DOWNLOAD OF THE DAY: INAUGURAL EDITION (CONGRATS PRESIDENT OBAMA!)
One of the major themes of President Obama's historic inaugural speech was the past.
Whether it was examining how far we've come as a country or suggesting we look to history to find inspiration for the future, Obama made it clear that is was necessary to "step back in time".
So, today's special inaugural edition of Download of the Day features a song all about the past, "Step Back In Time" by Kylie Minogue.
Released in 1990 from her huge Rhythm of Love record, Kylie wishes for the musical days of old, when the O'Jays traveled around on the love train and people walked in rhythm. The Stock Aiken Waterman production brought Kylie to disco for the first time, and God bless them for it. The song, which mixes 70's with a dash of 90's house, is an irresistible, club-filling, pop smash that would get even the McCains on the dancefloor (can you imagine John McCain doing the hustle?).While some look down on Kylie's time with PWL, it's hard to ignore the fizzy pop fun that the era delivered.
I think we should listen to the sage advice of Obama and Minogue and embrace the past, whether it delivers answers to our economic problems or gets us to party.
Here is the 1990 music video:

And just for fun, here is President Obama dancing (presumably to this song, lol):
