I've got a feeling for the dancefloor, cos they're playing my favourite song
It's Friday! It's 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'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 were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
The Holloways - Generator [link expired]
Yes, the sun is shining. And what does that cause? Exactly. Mild outbreaks of boogying.
NME is carrying the story that The Holloways are splitting up. Which, I strongly suspect, is news that will be received with near-universal indifference. They've been going for 7 years, and in that time they've released two albums. The first, So This Is Great Britain? is the usual mixture of songs covering nights out, half-baked politics and girls. It's chirpy, cheerful, a bit juvenile and almost entirely forgettable.
The second album, released three years later in 2009... well, to be honest, even I couldn't muster enough interest to bother with it. Maybe it's fabulous.
However, in among them whinging that they "don't have no money" they did the slice of ridiculously upbeat, cheerful summer genius which is Generator. It's worth buying the Britannia-bashing isn't-England-rubbish So This Is Great Britain? purely for that one song alone. I encourage you to do so.
Or, if you do eMusic, you can buy just the song. I imagine other such digital music emporia might offer similar opportunities.
Either way, better get a generator ;)

The video with the old folks home for depressed clowns is rather good if you can find it.

Never seen the video before, off to watch now...

I have to admit though, they had not really impinged on me in a more general sense.
