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


Recommended Posts

It's Easter weekend, a good time for some reflection and contemplation, and about time we had a bit of gospel soul, I give to you from this collectors must have album;


Donny Hathaway, Sack Full of Dreams, from the album "In Performance", a collectors vinyl must have.




Donny Hathaway, We Need You Right Now, from the album "In Performance"


 

What a way to get the weekend just around the corner underway with two fab "Going home for the Weekend" tunes, enjoy.


Instant Funk - Crying, a Larry Levan 12" Mix




Gospel BeBe Winans - Thank You (1997) Rare MAW 12" Inch Remix


 

With another Bank Holiday just around the corner, what better way to begin then with two outstandingly great "Going home for the weekend" tracks from the O'Jays, beginning with "I love music"




Swiftly followed on by "My favourite person",


 

It's Friday again, so it can only mean more "Going home for the weekend" tracks.


First up is a remix of Brass Construction's Movin by Djinji Brown




Followed swiftly by Marcus Miller from the Tutu Revisited LP (Live) featuring the superb Christian Scott, Hannibal. An absolutely stonking jazz track.


 

So many tunes and so little time to squeeze them all in by closedown, but lets start with two more outstandingly stonking good "Going home for the weekend" tunes from 1973 and 1975 with;


The Intruders, "I'll Always Love My Mama"




Followed swiftly by;


The Trammps, "Trusting Heart"


 

More "Going home for the weekend" tunes.


Beginning with a soulful jazzy track by Jon Lucien, "Would You Believe in Me"




and followed very swiftly with the high energy banger of Stephanie Mills, "You're puttin a rush on me"


 

I saw the Silver and Golden Jubilee's and now here we go with the Platinum Jubilee.


It's a double bank holiday weekend, and I'm feeling it's time to begin pulling some tunes out for the four days of celebrations which are ahead, and funk up your life so what better way to start than with some funky sounds to get you tapping and bopping across the floor. Tune 1, from a bag bursting at the seams;


Chaka Khan "I Know You, I Live You"




Followed by a touch of sweet jazz;


Eddie Russ, "take a look at yourself"

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
