It's Christmas again

Yes it is. So part of this post is about terrible Christmas music (or Xxxmas music) and part of it is about Lapland. Well, Finland, really, but I like to pretend that it was relevant.

More Village People

Zomg. So. I have heard a few people in recent years expressing the opinion that the Village People weren't meant to be a gay band at all. To those people, I give you this song. It actually made me tear up slightly. I might just post about the Village People from now on.

Sodom and Gomorrah

Hey guys, it's been a while... I'm sorry I've neglected you. I'll just put "Sodom and Gomorrah" by the Village People here. It's the most fabulous rendition of a Biblical/Torah story that *I've* ever heard.

Funky Covers

I have a passion for disco. I have a passion for anything danceable, and I love sequins, so it all pretty much follows. I also, now, have a passion for funk. I mean, I have liked Jamiroquai for years, and my childhood in Ohio was great for its choice of oldies radio stations and the fact that we actually *listened* to them back then. Sorry if I just stepped on anyone's toes with that Jamiroquai statement. But anyway, a friend of mine and I recently did some serious dancing at a local club night when I heard something that stopped me in my tracks: a funk cover of Star Wars. And I was in love.

You Could Have Been So Much Better

Ok, forget I ever said anything good about Billy Ray Cyrus.

Blender's Bottom 50, Part 2

Right, so, continuing from the last Bottom 50...

Blender's Bottom 50, Part 1

Blender magazine, which from 1994 to 2009 reviewed thousands of artists, started out as the first digital CD-based magazine. It claimed to be "the ultimate guide to music and more". So clearly I had to pay attention to their list of 50 worst songs, having come across them while looking up "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel. It was stuck in my head, ok.

I'm not going to go through the entire list here (you can find it by following this link) but I will post the ones I consider to be most on target and also the ones I don't.

You may not agree, of course.
