It's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!

Friday afternoons need a little something. I think they need a Top Tune. Something to make you shuffle in your seat and, if possible, Boogie At Your Desk. I'll be endeavouring to fill this gap some Fridays this year.

I'm not claiming that any track provided to enable At-Desk Boogying is one of the world's best or most profound pieces of music. It will, however, be one of the tunes which make me smile, and which have at some stage made me surreptitiously Boogie At My Desk.

Desks are not compulsory, of course. Feel free to boogie through your office, in your bedroom, round your lab, across your classroom, on the train - wherever you find yourself on a Friday afternoon.

The link will expire when I leave work this evening. If you like the track, go out and buy the album it belongs to - I'll try and recommend a suitable CD to purchase for any BAYD track.

Today, you were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:

Dogs Die in Hot Cats - Godhopping

I very much recommend the album from which it comes, Please Describe Yourself, as a half hour slice of lightweight, easily-digestible indie pop. It won't change your life, but it might very well make it just a little bit brighter.

Bear in mind that, owing to an unfortunate clerical error, the band tends to get filed as Dogs Die In Hot CaRs in record shops.

Grrr. Not being equipped with headphones or speakers, and possibly not even a sound card, the 'music' that you're subjecting me to is not Dogs Die In Hot Cats, but 'Blame it on the Boogie'. Which is pretty unforgiveable, I'm sure you'll agree.

And for some reason, my supposedly super-fast work connection has slowed to a ridiculous crawl so my attempt to download the track for later enjoyment ain't working either. I clicked the link before I started writing this comment, stopped writing the comment for a bit to have a conversation, and it's still only 16% complete. Damnit.

I just can't, I just can't, I just can't control my feet.

La la la I'm not listening I can't hear you.

<casts around for alternative; alights on last song playing in car this morning>

I met a girl, she was a frog princess...

Singing: "Don't blame it on the LJ, don't blame it on the venta, blame it on the boogie!"

You love a bit of it.

I got exactly the same thing, but hadn't noticed it until the moment you mentioned it.

Aiieee!

Guess it's probably a fault at my end, then :(

Don't know why, downloads from my site are usually at least reasonably timely.

Naw, I haven't attempted the download yet. I just got that annoying song bimbling through my virtual ear canal.

I'm getting 5.1 k per second, which roughly corresponds with a 56k modem. Of course, I don't know how many people are currently downloading it.

Waah :(

Someone's clearly stolen the server I rent space on, and replaced it with a 486 and a dialup modem :(

It's currently downloading at 2.5Kb/sec here. I _should_ get about 220Kb/sec, so it does seem a tad slow.
