m - pop muzik

This song has got to evoke a reaction from you.  If it's like me then you'll feel elation, then disappointment.  Elated as it brings back good memories and you can't help but still love the catchy chorus.  THEN you watch the video and boy it is really embarrassing, what a state, especially the girl in blue.

XTC - Making Plans for Nigel

How about this one?  If you'd never heard it before would you think it was 30 years old?  Even the video?  Bet for those who remember this song, hearing it again is a blast from the past!!

The Vapors - Turning Japanese

Let me take you back over thirty years to this tune.  What do you think, does it stand the test of time?  Could it play today and still be cool?

Pulp - Common People

Sorry nostalgia has taken over me with this one.  Such a feel good song.  The music makes me smile, the video makes me smile, it just makes me smile.  I dare you to listen again and it not bring a little happiness into your day.  Just looking at Jarvis Cocker is enough to make my life better.  I will post something more contemporary next I promise!

Daft Punk - Around the World

I can't believe I haven't added this tune before now.  The rhythm and beat is spot on.  Yes it's repetitive, but that seems to make it even better.  I have made a number of sound systems cut out because I've had this up too loud.  Daft Punk are as close as we get to a modern day Kraftwerk.   This video is entertaining too, and must have taken a lot of choreography, in fact I did wonder by the jerky movement if they danced to the music at a slower speed, then it was sped up??  Whatever they've done it works for me!

Pure Genius - Putting on the Ritz

You'll have to excuse me for adding a musical number to my blog, but this is genius and Fred Astaire's dancing and routine in this clip are outstanding!!

JCB Song - Nizlopi

Beautiful song and a great video!  Sit there and let it soak in.  Watch the video closely as it follows the song, especially the dad when he see's the different beasties.  I bought their album a couple of years back which I liked, its raw and not over produced.  I was hoping to see them perform but I think they may have disappeared forever now.
