Turning Japanese

Perfect your dance moves...see last post for Japanese grrrl band AKB48!

AKB48 Sugar Rush

 

All-girl Japanese Pop band AKB48 (renown for sickly sweet lyrics, high-pitched singing, wild dance moves and matching kitsch outfits) are causing an Olympic Pop Nightmare. Are they too embarrassing to perform at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? Surely not. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7foG62jNMU

Louis Armstrong at Batley Variety Club

 

Did he think to himself "It's a Wonderful World" when he performed in Batley in 1968? Thanks to  Mr Clark, in the Guardian letters page , who explains why Louis's Desert island Disc recoding has only just been located......more stories of Batley Variety's heyday to follow!

Cave Man TV

 

Anyone been watching this? 10,000 BC, Stone Age re-enactment meets Big Brother. Someone turned up in wedges.....

Michelangelo's Muscle Men on Pumas

 

Caption Competition! What are the pumas saying? 2 muscle men riding pumas have been attributed to Michelangelo. They remind me of watching a grown up trying to ride on Minimoto. Something doesn't quite ring true.....any caption ideas?

Deeply Dippy

 

Dippy, the diplodocus in the main hall at London's Natural History Museum is to be replaced by a blue whale skeleton.  A petition to keep him  has gathered thousands of signatures.....even  "Deeply Dippy" 90s band Right Said Fred have signed up....
