Hotel Nacional - Gloria Estefan
Nope - I have not mis-typed the title, fool!
This it an historic track for Glo in the USA - she's the first female artist to enter the Billboard Latin Chart at Número Uno. There are some other stats/facts about the track, but that'll do for now.
Like the vibe - and fits in well here in Disco Kitchen... you know, 2012 stylee.
It does remind me of Doop's "Doop" from way back in (I think) 1994 - remember that one? It will probably die on it's arse in the UK, but having said that J'Lo did something similar with Lassie/Goldie/Pitbull last year. Perhaps the club mixes will assist it. So, one more time with a bit of nob twiddlin'...
(ooh - sounds a bit like Dana's "Ding Dong", doesn't it?)
Glorious, Estefan!
:D

Calling International Rescue...
So how is 2012 treating you? I'm back at work tomorrow, so just a quick update.
I'm listening to some groovy choons at the homo - just the tonic to get me motoring on the treadmill tomorrow morning (Monday). Some are fairly old, and some are quite new. This track from Dana International is from Twenty Ten (2012!) and would probably have done better at Eurovision last year. Have a butchers...
Still loving a bit of "Dong", though...
And even better - work that catwalk, girl...
She could have run a comb through her hair!
:D

Cool Yule, from me to you, too...
Happy Holidays, popbloggers!
Here's the teased track listing of "Cool Yule, Too!"
Enjoy my friends - and may all your Christmases be all that you want them to be - and can y'all hatch a plan to bring me a man in the new year?!
:D
Here you go then – an uncharacteristically festive post – it’s never happened before, and I have not been drinking (ahem), so I say let’s just go with it…
Big phillyj christmas hugs to you and yours!

Top of my Christmas pops…
You know what, over the years I have slipped into the Christmas groove by compiling various playlists, CDs, etc. I mentioned a couple of posts ago that back in 2007 I did a compilation called “Cool Yule!”. It had a gaggle of Christmas classics, and was very well received by all who heard it. As I also mentioned, “Cool Yule, Too!” is ready to delight the ears over the next few days. I might do a post of all that stuff after I finish work today.
Another fave playlist/CD/etc. of mine to tickle my tinsel is made up of a batch of songs that were either (predominantly) released around Christmas, or embody Christmas for me in some way. I’ve had this playlist/CD/whatever for * years *. In most years it nibbles my navidads and gets me in the mood. On the rare occasion when I have been approaching Christmas feeling a bit low I have tended to not really listen to it. Gladly, this has not been the case this year! So, dear friends/reader/whatever, here’s a little something to light up Christmas on the popblog…
(in this order, you understand!)

Let's hear it for the girls...
Loving this song. The first time I saw the video on Children In Need it made me blub like a girl. I blame the gin, ahem...
So, I've just downloaded this from iTunes. Did you know that it has been pre-ordered 4 times more on Amazon than Take That's last album. How stunning is that! Surely a sure thing (too many sure's there!) for Chrimbo number 1. I love the melody of the song - and there's a hook in there that we need to identify - it's from somewhere else, so listen now, dear friends, and open your hearts - and your wallets/purses...
Just one small niggle - what about the boys who serve our country who like other boys... it's not all wives for ruddy hell's sake.
*** chill ***
That said - this has some Christmas magic in it, doesn't it...
