we (were) havin' a heatwave

The oppressive heatwave on the U.S. eastern seaboard finally passed. But not without three swealtering days. Prompting my iPod to dial up a couple of heatwave tunes. Starting it off with James White and the Blacks' (formerly James Chance & the Contortions) great post-punk / no-wave cover of "(Tropical) Heatwave."

(Tropical) Heatwave -- James White and the Blacks (1979)

And here's a mash-up by Boston's dj BC featuring "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas (vs. Mos Def vs. Led Zeppelin).
