There’s a place in Stockholm called “GoldenHits” and upstairs it has a bar/club area entirely devoted to schlager. An entire bar devoted to Swedish Schlager music. I discovered this with the eclectic James O’Brien a couple of weeks ago when we were in Sweden. To say we had the night of our lives is an [...]
Turn up your radio!
Had a dream about this absolute classic song last night. Don’t know why. But who cares – it’s made me reconnect with this fabtastic song from Australian group Masters Apprentices. I can’t hear this song without wanting to jump up and start dancing as if I’m a 60s go-go dancer! Oh, and dig that crazy [...]
Vodafail The Musical
I have become obsessed with this clip. Maybe because I am a 3 customer and have been living the problems being sent up in the video. Maybe it’s because Lady GaGa’s “Telephone” is so damn catchy. Or maybe it’s just because the guy in the clip is so f*****g hot! This is really inspired stuff. [...]
Israel sends up Eric’s “Popular”!
..and it’s all done in the best POSSIBLE taste of course! I just saw this for the first time and it’s a hoot…especially the “shattered glass” bit. From Youtube “A loving comic tribute to our favorite Eurovision 2011 entry, Sweden’s ‘Popular’ by Eric Saade. Shot April 2011 at the beach in Tel Aviv by a [...]
Eric Saade’s “Gay kiss” – storm in a Swedish teacup!
Since so many people seem to be searching the net to find out if Eric Saade is Gay (and just reiterating, no he’s not – he’s just bought a flat with long time partner Molly Sanden), I thought I’d have another look at footage of the kiss that began it all. The storm in the [...]
Eric Saade’s Popular video: uncensored and uncut
Eric Saade’s Popular video: uncensored and uncut…and possibly a tad too violent. Still, what a song! What a guy!
Ooh dahling that doesn’t rhyme either!!!!!
The fabulous Jeannie Little released a single in the 70s “Dahling, Are You Paying Attention” b/w “Oceania Roll”. A one-off novelty hit and of course I bought the single at the time. I love Jeannie. Thanks to a friend of the family, I went along to see Jeannie in “Jerry’s Girls” at the Footbridge Theatre [...]
Maxine: Case 1352
I received a tweet from Gen Z Gay-schlock comedian, the out-of-control Rhys Nicholson last night. James & I are both convinced Rhys’s future concerns having his body found washed up on a riverbank somewhere or in a hotel room with a needle sticking out of his arm. Thinking about him again this morning, “Maxine” came [...]
Up, up and away with TAA the friendly, friendly way
Oh, I’m on a roll with these TV commercials from my childhood. It seems like every few months someone is adding something new to Youtube from my past that just blows me away. And, of course, I could virtually remember the lyrics word for word even though it’s been decades since I’ve seen the ad. [...]
Amoco in your machine!
I have this as a cardboard 7″ single. Yes I do, I really do. Played havoc with my record player back in the early 70s – the needle used to jump up and down. I’m not sure cardboard was such a good material to make records from. Ah yes, it was called a flexi-disc. I [...]
