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


Recommended Posts

It's Easter weekend, a good time for some reflection and contemplation, and about time we had a bit of gospel soul, I give to you from this collectors must have album;


Donny Hathaway, Sack Full of Dreams, from the album "In Performance", a collectors vinyl must have.




Donny Hathaway, We Need You Right Now, from the album "In Performance"


 

What a way to get the weekend just around the corner underway with two fab "Going home for the Weekend" tunes, enjoy.


Instant Funk - Crying, a Larry Levan 12" Mix




Gospel BeBe Winans - Thank You (1997) Rare MAW 12" Inch Remix


 

With another Bank Holiday just around the corner, what better way to begin then with two outstandingly great "Going home for the weekend" tracks from the O'Jays, beginning with "I love music"




Swiftly followed on by "My favourite person",


 

It's Friday again, so it can only mean more "Going home for the weekend" tracks.


First up is a remix of Brass Construction's Movin by Djinji Brown




Followed swiftly by Marcus Miller from the Tutu Revisited LP (Live) featuring the superb Christian Scott, Hannibal. An absolutely stonking jazz track.


 

So many tunes and so little time to squeeze them all in by closedown, but lets start with two more outstandingly stonking good "Going home for the weekend" tunes from 1973 and 1975 with;


The Intruders, "I'll Always Love My Mama"




Followed swiftly by;


The Trammps, "Trusting Heart"


 

More "Going home for the weekend" tunes.


Beginning with a soulful jazzy track by Jon Lucien, "Would You Believe in Me"




and followed very swiftly with the high energy banger of Stephanie Mills, "You're puttin a rush on me"


 

I saw the Silver and Golden Jubilee's and now here we go with the Platinum Jubilee.


It's a double bank holiday weekend, and I'm feeling it's time to begin pulling some tunes out for the four days of celebrations which are ahead, and funk up your life so what better way to start than with some funky sounds to get you tapping and bopping across the floor. Tune 1, from a bag bursting at the seams;


Chaka Khan "I Know You, I Live You"




Followed by a touch of sweet jazz;


Eddie Russ, "take a look at yourself"

    • I see their website has it as https://www.royalmail.com/services-near-you/delivery-office/peckham-and-east-dulwich-delivery-office-se15-5au, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're also distinct administrative or operational entities for some purposes.  I note, for example, that Peckham (SE15) isn't on the list.
    • A reminder of the current situation. Covid-19 Eligibility: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/ Availability: NHS are no longer running their own appointment-making system. This winter's version is still available from pharmacies until 31 January.   They may have individual availability times, see:  https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/pharmacy/find-a-pharmacy-offering-walk-in-COVID-19-vaccination-services Flu Flu vaccinations (65+, pregnant, higher risk, or private) are available from some pharmacies.  See https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/pharmacy/find-a-pharmacy-that-offers-free-flu-vaccination for details of eligibility and a link to a pharmacy finder. Some may offer appointments: you may have to dig down into their individual listing. RSV Currently eligible/recommended: If pregnant (at 28+ weeks), or age 75-79, or became 80 on or after 1 Sept 2024. This has been available from GP practices.  I was offered one by text.  When I responded a week later they didn't have any available but gave me one by appointment three weeks later. https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/rsv-vaccine/ Other vaccines https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/  
    • I get that they're being pollarded. This estate was built in the 60's and so I'm guessing that they're around 60 years old.  Nothing wrong with that but even when they re-grow they're hardly going to be the most attractive. Y'know just musing on improving the look of our public spaces.  
    • Pretty repetitive on the transport section.  I like a good discussion and this does raise wider issues.  I miss banks more than post office branches which tend to be part of other stores.  A few other threads on the Lounge, come on over.  Or 🐕 💩
