If you’re going to prostrate yourself at the altar of a poor love, at least do it with some goddamn pride.  There’s a way to admit to a litany of loserly tendencies in an ex without sending like your going to carve their name in every bathroom stall from Tokyo to Sydney.  It’s called introspection with a punchy headbob and a high-kick, and this Basenji remix of Sable’s ‘Foolin” gets it. Like a left hook to the heart’s jaw after sliding out a confession (“I was a fool…to believe in you”), Basenji’s mix, decries getting down on ourselves with a dancey ‘Dominate!”. Dominate your feelings?  Dominate your life? It doesn’t make  it crystalline, but it’s clearly not your partner. That ambiguity leaves the track open to a host of post-break up anthemic nights half spent over a whiskey bottle, half sweating out emotions on the dancefloor. Which is pretty much perfect.
