Sweet Monday Melodies
Ah, the 70′s. A decade that was, in it’s own right turbulent. Even after a post-apocalyptic British Invasion of the 60′s, popular music was wrestling with disco. Some of the 60′s legends rolled with it (Sir Elton), others ignored it (Rolling Stones), some rode the wave (The Beegees).
Other musical mainstreams weren’t really sure how to attack it. Perhaps a bit of the old school with a twist of disco? At the same time there was this thing called punk that was slowly getting angry and archaic.
The Spinners were off the Motown production line. Detroit based, these guys had, in various form been around since the late 50′s. Man the stories they could tell….
This wee ditty is called Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me, Girl. It is an example of classic Motown lead and harmonies, but with the disco fusion (not to mention some very classy suits). The video was taken from an appearance on Soul Train. How awesome is that?! Anyway, happy Monday. Good luck trying not to bop to this you crazy cats.
The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

TweetShareEmailSharebar TweetShareEmailI love Big Brother. Amy Childs keeps me entertained. Easily not the sharpest tool in the shed, this Essex girl (apparently this explains a lot) keeps my interest levels err, up. She’s a beautician (not that I’m judging), but when your house mates dress you as Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, it’s not…

TweetShareEmailSharebar TweetShareEmailHands up who has been burned by a woman? Yeah, I’ve been there. I was in a blissful wonderland of zen, completeness. This translated into real life of having the freedom of a girlfriend at home, whilst partying with the boys. I can go on record to say I have never cheated, but hands…

With a name like that, she was always going to b a page 3 tabloid girl. Abi was at the peak of her powers in the mid 2000′s appearing in all the classy publications like FHM, Nuts, Loaded after…

TweetShareEmailSharebar TweetShareEmailI’m going to start with a disclaimer: What happened in Christchurch was an absolute tragedy. There is no denying that this disaster will go down in as a defining moment in NZ’s short history. What has been pleasing to see is the Kiwi spirit emerging from the rubble and through the whole country. People…

Following is their most popular hit You to Me Are Everything being performed live on…

TweetShareEmailSharebar TweetShareEmailHaving too much time on my hands makes me do two things: 1. Wank (out of shear boredom). 2. Think too much. Interestingly it is the later that gets me in more trouble. Pondering life is a bit of a hobby of mine. I am not a proficient as some of the other guys…
