More Bowie coming coming later! Since this is Brexit week, I'll do some europop next. Trivia question, which pre-ABBA band sold 5 million records all over Europe in the early '70s, including 11 hits in Germany.

Day #27. Yes, it's "Middle of the Road", the most accurate band name ever! If you're from the US (or under 40) you've probably never heard of them. If you doubt how popular they were (still are in some places), note that this video has 33 million views.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSNSTerj2Kc …

Day #28. To be fair, I still really like this one -- I was singing it out loud today. All the necessary ingredients for europop: a catchy piano riff, a singalong chorus, pop harmonies, obscure lyrics, and thigh high boots.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPPx55UxCUA …

Day #29. My (and the world's) introduction to Abba! When I was a teen Abba was *soooo* naff. I added one of their songs to a mix tape and almost got disowned by my friends :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FsVeMz1F5c …

Day #30. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at just one part of a well-constructed Abba song. A fantastic bass line.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgMj8Pg_yws …

Day #31. Bye bye European friends

Save all your kisses for the UK.
Hope to rejoin again when the next generation comes of age, wins Eurovision, and learns to dance like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhq_Q1Ut8SQ …1 proslijeđeni tweet 5 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -
For February, I feel like posting my favourite 60s and 70s ska, rocksteady, and reggae. It's Black history month in the USA so it's a great time to celebrate the cultural contributions of one part of the diaspora -- the Windrush generation and their kids https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mother-Country-Stories-Windrush-Children/dp/1472261917/ …

And if you're not aware of the "hostile environment" and the appalling treatment of the Windrush generation, don't read this book (or related articles) as you'll get so angry that you'll feel like punching everyone at the Home Office. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Windrush-Betrayal-Exposing-Hostile-Environment/dp/1783351845 …

Day #33. First reggae #1 in the UK and first time I saw reggae on TOTP. I loved this from the moment I first heard it. This one's a slightly different version from 1978.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8twFAOKZwg …
