Touched by a Groove

Some beats come from the oddest and most unlikely of places but still manage to move and inspire me. I hear it and I want to hear more. I wish it were mine. That I created it and could do with it as I pleased. Sadly two of the latest grooves to set up camp in my head come from the saddest and most pathetic of places. One is a simple acoustic guitar lick set to a minimalist dance beat. The other is a sweet hiphop number that picks up energy by adding a punk guitar line to the mix. Both are insanely infectious and are just the type of thing I would have done. The first song is the background music for a "please turn off your cellphone" message at the theater. The other ends with the McDonalds theme. Geez.
