Does my bum look big in this..?
Another long, drawn out week of dealing with trivia and absolute idiots is almost over. To quote Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It, and dedicated to this week: “Yeah, yeah. Andy Murray, Andy Pandy, fucking Ghandi, have a hand-shandy, whatever, just FUCK OFF out of my life!”
Now, breathe...
It is, after all, the day we look forward to (or at least dream about) getting in a party mood - and what better way to do so than with a proper Funk-fest?!
Sharing the day with another wildly disparate assemblage of "names", such as Jo Stafford, Grace Kelly, Sun Yat-sen, Les McKeown, Anne Hathaway, Booker T, Lucia Popp, Mariella Frostrup, Neil Young, Megan Mullally, Brian Hyland, Ryan Gosling, Nadia Comăneci (who is 60), Alexander Borodin, Tonya Harding, and - erm - Charles Manson, it would have been one of the masters of Funking, my eternal "secret teenage crush", the late, great Errol Brown's birthday today!
To herald in the impending weekend, let's have a portion [I wish!] of the great man and his incredible performing trousers - and Thank Disco It's Friday!
I never tire of it...
Have a great weekend, dear reader!
Footnote:
If you need your party a bit more "ramped-up", however...
This week, we lost two great contributors to the rich tapestry of "party music" - founder-member of UB40 Astro and Andrew Barker of 808 State. So, by way of a tribute, how about the "meeting of true minds" that was this techno oddity?!
Wickid!
