Song for a Saturday: Im Pop
Song for a Saturday: Why Do You Hang Around Me – The Liverbirds
The clip actually starts with the stomping ‘Peanut Butter’ and it ends with ‘Diddley Daddy’ but smack in the middle is the song that ought to have been a hit. Also bonus German hipsters dancing.
Songfor a Saturday: Poppycock – Magical Mothers
December will be magic again! A stone groove from Poppycock.
#Noirvember Song for a Saturday: Ida Lupino – One for My Baby
Yeah, it’s all Ida this week. Impressing on my students the genius that she was. They watched this clip as an introduction. We discussed what they assumed to be going on in the scene based on their knowledge of noir now. They did pretty well. If you haven’t seen the film, it can be found in its entirety on the ‘tube.
‘She does more without a voice than anybody I’ve ever heard!’
How’s your #Noirvember going? Got a favourite noir tune?

Song for a Saturday: Aumgn by Can
Open up your head and give this a listen:
Song for a Saturday: Oh Happy Day – Aretha Franklin
Song for a Saturday: Vaskresenje – Severija
Can’t let go of Babylon Berlin: the two-disc soundtrack is the bomb. The score is very drum and percussion heavy which you know suits me down to the ground. The songs by Bryan Ferry and the fabulous Severija, including this Russian version of Rezső Seress’ Szomorú vasárnap (Gloomy Sunday) with its alleged history (internet loves its myths) make for great decadent musings in this afternoons of this too-hot summer.
Yes, I’m aware of the irony of making ‘Gloomy Sunday’ a Song for a Saturday.
I’ve got the novel now, too. On the summer pile. Maybe I’ll take it to Edge-Lit. Always good to have something to read on the train.
