robbie robertson - coyote dance

.....Had to find out about this cd for a project for work. Anyone enjoy music to drive to???beeyoutiful album...from 1994. Cant remember it at the time, so it's a new joy for moi :)

Helloooo Azerbaijan!

....on the downside: Engelbert didn't do that well either in Europe or in the informal Australian vote Jedward didn't win! What's wrong with this world? Our friends cancelled at the last moment, leaving husband and I to drink our mulled wine and cheer the Eurocheese alone Terry Wogan is a permanent thing of the past There were a hell of a lot of ballads. And what was with all of the acts dressed in tasteful black? On the upside: We had a lot of mulled wine We got to watch Engelbert Humperdinck. That dude is all class. He was almost channeling and ancient Johnny Cash (almost) Julia Zemiro and her pal Timmy are splendid commentators, even if they ain't Wogan The Swedish lass who won was great and we look forward to suddenly inheriting a fortune from a relative we didn't know we had so that we can go to Eurovision in Sweden next year. I loved Germany and hubby hated him I love Jedward. They deserve a special award for being what Eurovision is all about. God bless the Babushkisxxx

friday amusant :D

Wiggly Calamity!

Mightnt mean much to those of us without toddlers, but THREE Wiggles are leaving. I feel quite upset. If they'd just waited another cuppla years, I would have been smiling wistfully and saying 'ah well, no wonder, Jeff's had heart surgery, Murray's been doing this forever, is Greg really well enough for all of that touring?' As it is, I'm just going to have to scrounge tix for my 2 1/2 year old to their last shows in Nov/Dec and say farewell to the whole era. Because I'm danged if I'm interested in going through the whole thing again with three new Wiggles, even if one of them's female. How could they. My kid's still telling anyone who'll listen that 'Murray did hi five', eg Murray gave him a hi five at the last concert. I'll say Murray's doing a Hi Five. I just dont feel that the Wiggles are going to become as interchangeable as the Hi Five clones & I dont think any of them are going to do a lingerie spread for Ralph (although you never know...)I honestly cant see people sustaining interest in this group now. It was always about the personalities.

On Old Dancing Dinosaurs: Moves Like Jagger (Explicit)

....Kelly Preston, Mick Jagger...whats the story with this Adam Levine and the older generation?

On Cougars: Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved

just for the sheer joy of an eddie uke number

good movie, but the book is beeeeeettttteeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  actually the book is one of those rare beasts that deserve to be called profound. 

dancing cougars

is it moi, or does the sight of a group of 40/50 something women doing their best 'sexy dance', clunkily and after the fashion of the infrequent hoofer, to the sharp sounds ever-so-young electro bob hover somewhere betwixt darkest nightmare and high comedy? 

or am I horribly cynical and judgemental?  or just mental?

I think that I am going to die!

I have no idea what the hell I was thinking when I said that I could do it, but I signed myself up for a Perth based fun run that starts in 2 weeks. It is only now that my shirt and runner id number has arrived that I suddenly realised that I have no trained for this event.

I think that I am going to DIE!

The only bonus is that I have a few work colleagues attempting this with me, so if I die, they are likely to die too.

While I am running this 4kms I am also raising money for the heart foundation too. Maybe this is because I think that I might need the assistance of a Defib should I die along the way.

Wish me luck and let’s hope that I survive.

Cant belive I forgot this dude! eccentric, sexy 80s....The Cure - The Lovecats

Sigh....The Police - Dont Stand So Close To Me

Just for the wicked guitar intro...When Doves Cry - Prince (With Lyrics) [HQ]

Hes so hot. How did I miss his concert...

Songs I Would Like Anne Miller to Dance to: Prince - Little Red Corvette - lyrics / HD

I maintain this is one of the best musicals ever. well, its the coolest :p

Too Darn Hot...Anne Miller was Wild Child...

you asked for it, you got it. more grown up stuff from the naughty decade.

go back a decade and no laxative needed

 I dunno what happened to humanity in the 50's.  everyone went all puritanical and childlike.  just check out the diff betwixt this glorious piece of very grown up saucy cheek from Anne Miller in the previous decade, compared to that fluff from Pajama Game.  no wonder 50's frocks give me hives :D

and if you thought that was cheery, try this. then take a laxative :D

friday cheer courtesy of bob fosse and the brilliant carol haney

Yep. Tea, white, 2 sugars, have a banana. Most honest political interview in years.

The Voice Weekly Rant

Is it the new format? Am I just a ham? Tick both boxes? I'm finding there are moments when I actually feel moved by this show. After all of those years of de sensitization courtesy of Idol and whatever that one on seven was (forgotten already...X Factor? Yes, X Factor). Battle rounds this week and I'm torn. I just adore listening to people work together beautifully with music. I cant stand the competition element being highlighted the way it is (that'd be due to my day job...not a lot of fierce music therapists out there waiting to tear singers to pieces..)some of those singers are dueting like angels and the last thing we should all be doing is discussing which one's the winner and which one gets kicked off. But that is obviously just me, because the format is soooo popular. Honeymoon was nearly over for me when Joelsie listened to his dick instead of his brother and chose Prinnie Hot Pants over Mahalia Barnes and her awesome sound. What the hey. Also began to feel a leetle disgruntled about the number of singers paired with younger, perkier versions of themselves, who were duly sacrificed on the altar of youth and/or looks. I'm thinking bye bye Cam Tapp, so long Chris Hazelwood. Then Delta uppped and chose the gorgeous, older Danni de Ross over a blond spunky lass called Sarah Lloyde, and Keith! Keith! Chose old pub hack JIMMY CUPPLES over a younger soulful Glen Whitehall! Very excited to see that the Secret Siblinghood of Musicians in Australia extends to famous folk like Delta and Keef. Choices being made for reasons other than recording company shiite. Brought a tear to my eye to see older musos being given a go. Only too happy to see Delta favouring her backing vocalist Glen Cunningham; if networking cant work for you in a comp like this, then whats it for, for chrissakes. Looking at you, Joelsie Madden remember networkign with the Barnes family? Very cross with you about Mahalia. NO ONE is going to buy music from Prinnie Hotpants. Mahalia could have won it for you. Idiot. I do like your eyeliner, tho. Reminds me of the Uncanny X Men. That is all.
