The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers


Recommended Posts

It's Valentine's weekend so time to get out some of the very best slow dance lovers tracks from deep within the soul vault.


Kashif, "Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart"




Randy Brown, "The Next Best Thing To Being There"




Teddy Pendegrass, "Come Go with Me"


 

Storm Eunice hits London and so far it's not looking too bad.


But here we go with the next Going home for the Weekend tune, it's one heck of a a banger of a track, thanks Stretch for sharing this one with me.


Double Exposure, "Everyman (Has To Carry His Own Weight"


 

So another pair of two from two "Going home for the weekend" tunes. The first funnily enough popped up on my You Tube screen and what a track it is, taken from the 1973 album Black Byrd, by Donald Byrd, Sit back and enjoy this one, it's so good actually set it on repeat.


"Where Are We Going?"




And then another track from the ever reliable Bobby Womack with, "Across 110th Street". Two wonderful tracks that go all the way back to 1972 and 73. That's when they produced real music.


 

So it's the early hours of Friday morning and I've been down the vaults pulling some more "Going home for the weekend" tracks. First of two bangers from Diana Ross and 40+ years since it was released, "I'm coming out", what a vocal, WoW.




That's followed closely by the 1979 release of "The boss", both tracks still sound so fresh today.


 

Another weekend is just around the corner, so it's time for some "going home for the weekend" tunes.


From all the way back to 1983, The Funkmasters, "Its Over"




And then even further back to 1979, this time it's a Roy Ayres tune, "Don't stop the feeling"

    • Yes, they thanked me for pointing out the errors of their ways and agreed never to do it again.  Or maybe not.  There was also two scenes when I asked drivers to turn their engines off when sitting idling by Peckham Rye.  I wont recount the tale but they did not appreciate my request.  I've long since given up.  My experience was similar to Nigel Havers, "go forth and multiply". https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p04qrnh6 I also used to fantasise about putting a potato in the exhaust.  Gone are the days when you could kill the occupants through carbon monoxide poisoning as the levels are relatively low.  Not oxides of nitrogen though.   
    • Hi everyone, We’re currently looking to upgrade our front door and are leaning towards something with a Victorian style to suit our home in South East London. While doing some research, I came across Victorian Front Door Company (https://www.victorianfrontdoor.co.uk), and their doors look absolutely stunning. Has anyone here used their services before? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience! How was the process, and are you happy with the final result? Looking forward to any insights or other recommendations for suppliers in the area. Thanks in advance! 😊
    • I saw couple of people in hi-vis jackets, hard hats putting a ladder up against the sign on my way out early evening 9th October. On my way back I looked at the sign and (it took me a few seconds!) spotted the change.
    • Our Australian friend wants to use google maps on his Ozzie iphone in London without using up his international data - I’m sure some of you can advise how he can do this ( before tomorrow morning?!)   thanks
