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'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:

Mixtapes - I'll Give You A Hint, Yes [link to mp3 download expired, YouTube link may still be active]

Another of my Banquet Records finds: Mixtapes. I can't remember how Banquet described them, but the internet says "Ohio pop-punk". I'd say a Tullycrafted version of Less Than Jake. I'm a sucker for any band with a boy/girl vocal combo :)

I bought Even on the Worst Nights and have been revelling in the sort of bitter, cheery, sad, passionate highschool music that seems to suit the intermittent attempts at summer we're having. If you enjoyed I'll Give You A Hint, Yes you might also like to try Anyways.

It seems Mixtapes have a new album out, too, and you can stream a track from it, should you be so inclined.

I can't answer the retro question, since I've not heard of any of the bands - but I'm now curious to go and have a listen to them, so thank you!

The Descendents are energetically awkward nerd-punk and well worth a go, but I should say if you were going to look up Cable, make sure it's Cable and not Cable. The British ones made clattery indie racket full of incomprehensible lyrics in a bakery in Derby, and their drummer was amazing.
