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 are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:

The Primitives - Crash [link expired]

OK, this is a well-known song that you probably don't need to be introduced to. But I heard it on the radio this morning before I'd even got out of bed, and remembered how much I like it.

I have fond memories of dancing to this, before I even knew what it was, at the Indie Music Society's clubnights at university.

I remember collecting my "new" car (from my parents, it was their old one) and driving south in it by myself. ChrisC had made me a celebratory tape, as my previous car's tapedeck was knackered, and I remember laughing out loud as Crash came on just as the motorway matrix signs flashed up "Slow Down".

Do you know, I can't name a single other Primitives' song. (At least, I can now. I couldn't when I picked the best-of off the shelf this morning to rip it.) But really, you can buy a best-of for bugger all... and Crash is worth a few quid of anyone's money :)
