Dēacön Blü's Sea Of Fools Song Of The Day: Byrne And Barnes - An Eye For An Eye (Climax, 1981 / Favorite, 2016) “Love You Out of Your Mind” Today’s the day, @SeaOfFools78 at the Waydown on top of @AceHotelChicago, with #PathwayToGloryDJs Duke Grip and m’self, and what better way to start in than with one of the back-to-back smooth contenders in the #YachtRock / #WestCoastAOR universe, the #gawdly sons at the tippy-top of #SouthernYacht... I’m talkin’ ‘bout our boys Robert Byrne and Brandon Barnes (aka #ByrneAndBarnes), of course. Pick a song, any song... so it goes for this miraculous platter at the nexus of joy and perfection. From this two-named all-timer I select the engagingly #SmoothAF “Love You Out of Your Mind,” co-signed by the #gawd @DamFunk, if such things get your pontoon idling down southern shores any more steady. Replete with uber-smooth lead and harmony vox, synth farts and #sensualsmooth vibes, “Love You...” is an all-timer on an all-timer anyone with two ears and a heart should dig into quite nicely. And for whoever tried to convince me Byrnes’ two year prior solo shot wasn’t worthy the time of a refined #EarMind should have the taste slapped out their mouth, as both shall be attendant in the crates today from 4-8, do be thurr... [Still I’m cold on the 👀 for that Climax pressing, tho, after missing out on a super-clean OG w/ OBI, insert and all a few months back, but this Favorite RE will do me fine for these times.] #GrownFolksVibes (at Waydown) https://www.instagram.com/p/B50QRl9JdZm/?igshid=1mdifj7nipsg7

Dēacön Blü's Sea Of Fools Song Of The Day: Bobby Caldwell - Carry On (Polydor, 1982) “Sunny Hills” The #gawd, #TheGoat, the #CoolUncle... The Bobby. Nigh on every decade our man cloaked’n’enshrined in smooth gets “discovered” again from the shadows’n’silhouettes and folks are aghast at his lack of melanin, with his rich, mellifluous, Stevie-inflected vocals... When @SeaOfFools78—#PathwayToGloryDJs Duke Grip and m’self—lightens your senses tomorrow from 4pm-8pm atop @AceHotelChicago at the Waydown, we can’t offer up shining rays or sunny hills, tipping into December and all, but the sorta vibes offered up will cast visions of sunshine on the third eye. “You'll grow more content with the atmosphere...,” as Bobby sez here. This here jam is the bonafide definition of smooth’n’breezy and the perfect soundtrack to cast down a few cocktails. See ya soon (and listen close to the lyrics here, if ya wanna dose of peculiar and unique topicry within a pop song framework.) [No pic from the archives this time, as I inadvertently left my copy at the shop yesterday... That’s @ConservatoryShop where I’m your humble curator’n’clerk. Come give a visit if ya happen to be in the #Chicagoland area, we’ve a #YachtRock / #WestCoastAOR / Glide section assembled by yours trooly.] #GrownFolksVibes #SmoothAF (at Waydown) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xwPPzJKba/?igshid=u0l717gja7jd

Dēacön Blü's Sea Of Fools Song Of The Day: Robert Lamm - Skinny Boy (Columbia, 1974) “A Lifetime We” A cold one—yet a hard one to summarize—comes by way of Chicago founder member Robert Lamm. The keyboardist, singer, and songwriter of the big one’s (“25 Or 6 to 4,” “Saturday In The Park,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” etc.) penned’n’performed this absolute standout—‘least to these ears—from his debut solo shot that lands somewhere between the realm of jazzy, ethereal #FolkFunk and #Steppers territory. It’s flute-laden, #funky, #smoothAF and nearly sounds positively modern (just mind that groove). An all-timer and more in the general #PathwayToGloryDJs and (perhaps) #WestCoastAOR universe than firmly docked by the sound of #YachtRock , but certainly appears with proto- vibes and is an absolute all-timer for the Dēacön. [FWIW, didn’t forget the @YouTube links previously, just figured you could follow your nose, but this one below deftly jumps past the intro...] #GrownFolksVibes https://youtu.be/679zROCNfhM?t=28 (at Chicago metropolitan area) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5vI1X8J2cI/?igshid=xtyj3o4y9py7
