Someone needs to open up window in here...and let the groove shake the hips. Let's go Karen!

Those clips are brilliant James. When I was in Melbourne a few weeks ago, CG and I went disco-ing with a few friends and no lie, we were definitely busting a few moves from the 1st clip!!

Favorite 90's - Is it scary that this covers 1/4 of a century.. nah, either giving a history lesson
or bringing back memories Will always promote Aussie artists so kicking off with..



Have said previously that Dookie & Ten are 2 of my fav albums, sorta fitting that the next comes from 1 of those -

It feels like yesterday that I was listening to these hits from the 90's-(was an interesting time in music )

I'd be busting something if I had moves like those, Karen. Especially these days.

OK - let's face it, when all is said and done, 1979 was the year 'Pop' was at its more pure, inventive, heartfelt, erotic and sublime.

Every single week you could have bought a dozen new 7" singles and fallen in love with nearly every one of them.

Just a sample of why 1979 was the year pop freed our souls...Part 1

RIP Errol.

I've died and gone to music heaven. Didn't realise 1979 was THAT good.
Had to check, but this one is also from 1979, and we definitely danced to it on our disco night-

What?

Which bit VC? I came down to Melbourne for a bit of footy and partying, and yes, we went to a very cool disco in the city. One of CG's friends dressed as John Travolta-was hilarious!!
Felt like I was back in the 70's. Was so good.

We're getting very specific here, but believe these two little gems qualify for '79.

I was really young when I first heard both, but instantly loved them. They kinda paved my musical direction.....

A bit of an old 1950's flavour from Queen.

1979: Part 3

The Specials- remind me of an early version of x between Cat Empire and Little Red.

Took me a while to appreciate that TORCHWOOD truly is a spin-off of DOCTORWHO, anagram - wise .

 

[Vdubs]

Not really a theme, but the closing songs of some movies....

From the simple to the eerie

and eerier

and nearly my favourite

Before 1979 disappears, my favourite song/band from that time;


Will have a think about movie closing songs.
Going out to treat Mum to a well deserved lunch now.

Quite like this as an end song to 'Full Metal Jacket';

 

[manboob]

Such a great ending to that movie.

 

[cats23]

I love the closing song to Fight Club (by The Pixies), it just fits so well in the context of the movie...

 

[karencatsfan]

I've been trying to think of an end song all day, and finally, one that I has come to me!!!-

 

[johncat]

There's Something About Mary is definitely a ''guilty pleasures'' movie of mine. Still watch it every now and then, still gives me a laugh (perhaps it's a case of simple things amusing my simple mind).

And CG, it had to be The Pixies to finish off Fight Club, stellar choice.

Here's ''Surf Rider'', which I think is a fitting tune for Pulp Fiction to end with.....

 

[Vdubs]

Pleasantville.
Beautiful movie and great final song.

Almost my favourite Beatles song.
