ventaIt'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.

Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
The Dresden Dolls - My Alcoholic Friends [link expired]
LJ's a bit quiet these days, isn't it? And what livens up quiet things? Exactly. Boogying. At one's desk. We've not done much of that in ages.
Anyway, I was about to start writing that the Dresden Dolls were, but it seems that they still are, and have even been gigging a tiny amount this year. OK, so they are a duo of Amanda Palmer playing piano and singing, and Brian Viglione playing the drums. And I'm a sucker for anything which has a piano in it and doesn't sound like Coldplay.
My Alcoholic Friends is from their second album, and is fairly gentle by their standards - for a start, you don't worry if the piano and the drums will survive the song. But, after all, we've not been doing so much Boogying of late and I'm worried you might all be rusty, I thought we'd better have a slow start.
I wholeheartedly recommend both the first album, The Dresden Dolls, and the second, Yes, Virginia. The first is a bit more crashy and batshit (try Girl Anachronism for an example), the second is a little more lyrical and more like Amanda Palmer's solo stuff. Amanda Palmer's first album is well worth owning, too. And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snow_leopard tells me the recent one is good. I haven't got round to buying it yet.
However, I do commend to you the lead single from the recent album, Want It Back, firstly because it's a pretty good song, but secondly because of the amazing stop-motion animation in the video. The video is very much NSFW, due to extremely naked Amanda Palmer in it: Want It Back (NSFW).
