I shall be dancing around my room to this as I get ready to go out tonight. That’s for sure!

I could do a Hallowe’en one, but frankly I can’t be arsed trying to find a decent “spooky” tune. Instead, have a mini-shimmy to this. It’s a classic :D

Not even Sister Act could ruin it for me.

It makes me remember some of the things that I love most about my city – Deansgate for the shopping (not the slapper bars), the brilliant mix of cultures & the fantastic musical heritage. Very few other cities were half as cool as Manchester for music while I was growing up, except perhaps Seattle.

How cool is that? A steel band doing a spot of Joy Division!

Here’s the original too – a fucking classic! And if you disagree I WILL FIGHT YOU! ;)

Rock out with your… er, yeah, you know what to do… ;)

This time, celebrating the fabulous Northern Soul music that I was brought up listening to.

It’s impossible to not want to dance to this song and yes, I can do the proper dancing thanks to my mum teaching me in the kitchen as a child. Though I tend to stay away from the more flamboyant stuff nowadays, as I’m getting on a bit ;)

So I’ve gone with Gotye & Learnalilgivinanlovin. Cute video too.

Happy Friday everyone – hope the weekend’s a good’un

It will vary enormously depending upon how I’m feeling about the approaching weekend, no doubt.

I’m currently very much looking forward to an uber-chilled, relaxing weekend. I have the house to myself and a plan to mainly just sit on the couch in my PJs this evening, drinking wine & watching TV – bliss. So, this time I bring to you the wonders of St Etienne and a track that reminds me of being very young & desperately longing to be as effortlessly cool as Sarah Cracknell. Needless to say, I have now achieved that… ahem.

Anyway, enjoy  & have a lovely weekend :D
