The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers


Recommended Posts

It's Valentine's weekend so time to get out some of the very best slow dance lovers tracks from deep within the soul vault.


Kashif, "Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart"




Randy Brown, "The Next Best Thing To Being There"




Teddy Pendegrass, "Come Go with Me"


 

Storm Eunice hits London and so far it's not looking too bad.


But here we go with the next Going home for the Weekend tune, it's one heck of a a banger of a track, thanks Stretch for sharing this one with me.


Double Exposure, "Everyman (Has To Carry His Own Weight"


 

So another pair of two from two "Going home for the weekend" tunes. The first funnily enough popped up on my You Tube screen and what a track it is, taken from the 1973 album Black Byrd, by Donald Byrd, Sit back and enjoy this one, it's so good actually set it on repeat.


"Where Are We Going?"




And then another track from the ever reliable Bobby Womack with, "Across 110th Street". Two wonderful tracks that go all the way back to 1972 and 73. That's when they produced real music.


 

So it's the early hours of Friday morning and I've been down the vaults pulling some more "Going home for the weekend" tracks. First of two bangers from Diana Ross and 40+ years since it was released, "I'm coming out", what a vocal, WoW.




That's followed closely by the 1979 release of "The boss", both tracks still sound so fresh today.


 

Another weekend is just around the corner, so it's time for some "going home for the weekend" tunes.


From all the way back to 1983, The Funkmasters, "Its Over"




And then even further back to 1979, this time it's a Roy Ayres tune, "Don't stop the feeling"

    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa. 
    • How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.
    • Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
