Eli of the Monolators 1. "With Luv'" by, natch, Luv'. Luv' was a manufactured girl group from the Netherlands circa late 1970's, basically an attempt to cash in on ABBA's success. There's three of them, all girls, and they all have different personas: there's the one who can sing, there's the "exotic" one, and there's the blonde one. Like Charlie's Angels. The thing is, though, the this record is REALLY REALLY GOOD. I highly recommend watching their videos on youtube. For example: http://www.youtube com/watch?v=vHllh7J-g2o or this one, with [...]
That's right, back for a limited engagement this weekend only, it's the return of the Weekend WTF!! This one comes by request from my good friend Ray . Ray went to go see The Aquabats at the Trocadero last week, and opening for the band was a group calling themselves Tragedy. Tragedy bill themselves as "An All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees". If you're eyebrows are somewhere on the ceiling right now, it's OK. Mine were too. Then Ray showed me some video (note: the video below is not Ray's, as his were posted only to [...]
Instead of resting in between a new release and their previous effort, 14kt God , Panther are doing an excellent covers project. Every two weeks until the new record's done, they'll do their own spin on a classic song of their choosing. First up? "To Love Somebody" by The Bee Gees. Oh em gee. You can suggest your own personal fave here . (mp3) Panther - To Love Somebody (The Bee Gees cover) Godspeed!
What a difference 492 miles makes. I've traveled to my former stomping ground of Chico for some pre-Thanksgiving festivities. The crystal-blue sky and sun-glazed trees in California always makes me think of backyard get-togethers with friends and road trips-windows down, stereo up. The soundtrack? The Mother Hips . The band got its start here in the dorms of Chico State University, flirted with commercial success in the '90s, relocated to San Francisco, battled the dreaded (and lazy and erroneous) jam-band label, battled personal demons, took an indefinite hiatus, and made some of the finest rock albums of [...]
Bee Gees - Kilburn Towers
i had hope that the shock exit of disco week would be be overstyled, overindulged irish brat eoghan. can't see him doing too well on mariah carey week, can you? yes, it would even be worth cringing through another week of shameless opportunist daniel trying to parlay his loss into a career. just. as long as we can finally get shot of him the week after. my retrospective wishlist for disco week. note, these are based on what would actually do the contestants justice, not the limited x factor playlist based on the paranoid assumption that every brit is too stupid to [...]

It turns out - according to the University of Illinois, anyway - that Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees has the perfect beat to train people to do CPR : The study by the University of Illinois College of Medicine saw 15 doctors and students performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on mannequins while listening to Stayin' Alive. They were asked to their time chest compressions with the beat. Five weeks later, they did the same drill without the music, but were told to think of the song while doing compressions. The average number [...]
From BBC News, Oct.18, 2008: Bee Gees hit could save your life. US medics have found the Bee Gees' 1977 disco anthem, "Stayin' Alive," provides an ideal beat to follow when performing CPR on a victim of a cardiac arrest. A University of Illinois medical school study said it contained 103 beats per minute, close to the recommended rate of 100 chest compressions per minute. Dr. David Matlock said many people were put off performing CPR as they were not sure about keeping the correct rhythm. He said CPR could triple cardiac [...]
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother performing CPR, if you just remember to time your compressions to the beat of the Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever -soundtracking disco anthem, you'll have a much higher chance of saving the person who's dying, according to a team of doctors. That's because the tempo of the song is 103 BPM, which almost matches the ideal cardio-pulmonary resuscitation rate of 100 BPM. But what if you're trying to save the life of someone who isn't a disco fan? What other songs could help you remember the ideal heartbeat? My metronome's [...]
Taking Poingly's lead, I am also going to confess some guilty pleasures. Although no one can outdo the Dave Matthews Band, I, like Bodies of Water, love me some Venga Boys: In fact, any poppy Euro house is totally my guilty pleasure. I grew up in Chicago, a city with more Polish people than anywhere except Warsaw. They love this stuff. Because of this experience I know some of the more popular DJs of Euro house and I can correctly order a Żywiec beer. My second guilty pleasure is the Bee Gees. I love [...]

The fall has brought back a familiar and unwelcome occurrence: seasonal allergies. This means that lately I'm trying to use my tongue to scratch through the roof of my mouth to my inner ear and sneezing up various unmentionables. I believe that Latham is "on the nose" about the sort of things I've been doing lately: That being said I present to you ThePerryTrain's list of The Top 10 MOST ALLERGENIC BANDS: 1.

You may have seen car-maker Citroen's transformer-style ads where their cars are ice-skating , running , or break dancing around an urban landscape. In one of their latest ads, we see a robot-car dancing to MC Lita 's version of The Bee Gee 's classic Staying Alive decked out with a disco-ball beret, disco lights, and jeweled teeth. Though I've heard there is an official digital release coming soon, I really don't recommend playing this version out at any clubs as it sounds more like a rip. MC [...]
1967 (US) ATCO 33-223 I could not find a decent image to post of the cover- however if you look closely, there's some tikki type action on right side - Pushead - like drawings on the left. The album cover was designed by Klaus Voormann. It's a beauty, and I don't have scanner at home. Either way- HappyParts posted this tune a while back - I think I used a you-tube clip or somethin'. But since I went true Mp3 blog a while back - I'm a true believer. [...]
