My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout...

I've been on a bit of a 60's/70's kick the last few days, and have rediscovered the musical experience that is the concept album, amongst other things. I'm going to be posting a few things over the next ... whenever, and hopefully will give those that haven't experienced some of these wonderful bands ( Read more... )

I'm just an old fashioned girl...



Miss Eartha Kitt - nothing more needs to be said really.

(I just resampled and cleaned these up - thought you may enjoy them)

Ciao Ciao!

This song has been on my mind all day, and it's such a lovely naughty subject, and such a well written, produced and performed song that I thought I'd share.

The video is great... It has nothing, I tell you, NOTHING to do with the fact that the rawwwther tasty and talented actor/writer/director/artist  Billy Wirth is in it, and as a bonus, puts one ( Read more... )

I was going to post this on my Australia Day post, but wasn't sure if non Aussies would get the humour in it, but the lovely quaffswinegaily mentioned it in the comments, and asked me to - and it didn't take much persuasion!

A quick background story in this clip:
These boys call themselves The Chooky Dancers, and come from a very small Aboriginal community on Elcho ( Read more... )

I'm going to cross post this to all_for_hook, as it has a nautical flavour, but wanted to share it a bit wider, as I think it's fantastic!

This is one of my favourite sea shanties - a hauling song called South Australia, this version performed by Cornish male singing group Fishermen's Friends, and now my favourite version of all time - they've all worked as ( Read more... )

Poor ratherbesailing did a post about this atrocious Christmas song called The Christmas Shoes - you have my sympathies my dear - it is without a doubt, one of the schmaltziest things I've ever heard - so I thought, if you must listen to bad Christmas music, why not do it properly?
So here's a little bad Christmas music playlist you may at least get a giggle out ( Read more... )

Sorry all, I decided to do the other meme that willowfaerie2 did as well - I wasn't going to post it, but it was so funny I just had to! Set your music to random or shuffle and answer each question as the songs come out:

How does the world see me? : Pageant of the Bizarre - Zero 7

ROFL! Seriously! I can't stop laughing here...

Will I have a happy life? : Lets Get ( Read more... )

Sorry, droxy, it's not Fantasia related, but it's not even remotely Christmas-y, so that's something! It's a song that always makes me smile, by the wonderful Dixie Chicks (my apologies if you're one of the Texans that hates em) - A Girl Power song I love - Goodbye Earl:

Here in Australia, as in most Commonwealth countries, it's Armistice, or Remembance Day - we call it both over here. It's the day, 11th November 1918, at 11am (GMT) when the armistice for World War I came into effect. It's held in memorial of the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Over here, it's also a time to reflect ( Read more... )
