So I've been DJing for about 15 years now and a by-product of too many late nights, too much music, and not enough sleep is a condition called DJ-ADD. To my knowledge I am the only documented case but I'm sure there are others out there who are affected but sadly go undiagnosed. The main symptom is that I listen to music like I'm DJing even when I am not; 2 minutes into a record I'm already thinking about the next thing I'm going to play.
So when I do get stuck on something it's man-bites-dog momentous. And right now I am stuck on this track called "Can't Stop Moving" by Sonny Jim. Imagine the Jackson 5 (for obvious reasons), The Avalanches, Justice, and Fatboy Slim all swapping spit and this is pretty much what the end result would be....a perfect throwaway summer dance hit.
There are a few other tracks on dudes MySpace page that are also pretty fun. And randomly he lists New York Cosmos under his influences so he's one of us. Check out the video above.
Shouts to Stereogum for the tip-off.

Forgive me, as I was obviously mistaken.
I was told this was a soccer/futbol/calcio blog.
Evidently not.
I used to DJ too, and I have the same affliction!
Wow, this song is incredibly catchy, and yeah, sounds like an Avalanches track, which is always great in my book.
love your music selections. Can you do a blog with your top 2007 summer hits. I love to make a cd and your sonny jim and artic monkey songs are a great start.
