We've been in need of some soul and some funk and especially some etc. Lovely so far.

Thank you so much, box. I was just out shopping, doing the sit-in-the-car-outside-the-store bit, and completely disappointed in the radio I could find. In 40 minutes of hitting scan, I listened to precisely one song all the way through -- and that was "All She Wants To Do Is Dance".
Not because I liked it, but because I was astonished at how many times that line was repeated with virtually no change in inflection.
