if anybody's in a party mood this is fantastic:
Glitterbox Radio Show 453: New Years Special
only about 45 minutes in so far, but a wonderful selection of house, disco, soul, funk
had some Jocelyn, Loleatta, bit of Bobby Womack, Pointer Sisters, loving it
Melvo Baptiste probably my favourite dj of the year, great selection to end on

Manchmal muss man nur ein paar Jahrzehnte und auf die passende Konstellation warten, bis man als Musiker etwas covern darf, was man schon immer gerne mal spielen wollte: Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited

Ok, unsere Besetzung wird sich näher an der ursprünglichen Version bewegen. 😀

40 years ago this week was pretty quiet, so I'm posting some highlights of 1984. My favourite song was "Thriller" by #MichaelJackson. Honorable mentions to "Like a Virgin", "Karma Chameleon", and "Jump" (both the #VanHalen song and the #PointerSisters song). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

Various Artists, A Very Special Christmas, 1987 on A&M
Long before Maria’s “All I Want For Christmas” came this wonderful compilation to benefit Special Olympics International with a whos-who of mid-late 80s artists covering holiday songs:
- The Pointer Sisters – Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
- Eurythmics – Winter Wonderland
- Whitney Houston – Do You Hear What I Hear
- Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band – Merry Christmas Baby
- The Pretenders – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
- John Cougar Mellencamp – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
- Sting – Gabriel’s Message
- Run-DMC – Christmas in Hollis
- U2 – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
- Madonna – Santa Baby
- Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band – The Little Drummer Boy
- Bryan Adams – Run Rudolph Run
- Bon Jovi – Back Door Santa
- Alison Moyet – The Coventry Carol
- Stevie Nicks – Silent Night
This is holiday music I can get behind – though Christmas in Hollis does have a certain earworm quality I still love it. Artwork by Keith Haring, of course.
My copy via Beverly Coin & Jewelry. Different versions exist with black vs gold lettering on the cover, and with green/red on different side labels.

We gotta take care
of all the children
The little children of the 🌍
Cuz they're our strongest hope
for the future
The little bitty boys & girls
We got to make this land
a better land
Than the world in which we live
We gotta help each man
be a better man
With the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well
we can work it out
Oh yes, we can
I know we can can
Yes we can can
Why can't we?
If we wanna
Yes we can can

Now, that the #champagne has popped (thanks, Don), I would like to turn this up a notch.
Seeing #Hillary cracking up is nice, but we need a #MusicVideo to commemorate this day. 41 more #indictments!
Maybe some #AI bros can help out?
I suggest transforming
🎙I'm so excited🎵🎶 by the #PointerSisters to #ImSoIndicted.
Possibly even morphing in #DonaldTrump, maybe the #TrumpCrimeFamily as supporting actors?Keep 'em coming!

Hey, Trump!
Cheer up, Cheeto Jesus, you’ve inspired a timely take on a Pointer Sisters classic:🎼I’ve been indicted,
And I just can’t fight it;
I’m about to lose my shit;
My Depends can’t hide it!Lady Justice is going to kick your insurrectionist ass. Next, you’ll be…
🎼 “Singing in the Arraignment!” ☔️
