Lunchtime Round Up

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

1/ Last night on my iPod on came Fat Bob with "In Between Days". This got me thinking. Once I made a special "BREAK GLASS IN EMERGENCY" wedding disco CD with songs I did not especially adore but knew would DO A JOB on the floor. I wonder if for future Poptimisms, should they occur, I should have a similar CD to guarantee me some LiveJournal GothXoR Dance Action. And if so - here's where you come in - what should be on it?? Obviously the Cure but what else?

2/ From my country CD box set I give you Daddy's Hands (lyrics only you'll be sorry to hear), this is one song whose downhome sentiment I fear does not travel!

3/ Oh I don't know, grumble about the Arctic Monkeys or something.

k-punk hates 99 red balloods so i like it

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Hah what is his hate based on?

Was Nena a Grebo?

I am not convinced of the dancefloor merits of Duran Duran, good crowd yes but not full on guaranteed premier league fill-it-up action whether with Goths, office parties or whatever.

Duran Duran

They were a banker abt four or so years ago, on account of novelty/revival value. Now it seems a bit old hat.

it wz an out-of-nowhere sideswipe, using the reliable "use other distantiation plz" term EXECRABLE

everyone called Nena is Grebo (cf also N.Hagen/N.Cherry)

Artic Monkeys aren't even in the bottom half of my scores for this week, so bad is almost everything else.

I get the feeling that I am not missing much by being unable to jukebox.

The last couple of weeks have not exactly been classics.

daddys hands is one of my mothers favourite tracks, because it reminded her of her father. it moves me intensely, b/c of that history...it is however sentimental glurge.

I mentioned a country song as a welcome to you Anthony!

(PS I know I am very much the debtor in terms of writings but any chance of a few lines on a Jack Chick Homosexual for the ILC poll?)

Am I alone in imagining Pete singing parts of Daddy's Hands in The Voice?
