Under it all I have dancing feet

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'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.
The link to the mp3 will expire at some point in the future.
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to a guest tune from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Infected Mushroom - Never Mind [link to mp3 download expired, YouTube link may still be active]
Bateleur actually suggested several different tracks as suitable for at-desk boogying. Of this one, he said:
"This is the track most likely to make me literally boogie at my actual desk, so it has to make the shortlist."
I listened to it, and thought... what? Who'd boogie to that?
Still the idea of guest BAYD posts was to come up with new and interesting tracks that didn't fit into my usual rut of taste, to I persevered and listen to Army of Mushrooms.
It's what I think of as "programming music". If you ever look at my last.fm profile and find I'm listening to Front Line Assembly, I can pretty much guarantee that I'm churning out code by the bucketful. (FLA doesn't make me write code faster, by the way, it's just the sort of thing I want to listen to when I'm doing so already.)
Anyway. I've been listening to Infected Mushroom, and you know what? It's grown on me. I have been boogying at my desk :) Further listening: check out their cover of The Pretender.

You are very not wrong. For better or worse, I mostly listen to music while I'm working. Almost anything is suitable when I'm doing artwork, but I have rather narrower playlists for coding.

Hurrah! :-D
