And I guess this is the second best hey.

I got real excited dancing to this song once last year. I couldn’t remember having heard it before. Maybe it was just the drugs, maybe it was a different mix, but it seemed to go on a lot longer. The bass was real loud. Definitely best ABBA song.

Cover of that song from Top Gun.

Song doesn’t really show it, but she has a nice breathy, Akina Nakamori-like voice.

I also like her song Cha-Cha-Cha, off the same album.

Not big on all the talking, but the band is really good.

Not sure why this was in the tab next door, but it’s a good member of the phone-number-song genre.

Dunno how I got here, but this as in a tab I’ve had open for months.

On the current listen it was really bugging me I couldn’t figure out what it reminded me of. Those bass and twangy electric piano sounds. Clicking on other things realised I’d heard his song Holiday Action a bunch of times on the Doing It In Lagos compilation.

There was also a Nick Cave version of Cosmic Dancer playing when the documentary subject was close to passing away. Devastating, but such a great fit for a person who seemed to have such a full life of good and bad. It’s stuck with me all day.

Picked this live version with Warren Ellis to share. I used to listen to The Bad Seeds and Dirty Three a lot when I was in my 20s. It’s nice to connect with something by them both again.

Never gave T-Rex much time before, but what a lyric.

Was a good doco on SBS last night called The Cleaning Company, about a trauma cleaning business and its owner.

There was a conversation with one of the regular clients and they mentioned they had a band and played a little bit of a song.

Odd Bods? The Odd Bods? Oddbods Band?
