Mrs Swiss is off to a 70s night tonight- a fundraiser for Pictor Special School, the special needs Primary school our son I.T. used to go to. And it's an opportunity for her to see her friends and have a dance.
But it made me think- it'd be fun to book a venue, publicise a 70s night, wait for everyone to arrive in their Afro wigs and fancy dress shop polyester flares and then give them a different version of the 70s- Neil Young, various versions of Bowie, some heavy 70s reggae, some Lee Scratch Perry, a dollop of dub, some Clash, Pistols, Buzzcocks, Siouxsie, X-Ray Spex, Bunnymen, Joy Division, some obscure early Factory bands, some scratchy post-punk, a few bits of Postcard, krautrock, Kraftwerk... I could always play I Feel Love as a crowd pleaser at the end and then send them on their way with Lou Reed's Goodnight Ladies (from Transformer). Although there might be just me left by that point.
Anyway, enough- on with the rockabilly, this week from Billie J. Killen.
It Makes No Difference
