#FortnightFridayMusic

This Friday's theme is #Lounge.

Whenever I hear the word "Lounge" in combination with music, there's three things that I immediately think of

1. Lounge music (which I don't like, most of the time);

2. Amy Winehouse - F*ck Me Pumps (of which I always imagine it takes place in a hotel lounge); and

3. [My choice today]

The Lounge Lizards – Harlem Nocturne

Fortnight Friday Music picks up the theme "Lounge".

Jumping sideways to Tokyo for some wonderfully stylish lounge music from the 1990s.

Hosts: @MarkIngs @bborn
Theme: Lounge
Song: "優しい木曜日 (Sweet Thursday)" (1993)
By: Pizzicato Five

This is genre of J-Pop called "Shibuya-kei", based around 1960s jazz, soul, and lounge. Totally cool.

por la anglaj parolantoj: Bad decisions, should we lounge about or play up?

🎶 Ĉu studi nun aŭ pli bone ripozi?
Ĉu resti modera kaj forgesi mian gajnon?
Aŭ egoisme agi kaj nur pensi pri mi mem?
Ĉu renkonti amikon aŭ fari muzikon?
Ĉu dormi nun aŭ festi tra la nokto? 🎶

Heading to the twenty-teens for a mish-mash of styles which results in some laidback, stylishly lounge jazz.

Straight back to 1984's "Repo Man", which featured the Circle Jerks playing one of their songs in an acoustic lounge style.

"Doobiddy-doo wop-wop,

It's still #FortnightFridayMusic 🎉

Song: Ladies Lounge
By: Weddings Parties Anything

Remember when toxic masculinity meant pubs were segregated by gender? I don't but the Weddo's do:

🎶 Who is going to clean the mess
And who will sort it out
"Can you tell me why it's always us?"
I heard the young girl shout

BUT who will worry, who will care
When over in the ladies lounge
The girls are putting flowers in their hair 🎶

Hey! More #FortnightFridayMusic 🎉

Song: Berlin Chair
By: You Am I
Link: youtu.be/Nwsyr5gAEuM

Sometimes you need something sturdier than a lounge.

This video features a sparkly, iconic Sydney street performer from the early 90's who you _need_ to see. It also features Tim's Spanish ex. Fame & alcohol cost him a big one there.

🎶 If half of what I'm sayin', of what I'm saying is true
...
I'm your Berlin Chair, won't you lean on me 'til I break 🎶

faRk used to record music from Amiga games on a cassette player as a kid and quickly discovered Protracker and eventually Fasttracker 2 on PC - all which inspired his style of music.

He released an album 💿 fark.bandcamp.com/album/utelat a few years back as a result — and also made an animated short movie, ALSO inspired by said music and demoscene, Amiga memories, Pikselhjerte ❤️ youtu.be/QlKF4vss9Is

These days, he dabbles in modern Daws and the trusty M8 Tracker from Dirtywave for composing sweet chiptunes.

At Black Valley, he will DJ a varied blend of both old melodic demoscene classics mixed with modern tunes and remixes of old games, filling our lounge area with sweet nostalgia. Welcome!
