tl;dr:

• I don't know what 3 steps are still
• this song is good for summer night

Back after 30 days of no-streak to sticky-note the passage of time with -- u guessed it -- a PT song. This is off of his 'Hyperextension: The Complete PT Remixes, Vol. 1 ( https://allergyseason.bandcamp.com/album/hyperextension-the-complete-physical-therapy-remixes-vol-1 ) which was released 5/1/20, but this song is dated 2011. I went down a bit of a link hole for a bit, but it's 12:30, so condensing this into sections:

1. What is 3 step? - I would normally think of a Waltz. 3 beats? I watched a video where a man explains triple step ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJv5yatKRHU ) , and I tried to do it along to this song (for too long) -- it doesn't feel right at all for this beat. is that just because I am very bad at moving my feet to a rhythm (now that I reflect on this, I do rely a lot on my hands when i dance...) or is 3-step referring to something else? this just feels like a break throughout the song, but isn't this otherwise 4/4? (A hole I am not going down now, but this YT video has a very strange image on the downbeat for -- what it seems to be a video to teach kids how to count time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNJAY0OO_Kc ) -- what does on top and on bottom mean again? ( https://www.libertyparkmusic.com/musical-time-signatures/) ----- OK - this video was a better explanation ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khc5opi5LvA ) - it's just 1-and-2. Is there a scoop out of my brain where this is supposed to make sense? no more.

2. queer connections - I couldn't find any good interview about this track in particular from PT. I found an old uh - announcement? review? of the release from 2011. The review says nothing: "Physical Therapy makes Siinai a new 3-step 'Anthem'
   God, the weather is beautiful lately. Windows get thrown open, shirts come off, remixes get dropped. Remixes like this gorgeous new 3-step remix by Physical Therapy. The New Jersey-based producer, always one of our favorites, reworks Finnish band Siinai’s single from last year’s Olympic Games LP into a reverb-heavy gem that sparkles like sunlight. Take off your clothes, lay by the pool, and sip some caipirinhas while you jam this one. Like a damn pimp. [emphasis mine -- like a damn pimp? oh, uh -- yeah, i guess this review otherwise says the same thing that i say: this is nice song for summer. OK.]
   But - I did start reading (another) interview with PT -- http://truantsblog.com/2019/interview-physical-therapy/
   He was roommates in college with Mykki Blanco and "'apprenticed' under Arca. He's obviously queer friendly (given honcho) but the queer influence on his early experience with learning and experiencing dance music adds a nice layer. Also, that interview is on a whole good. Mentions a cover of You Oughta Know, which i found on YT here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xAtbLf_Fow&list=PLDACC76B3FF81D2A0&index=9&t=0s - and will probably use on another post. It's not good, but his devotion to digging is. Mm.

3. pt blog' - lol neat https://raremp3s.home.blog/author/physicaltherapy1988/ - not much happening on here but noting to self to revisit.

4. oh yeah the review - How many songs could fit under the banner of songs for a warm summer night? Is it just that I'm back in Austin, currently with windows open to a breeze that is too hot for 1AM, that I've been using 'warn summer night' so liberally? Or -- Maybe, the proto-warm summernight w/r/t dance music is "brenda" by Ara Koufax, played for me and will by Virat at honcho year 2. this music has the same somewhat spirtual quality to it as that song -- so maybe that is where the association is from? The consistent strumming one note and the reverb voice would come off as religious on its own, and the break throughout (the.. erm.. three step...............) gives it a directionality. like, you want to move your wrist in the way that you say "speed it up" around in circles with your palm facing yourself, hand parallal to torso -- but also want to tilt your head up and way for the rapture. it rolls through, it rolls through. directionality with no urgency nor any terrestrial destination. and thats what summer is all about of course

5. also here is a nice video about the amen break - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaFTm2bcac - which is a video of an art exhibit of a record / dub plate (which deteriorates after some listens) giving a lecture. 6.7 mil views, uploaded 2006. 14 years ago? yikes

6. I found an error on Spotify - this track is on 'Anthem 1&2' by Siinai, but the original is the PT remix, and the one billed as the PT remix is the original. I googled how to report to spotify, but it sounds like the label has to provide corrections for music (which makes sense -- the hell of having phish ppl trying to 'correct' every song or album listing in spotify)

7. i want more songs like this - mmmmm
