Dance Triple

A weekend without a trio of music videos would be, well, pretty typical for most weekends. But occasionally I remember. And today I also remembered first starting to appreciate dance music. Appreciate may be too big a word. Tolerate is better. I’d always been one of those “agh, that’s not real music” sorts of people but things started to change when I got my first NoiseTracker program for the Amiga and realised that I too could produce music that was repetitive and not very good. That’s the sort of thing that makes you start to defend the tripe that appeared on TV in and charts. And copy it when possible. Copy, and improve. Only replace “improve” with that word that means the opposite of “improve”. I’m waffling when I could be putting up three music videos from that golden age of dance music: the early 1990s. Nightcrawlers – Push The Feeling On I had a bit of a thing for the redhead. I’m sure I wasn’t alone. Livin’ Joy – Dreamer Bomb The Bass – Bug Powder...

Disco Triple

One of my favourite types of music and I haven’t updated the site with a random trio of videos celebrating the genre? Why, that’s the sort of thing that needs to be addressed right now! Sylvester – You Make Me Feel Mighty Real (with a few seconds of Patrick Hernandez at the start) Andrea True Connection – More, More, More The Trammps – Disco...

Sex And Inappropriate Movies

Just recently there was a thread on FriendFeed (I won’t link to it because everyone knows that FriendFeed is dead and all the people on it therefore must be ghosts who couldn’t possibly benefit from such an action) that asked people to describe their sex lives in the form of movie titles; it probably came from somewhere else as these things roam the internet and crop up hither and thither when boredom takes a stand. I tried to think of a few titles that could apply – not to me, because I’m indescribable – and realised quite quickly that I didn’t want to share any of them on a social network where anyone could simply see them as all the ones I was coming up with were a little inappropriate. I’d hate for people to think I’m a weirdo. Far better to post them here where they’re guaranteed a little privacy.

Death Metal Triple

So, here are my thought processes: I should update the site with something. It’s the weekend; I should update the site with a trio of music videos. I need to think of a topic. Death metal! Why did I just think of death metal? Ah, who cares? I’ll do a trio of death metal music videos. I don’t know any death metal bands (*). Hello Wikipedia! The Amenta – Vermin Obituary – The End Complete Krisiun – Murderer (*) Not strictly true. I own one of the albums from one of the bands featured here. And I like...

Gerry Rafferty Triple

This line of text – the one you’re reading right now – would be the one explaining my reasoning for putting up three videos of Gerry Rafferty if I had any such reasoning. But I don’t. I might also typically say something about how poor I am at updating the site and I might make a promise to be better from now on but I can’t be bothered so I won’t. Anyway: Gerry Rafferty. Everyone likes Gerry Rafferty. Night Owl Days Gone Down...

Summer Music Triple

It’s hot. Summer has appeared from out of nowhere and made everything sticky. Everything. I’m saying that you should probably keep a good couple of feet away from me. I’m not a fan of the heat but it has at least given me a decent subject for this weekend’s video trio. Ella Fitzgerald – Summertime Heatwave – Always And Forever Pamala Stanley – This Is...
