Whenever I come back from a Tumblr break, I'm always a bit confused about what I'm meant to be doing here, so I ease back in with music . . . music always makes sense to me.
In any case, this one is a call-back to Saturday mornings back in the day, when I had to get all of my chores done before I could watch Soul Train. Special shout out to those of you who remember when Lionel Richie was one of the supreme masters of funk. 🥹

Have a great weekend y'all! 😎

Year-End Poll #29: 1978
Tumblr media
[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Andy Gibb (x2), Bee Gees (x3), Debby Boone, Exile, Player, A Taste of Honey, Commodores. End description]
More information about this blog here
Late 1977, a little film called Saturday Night Fever hit American theaters. The movie not only cemented disco's place in mainstream music, but it also helped to contribute to the increased popularity of Bee Gees. On this poll alone, the brothers occupy half of the options, whether as a group or Andy Gibb's with solo work.
This poll also includes one of the biggest hit songs of all time: Debby Boone's You Light Up My Life. As of me writing this, Billboard has it listed as the 12th biggest song in the entire history of the charts. Previous songs to be included on this list include The Twist (number 2) and Mack the Knife (number 4).

“Oh, Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be”

My media this week (25 Feb - 2 Mar 2024)
Tumblr media
nancy is the superstar of this show. she's in it for 5 seconds, drops the best line, steals the scene
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
🥰 What I Used To Be (thepinupchemist) - 117K, stucky, omegaverse trauma recovery fic - a relatively light tone, mostly escapist fic focusing on the recovery, not dwelling overly much on trauma details, kidfic but I really dug it
😍 The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (Amina al-Sirafi #1) (Shannon Chakraborty, author; Lameece Issaq & Amin El Gamal, narrator) - just gonna KJ Charle's review bc she's better with words than I'll ever be: "Good god, this was incredible fun. Absolutely cracking. A sort of take on Sinbad but with more historical accuracy (apart from the demons, marids, etc), with a middle-aged retired lady pirate getting the crew back together to take on a Frankish coloniser/sorceror/baddie. It's just fabulous exuberant fun." I cannot wait for more!
😊 The Werewolf Companion (MargaretKire) - traumatized derek hale, intriguing larger worldbuilding, hot, wet, messy sex that really leaned into the 'definitely not human' aspect of werewolf fucking without going full xeno. super enjoyable
🥰 My Man Jeeves (Jeeves #1) (PG Wodehouse) - our intro to Bertie & Jeeves 💖 [via Serial Reader app]
💖💖 +50K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
A Fine Cure from Fennel Seed (Lucius Parhelion (Parhelion)) - original work, 10K - absolutely delightful amuse-bouche of an original fic; short, hot, slapsticky hilarious, set in the '30s

Ah, show me a place where dreams are for dreamers, And all the things you wish come true, yeah. I’d wish the world had all happy people - Then there’d be no more wishing to do.
Commodores - Sweet Love
