Now playing the new Grimes album, Visions. It's like an edgier version of Goldfrapp - early Goldfrapp, but with more of a beat and less of the weird noises. I like it lots.
"Night Boat To Cairo" is one of those songs that you can't resist dancing to. If you're a bloke.
At uni, a few mates and I started the "Two Tone Society", which was really just an excuse to hold regular nights in the bar where we played all our favourite records - and fritter union funds on old stuff from Prince Buster and the like at record fairs.
Night Boat To Cairo was always a guaranteed floor filler. We had a regular crowd who when it got to the slow bit, always ended up on their backs on the floor, wiggling arms and legs in the air, before leaping up and pogoing around like loons for the finale.
Booker T's Soul Limbo was another favourite.
Ah, happy days...
