Do I have it in me? I believe it is in there


"Hey Mr DJ, put your knickers on"..?

Time for a selection of the "newer" choons that have caught my ear again, dear chums!

Before we go there however, it's worth noting that we're currently in the midst of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year - traditionally celebrated by "raising a noise" and blowing a horn. There are a few "horns" in this video featuring Tel Aviv's finest and house fave Uriel Yekutiel that I wouldn't mind blowing...

Shanah Tovah!

Onwards and upwards... Let's start with the "big releases" [since their reunion and forthcoming album is all over the news, it's inevitable] from ABBA, shall we?

The portent for the album is very promising, indeed - of these two "teasers", however, I prefer the second of the pair...

By complete contrast, here's the latest from everyone's favourite spunky Croatian pluckers - doing battle with Bon Jovi and winning:

Speaking about "winning battles"... We haven't heard much from [another house fave here at Dolores Delargo Towers] Señorita Monica Naranjo in a while, but here she is, paying tribute to smashing a song originally recorded by none other than Kim Wilde...

The next video is included here not because I particularly like the song, the music nor the singer's voice, but merely because of the excessive amount of ripe flesh Mr Mendes likes to show off - and who are we to argue? Watch it with the sound down, and it's rather good...

[The review in the Guardian made me hoot, as well: "In the UK, it has only been a summer of love if your passion is lateral flow tests or overpaying for a holiday cottage in Cornwall – but clearly, Shawn’s had a better couple of months. Here he boasts about drinking tequila, staying in bed all day and shagging so much it “felt like we were 18” again, which, given he’s still only 23, isn’t actually that impressive."]

As highlighted recently by Mr Device, I do like the new one by "Our Sophie" and her hubby's band The Feeling (from the soundtrack to the forthcoming Everybody’s Talking About Jamie film):

And finally... "Little Miss Weekend-without-an E" and his latest banger!

As usual, let me know what you think, dear reader.

Here we are now, entertain us


Our latest houseboy is a joy on washday...

The weather refuses to warm up - despite occasional sunny moments out there, it still isn't pleasant enough to sit out in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers. Pah.

To make up for it, let's watch another energetic thrashing session from our favourite hunky Croatians, shall we?


That woke us all up!

Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum!



Here's another convoluted connection for you...

2020 brings us huge worldwide celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the the birth of one Ludwig Van Beethoven - around 1,000 concerts, opera performances, festivals and exhibitions are expected throughout his native Germany alone; and in the UK, the Southbank Centre has a year-long festival in his honour, BBC television and radio is going overboard, and there are special seasons of his music planned for orchestras everywhere from Wigan to the Wigmore Hall.

Over at Inexplicable Device last week, there were celebrations of a much more modest variety - as the answers to his Grand Quiz were published, and the winner Miss Scarlet was crowned and awarded a sash emblazoned with the IDV "crusty-groyne-and-shag" logo.

Peculiarly the answer to one of quiz questions ["Which member of the Blogorati introduced me/us to 2Cellos?"] was "Me". [Back in August 2019, indeed]

As I need no excuse to feature fit young Eastern European men thrashing away at their large-sized viols, here they are, paying their own little tribute to Ludwig AND to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at the same time!

Thunder in the orchestra



Groan. The beautiful weather is still with us, and where are we? Yes! Sat behind tinted glass under malfunctioning air conditioning again...

Hey ho - let's cheer the situation up with two hunky Croatians whacking away at their fingerboards:


Nevjerojatan!*

We love them.
