In This Week's Playlist :-

 

 

Summer is upon us here in Oz my northern hemisphere Shirleyphiles and yours truly is starting to go a little ga-ga ( or should that be go-go ?) from the heat. Indeed, this weeks show is testament to my present condition. I've been dipping into the musical wunderkammer of the obscure and fascinating between frequent Evian face sprays, banana dacquiris and climbing a step ladder...very carefully mind you, to clean my ceiling fans. So this week's show ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous but always....thoroughly engaging and worthwhile....trust me

We kick off with Miss Piggy and Ozzy Osborne, the discerning Shirleyphile's Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta "duetting" to Born to be Wild, Napolean XIV being taken away to the funny farm, the jaw droppingly awful but wonderous Wiggins Sisters aka The Shaggs (pictured left). Frank Zappa declared these gals "better than The Beatles". Make up your own minds....la Shirl is certainly convinced! David Bowie with the novelty knees up, "The Laughing Gnome", Charlie Drake being very un-PC with a troublesome boomerang, Shooby Taylor scatting like a wildthing on hot coals, Louis Nye being a Teenage Beatnik, one of Shirls and mr Kenneth's most favourite of musical legends, the incomparable Tiny Tim serenading his little friends On the Good Ship Lollipop while The Legendary Stardust Cowboy is standing in a trashcan, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band are declaring their Urban Spaceman status and everyone's least favourite urban Star Trekker, William Shatner treats Mr. Tambourine as only he can. Never has a surname seemed soooooo appropriate....You have been warned...lol...

 

So Shirleyphiles fix yourself something long and fruity....top it off off with a brolly and join me while we dig deep into the curiousity cabinet for this weeks half hour of low-fi lovliness. Heavens, we just might find that fetching fur covered two-piece polka dot bathing costume I've been looking for all my life! I'm game if you are....Last one in's a (insert your personal preference here)....till next time...play fair and take *maximum care*

*smooches* Shirley
