ventaIt'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 a tune which makes me smile, and which has 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.
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.
This link will expire at some point in the future.
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
The Front Lawn - When You Come Back Home
Only a very gentle boogie today, because I'm still feeling a little pummelled from having a very short night on Wednesday courtesy of British Airways. I'm not blaming BA, by the way, I understand it's an occupational hazard of transAtlantic flying.
So, close your eyes and play this track quietly, ok ?
Some time ago, I wrote on here about my delight at finally acquiring albums by defunct New Zealand band The Front Lawn. Songs From The Front Lawn is still one of my top records of all time, and you really should own a copy.
Sadly, it's nearly impossible to buy in the UK, although the mail order site linked above is pretty good.
Incidentally, after The Front Lawn split up, the main songwriter and some of the leftovers formed themselves into a band callde The Mutton Birds, and their albums are sometimes findable here. Grab a copy of their early best-of (Nature) for an eclectic collection of melodies, big choruses, melancholy and downright weirdness.
