It's Friday! It's about three o'clock not even close to three o'clock but I've been in meetings! 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:

Call Me Up - Standard Fare [link to YouTube because I've yet to work out how to upload an mp3 to my webspace from my phone. Also the mp3 is not even on my phone.]

Last week I had this song as a permanent resident earworm. Even after a few days of intermittently humming it, the line "If you're looking for love, why are you looking in a nightclub?" still made me smile.

Standard Fare were a band I encountered just after they'd split up in 2013, courtesy of zenithed. (I mean I encountered them via him, he didn't split them up. As far as I know.) However, I am working my way through their albums. This comes from Out Of Sight, Out Of Town, which I highly recommend.

I popped along to the delightful Totally Acoustic last night, where former Standard Fare member and indie-pop celebrity Emma Kupa was the headline act. She had a backing band made up of the rest of her new band (Mammoth Penguins) and some extras, and did a variety of songs from both bands' repertoires and some more stuff I didn't know. She's good entertainment value; if she's playing near you, go and see her.

Hurray, Standard Fare! I hope I didn't have any role in breaking them up, though one of my other favourite bands (Shrag) broke up around the same time so maybe it was my fault. I must use this power somehow, perhaps by going to see Mumford and Sons.
