wonder boy birthday

happy birthday to me!

to celebrate, i am posting something guaranteed to make me happy. if you liked the j-pop sound of mordi fave tommy february6 then you may like some k-pop courtesy of the wonder girls.
the song is like 2 of hearts mashed up with whams bad boys - total 80's brilliance!
but it is the audience that really make this clip - they are AMAZING!

p.s. they have recorded an english language version too. listen to it here
it's a great version - shame about the video though!

ever so lonely

she's like a french marianne. you'll love this.
does anyone have any estella blain songs to share?

i choose f.g.

FRANCE GALL - LA QUATRIEME CHOSE
as far as i am aware, this (one of my fave f.g songs) is not featured on any cd, so the quality of this song hasn't been great. in the past i have posted a very crackly version but i think the copy i ripped from vinyl is better.
if anyone wants to have a mess about on this track to improve the quality and remove some of the crackles -please feel free, then send me a copy!
