I am reminded that today it is Rosh Hashanah, aka Jewish New Year.
What better way to send our greetings to our Jewish chums than with one of Israel's finest performers (and eternal house favourite here at Dolores Delargo Towers), Mr Uriel Yekutiel?
On this Tacky Music Monday, let us ease ourselves into the awfulness that is another week in work by rehearsing some faboo dance moves with Uri:
Fantabulosa - I expect to see you move-perfect by the end of the day!

The great musical round-up 2011
OK, It's that time of year when all thoughts turn to trying to remember what music "rocked our boats" during the last twelve months.
To that end, here are (in no particular order) the Dolores Delargo Towers Top Twenty Songs of 2011!
Let us open with the very cool Eastman ft Neve - Greedy Eyes, from July:
Even cooler, Jessica 6 - White Horse, from March:
Herr Styler - Snow in Paris was toast of the town here at the Towers in January:
The beautiful Sound of Arrows - Nova, first featured here in April:
A very welcome return for a gay pioneer, Darren Hayes - Black Out The Sun (here in its remixed form), from September:
Speaking of gay, gay, gay - the anthem that never was, Sir Ari Gold featuring LaBelle's Sarah Dash - Sparkle, featured here in September:
Duran Duran - Girl Panic was a fantabulosa return to form for a long-standing favourite group in November:
Continuing the theme of "welcome returns", Mari Wilson - O.I.C, released earlier in the year, was a discovery here in December:
Not something I am proud of, but I still love Selena Gomez - Love You Like A Love Song, from September:
The sleaze-tastic Traci Lords - Last Drag, from November:
A song that was shockingly ignored by everyone, Beth Ditto - I Wrote the Book, from February:
For once my taste and that of the great unwashed collided, as Example - Changed the Way You Kiss Me became the big chart-topper of the summer, featured here first in March:
A chart could not really be a chart without at least one from the UK's "great white hope": Adele - Rolling in the Deep, as featured here way back in January:
One of my fave discoveries of the year, The Young Professionals ft Uriel Yekutiel - D.I.S.C.O, from July:
The magnificent Will Young - Jealousy, returned to our arms in style in August:
A song (and an artist) that is indeed very popular round here, Eric Saade - Popular, who wuz robbed at Eurovision in May:
Speaking of "we wuz robbed", our own Euro-contender Blue - I Can, was first revealed here in March:
A close contender, and thus in the Top Three, is Martin Solveig ft Dragonette - Hello, featured here in January:
Snapping at the heels of the top slot is the anthem of our last holiday in Spain: Luciana - I'm Still Hot, which I first played on our return in February but seems to have been around for the whole year (including the infamous Betty White version):
And finally, there has to be a winner, and so at Number 1 is (of course) the irresistible Sak Noel - Loca People, which first featured here in September, and has been buzzing round our eardrums ever since:
There will be plenty of omissions, and songs that have completely slipped the memory no doubt, but that is the nature of any Top Twenty.
However, as always, enjoy!!

D, delirious
This Friday is a good Friday. It's payday (pour moi!), its a Bank Holiday weekend, and I just got confirmed in the job I applied for in the restructure of our department at work!
To celebrate, I think feathers and a green jump-suit must be the outfit du jour, as the fabulously silly Ottawan provide the soundtrack - Thank Disco It's Friday!
Have a good long weekend!

Popalicious
Once again it's time for a cosmopolitan selection of recent(ish) music that I think is worth blogging about...
Let's start off in Neath in South Wales (a very good place to start - especially if you are seeing it in the rear view mirror!), with Bright Light, Bright Light and the magnificent Disco Moment. I love this, it's 'arf tidy!
Off to South Africa we go next, for a most wonderful video for the new single by Locnville, Stars Above You - hypnotic stuff. Oh, and they're twins, and they're gorgeous - what's not to like?
The Young Professionals hail from Israel, and are fronted by out-gay local superstar Ivri Lider. This is their first single - their interpretation of Ottowan's D.I.S.C.O., in their own special way, supported by Israeli demi-drag goddess Uriel Yekutiel - and it's rather superb...
Just before Pride it was Canada Day which was celebrated in Trafalgar Square, and in a nod to our biggest Dominion, here are a couple of new discoveries from Toronto. First, the rather fabby Austra with a remix of their new single Spellwork:
...and here's the Bowie-wannabee Diamond Rings with Something Else:
To finish, we go from the slightly-serious to the downright kitsch. This is nothing new (in fact it hails from 1998!), but it's new to Dolores Delargo Towers. Thanks once again to the lovely Henry over at Barbarella's Galaxy - here, with a blatantly tacky rip-off of Boogie Oogie Oogie, is Pure Sugar with Delicious. How gay can you get?!
Enjoy!
