Out with the New in with the Old

Everyone is so concerned with being fresh, new, cutting edge, fashionable, new skool, rare skool, gay skool... whatever. Rather than constantly pumping you full of new shit, Whiteboydancefloor seeks a balance. Rather than getting too over the top in the rigged world cup, feeding you news about whats going to be the best of the worst mainstream pop going round. We're going to keep our integrity and keep our legs closed (i dont even know wat my points was there).

But i propose to give you the most vintage soul, and the most underrated pop rock of all time.

Now, i did say soul, So guess no longer... James Brown. I take you back to the year 1973, and soul is never better than when it's James Brown and an entire entourage of fellow soulful brothers. This is a man who's got more than "i feel good's" and "get up offa that thing's". If you didnt know that, I'm giving you a chance to educate yourself before someone catches you out.

Two drummers, too brilliant.



And also as promised, arguably some of the greatest hit single creating from any band in the history of popular music. ELO.




If you told someone the name ELO or Electric Light Orchestra few people would really go, "Ah yes, Jeff Lynne" or even know a single song by them. However, whack your ELO Best of in the compact disc player and you'll notice a very different outcome. "Evil Woman", "Livin' Thing", "Strange Magic" & "Mr Blue Sky" are merely just a small few of the instantly notable hits this band has to offer. Yet while you have the mediocrity of U2, half assed The Who Revivals and my bad spelling all still being heralded as vintage cool, it sends me to boiling point the think only a select few really know the triumphs and pop / rock / other stylings of such a musically articulate phenomena. So, again to make amends for your lack of musical savvy... I give you an electronically charged rock n roll popped out legend, "Mr Blue Sky".

I'd go as far to say that if the world had more ELO and less rap metal, we may not be fighting a war in Iraq right now!

Mp3: Mr Blue Sky

And finally, here is just a friendly reminder that even the great ones, have their moments of embarassment. However after watching this, I warn you, It could make you love James even more.
