Fusion 45
Like it or not, popular culture lived in a swirl of polyester and strobe lights in 1978, camped out on the disco dance floor for the better part of the year. The Bee Gees ruled the airwaves, of course, but there were other sounds emanating from Studio 54 and the like. Here are the Top 10 Dance Songs that had booties shakin' in '78.

Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Here is part 3 of 1977, the songs that can take me back to the autumn and winter of that year. *  *  * ABBA – The Name Of The Game.mp3 This is my favourite ABBA song, with a rather endearing video of domestic bliss via a communal game of ludo (it’s the name of the game, you see; video here ). I had a bit of a crush on Agnetha. Actually, I still do. I think [...]
Idolator!["American Idol" Gets Whacked By Quentin Tarantino [Idolator's American Idolatry]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1656630_lg.jpg)
This week, American Idol goes to the movies, with director Quentin Tarantino sitting in as mentor as the contestants take on the frustratingly vague theme of "songs from film." (Tarantino has actually served as a guest judge on the show in the past, and he's not exactly a pushover , which should be awesome when he deals with Lil Rounds' outsized ego.) The bloodthirsty Tarantino has always had a deft touch when it comes to putting together soundtracks for his own flicks, and part of me kind of hopes [...]

A friend of my girlfriend's parents who lives in Marseille is a musician and put all of his music collection from the 60s and 70s into cassette compilations. Last year he decided to get rid of the cassettes and so I inherited them. Lots of them are cassettes full of Led Zeppelin and french pop from the 60s like Francoise Hardy and Michel Polnareff but there are a few compilations of rare disco and other 80s rarities that are quites something. Side A will come later. Side B is particularly good because [...]

A studio group performing in the disco-style of the late 70s, Santa Esmeralda made the US charts in 1977-78 with dance-oriented remakes of two songs originally popularized by the British group the Animals in the 60s. Santa Esmeralda featured vocalist Leroy Gomez (b. Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA), a multi-instrumentalist who had played with Elton John, Tavares and others before taking the Santa Esmeralda position. The group recorded two of Gomez's songs, a cover of Van Morrison 's 'Gloria' and the Animals hit 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'. An album was built around those songs and itself reached [...]

Schwarz-Weiss-Fotografie - noch immer eine heimliche Liebe von mir. Und ich überlege mir regelmässig, ob es sich lohnen würde, das Equipment für die DIY-Entwicklung anzuschaffen. Dazu würde dann ein umfangreicher Kurs in Sachen Chemie gehören. Und ich schrecke jeweils davor zurück. Bleibt festzustellen, dass das Fotografieren ohne Farben einfach überwältigende Ergebnisse liefern kann. Selbst wenn man nicht so begnadet ist wie Berenice Abott (1898-1991), amerikanische Fotografin mit Vorliebe für die unamerikanischste Stadt Amerikas. Foto Berenice Abbott - Pike and Henry Street.
