Me, Madam Arcati and Baby Steve, doing what we do...
Normally, on a Sunday I might choose to feature something typical of the sort of music BBC Radio 2 used to play; we call it "Sunday Music", indeed. You know the sort of thing - Big Bands, Dance Bands, crooners, Lounge music, general laid-back-ness.
Not this Sunday!
I have been so utterly pissed-off by the fact that I have had a fortnight's leave [admittedly relaxing, with lots of lie-ins, and all that] which was meant to encompass a picnic in Regent's Park (cancelled due to the fucking shit weather - which also meant any chance of lounging/pottering in the garden was out of bounds until Tuesday this week - and replaced by a drinking sesh in a Wetherspoons), a long weekend in my fave city on earth Amsterdam (which was cancelled due to onerous COVID restrictions) for my birthday, and to be topped-off with a mass gathering for our first post-lockdown live on-stage musical Anything Goes (which was also cancelled at short notice due to fucking COVID stuff), that this Sunday - my last day before returning to the joys of working for a living - I am determined to rave till my tits fall off!
A good enough excuse for a blow-out is the fact it happened to be the birthday yesterday of our "Patron Saint of Dance Music" Miss Ana Matronic - so in her honour, here's a collection of choons I either originally heard on her radio show or I know she has featured over the years...
Enjoy, dear chums!
Now THAT is how to end a disappointing fortnight's "holiday" - with a bang!
Oh, you're taking me back to the days with this one. Delirium. Crystal Waters. Sing It and The Creeps! Adore. All. Sorry you've had such a bad go of it. Surely life will look kindly upon you and find a bit of joy for you to call your own. Be a good lad and have a dance on me... wishing you a marvelous celebration. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteFirst sniff of poppers is in your honour! Jx
DeleteYou three have definitely got The Moves! And you saved the best for last: Sylvester! (I haven't heard that Ralphi Rosario mix before - fab!) I feel the need to get my roller skates on!
ReplyDeleteMs Matronic always features the very best mixes of otherwise familiar choons - I love the Moloko-meets-Donna-Summer one, too! Jx
DeleteHow are your tits now?
