"Burning Up" by Donnell Pitman

According to numerogroup.com:

“Although Donnell Pitman is championed in modern disco cliques for his infectious rarity ‘Love Explosion’

It was the unreleased masterpiece “Burning Up” that he brought aboard The Chicago Party in April of 1982. Recorded at Chicago’s Paragon Studios, both the A-Side and the exquisite flip ‘A Taste Of Honey’

Were rescued from oblivion when a cassette master was discovered in the briefcase of a former manager. Both songs were written by Jesus Wayne and represent a high-water mark in the canon of Chicago disco.”

If there’s a synchronicity to my life, I think it has to do with my experience last night, when I went back on the dating apps again…

And connected on Hinge with what I thought was a cute, normal 27-year-old woman from Pasadena…

But she turned out to be a still cute and perhaps still normal and perhaps still 27-year-old woman, but one who was offering escort services LOL…

Which I admit I thought about for more than a few seconds…

Before refusing.

Or as Donnell Pittman sings:

Burning up! I’m burning up! Burning for your love!

Or in meme form, it’s something like:

Then again a friend from Esalen just invited me to a club night here in LA in October to see a DJ called Nona En Pure.

I’d never heard of her.

But I liked her top songs on Spotify.

Come With Me - Radio MixNora En Pure

EnchantmentNora En Pure

And I’ve never had a proper LA club night.

So it feels like a growth edge.

Who knows, maybe I’ll kiss someone on the dancefloor.

And not have to pay any money for it.

Okay, that’s the two hundred and forty-fourth Shuffle Synchronicities.
