle Temptation: Look, but Don't Touch' would include 'Step into My Office, Baby', by Belle and Sebastian, and a song by Kool Keith that I can't remember the name of just now. You can tell I've really thought this through.
4) The members of the group include the dazzlingly talented Delia Gonzalez, Gavin Russom, and Christian Holstad. 'Casual Friday' appears on DFA Compilation #2, which you can buy from these excellent people (it's 3 CDs for $20! kind of a steal).
