I say dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, woohoo
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 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:
Violent Femmes - I Held Her In My Arms
Most of why I'd recommend the Violent Femmes can be deduced from the post I wrote a year ago after seeing them live.
Having said that, I was already a big fan of them from listening to a couple of CDs of theirs (initially pirate copies, I now own originals). Their debut album is very fine, but as an introduction I think I'd recommend the best-of, Add It Up.
The only Violent Femmes song anyone ever knows is Blister In The Sun, which is a grave shame. While it's a pretty good song, it's a pity that it's the only one you ever hear. I mean, it doesn't even have saxophones in it, never mind glockenspiel-wank. Nice bassline, though.
I'm not sure I Held Her In My Arms is really the song to start with, to be honest. I'm not sure it's representative. But it does have me Boogying At My Desk on a regular basis. So, er, why don't you Boogie to it too, then pop out and acquire a CD or two. Go on, you won't regret it.

I take isue that people only know 'Blister In The Sun' the alt disco in Preston only plays 'Add It Up', all the alt.country comps use 'Country Death Song' and we danced to 'Kiss Off' at my cousin's wedding as described here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/pigeonhed/7544.html#cutid6
Oh and in an early draft of Paul Williams' Rock'n'Roll The 100 Best Singles he included 'Gimme The Car' though it dropped out of the final list to be replaced by 'Another Girl Another Planet'.
Hopefully i will be there to see them in Feb (if not London, maybe Dublin.) Who else is up for it?

i saw them play when i was about 16, with my best friend & it was by far & away the best gig i can remember going to during my teenage years [& there were plenty!]. the muttonbirds opened for them so everyone was already all hyped up on horns & there was dancing dancing dancing all night long.
