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 were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Allo Darlin' - Capricornia [mp3 download expired, YouTube link may still be active]
Something rather gentler today, suitably for boogying quietly while looking out at the early summer sunshine. While it lasts :)
I met Allo Darlin' at an all-day gig at the 100 Club a few years back (the line-up was basically "loads of bands I don't know, plus Ballboy headlining"). Allo Darlin' turned up looking very French in stripey t-shirts. In fact, I seem to remember they were French, but Wikipedia says they're from London.
I downloaded a few tracks, and more or less forgot about them until the Rough Trade Album Club popped their new album through my door last year. It's called Europe (they really do want me to think they're French) and is a very pleasant slice of pretty, twee indie pop.
And it's got windmills on the cover. I like windmills.
