Top 10 from Johan Agebjorn himself + videomegamix

It really IS true. Only 8 days to go.

Dj Goatboy asked a while back if Johan could also contribute a top 10, and of course we're more than happy to do that. So here it goes, from the man himself. I linked the song names so you can listen to them easily.

Top 10 inspirational tracks for my disco productions - Johan Agebjorn

1. Valerie Dore "Get Closer"
2. FPU "Waiting For Snow"
3. Ercola feat. Annie "Follow Me"
4. The Whitest Boy Alive "Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix)"
5. Humate "Love Stimulation (Love Mix)"
6. Savage "Don't Cry Tonight"
7. Bogdan Irkük a.k.a. Bulgari "Caprice"
8. Katy Gray "Hold Me Tight"
9. Nicolas Makelberge "Dying In Africa"
10. Pet Shop Boys "King's Cross"

I already feel a bit nervous and excited about the night. The Heineken popup is already up and running, and the sunset is amazing to witness from the bar.

BONUS:
Here's a bonus, more from the Finnish/Italo side of the spectrum. I put together 20 campy-ish videos from 80's for this videomegamix. All the songs are good, un-ironically, but the videos tend to go to the camp road. Thumbs up!

ANOTHER BONUS:

Johan has a blog that very few know about. Check it out here.

Have a good weekend,

Like stars shining

Disco videos are seldom dull. Most of them were made in the glitzy late 70's when everyone went disco, with very little self-criticism, so the results are usually pretty hilarious from today's stand point of view. Here's three video takes whose glamour time has ripped apart, loosely lumped together by the theme of flying and stars.

I just had to include this one in. Wade Nichols aka Dennis Parker was an adult entertainment performer and a regular actor who went disco with Casablanca Records. The song is actually quite good (and has been recycled numerous times), but the video is even better. There's so much feeling in his mustached performance, look at him wave around and claim the skies!

Dee D. Jackson's Automatic Lover videos usually have a soft focus lens Barbara Walters would be proud of. This video is all dreamy fantasy, even if some suggest it's a song about vibrators... Anyways, look at the pants of that robot, he's packing a hefty personal robot tool in there. The main vocal melody works really well. BTW, the Finnish cover of this is in demand, so be very happy if you happen to have a copy.

This is rather bizarre. Apparently it's a disco choreographed version of the main Star Wars theme and the Mos Eisley canteen tune. Not one but four Darth Vader's doing spins to a disco beat - win.

Have a good weekend,

A few easy-going disco cuts

No excuses for these, 'cuz A. I ain't got time with all the real work to hammer in B. can't see nothing wrong with a little sensual disco.

Sensuously slow, strong but feminine. I really think it's glitzy and classy in a very non-irritating way, but let's not go to the sociopsychological reasons for my taste...

From the top-of-tops disco artist groups. There's so many good, humorous songs these guys are responsible for.

This is just perfect. Very breezy, smooth and groovy. Their LP which includes this cut came out a while back as a reissue. Worth copping for this little number alone.
