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"

    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
