Gleek alert

Let me confess:

I am a gleek.

My favourite carol

O Holy Night. Because Christmas makes me fall on my knees. What's yours?

Thematic songs

Sparky loves me singing themed seasonal songs for him. He is under the impression that no day or week is ordinary - there is always something special on. Consequently I am always scratching around trying to 1. decide on what the current theme is 2. find songs for it. We are going on a family beach holiday in a month, so the current rage is holiday songs. So far I have contributed Cliff Richard;s summer holiday (which as a bonus for Scout, the video on youtube featured a bus!). Anyone know any good holiday songs?

whatever became of...90s oz bands

2 posts below I mentioned a crush on a guy from an aussie band in the early 90s - adam tried to identify them but no luck - after I recalled that they had a strange skivvy uniform (not like the wiggles - they had black ones) I managed to find them online - they were called the sharp - see article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sharp. and myspace page http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=230497904

the one I liked was allan catlin.

felt very nostalgic when I saw them, for all those aussie bands that were around in my late teens - early 20s (ah! salad days..) and have now sadly been long forgotten - while if they were american they would probably be playing las vegas now...

so my challenge - anyone want to pay their respects to other such bands "lest we forget?"
