Candy Slice Group, “Gimme Mick” (Saturday Night Live, Feb 17 1979)

Patti Smith’s music and words are about the closest thing to religion in my life, so it’s with mixed feelings that I give you this excerpt from SNL’s “Rock Against Yeast” skit in which Gilda Radner reprises her Candy Slice character who had appeared first earlier that season, when Patti was at her commercial peak.

The skit takes aim at rock benefit concerts, punk rock culture, rock stardom in general, and here, Patti Smith in particular (with a side of Mick Jagger).

(Video cued to begin at Gilda's segment at 5:32 but it doesn't seem to be behaving when run within Mastodon.)

🇺🇸 Donna Summer "Our Love" – 1979

Written by Summer and Giorgio Moroder and produced by Moroder and Pete Bellotte, the track combines a steady disco pulse with shimmering synthesizers and an almost hypnotic repetition of its central refrain. It is less about the dancefloor than about creating a sensual, romantic atmosphere...

Inspiration for the "Blue Monday" bass drum?

🇬🇧 Nick Straker Band "A Walk in the Park" – 1979

The bright, breezy melody and disco groove suggest pure escapism, but the song was actually born out of frustration. Nick Straker came up with the idea while walking through Battersea Park after an argument with his girlfriend. The 12" version gives the groove even more room to breathe...
