It’s Bob Fosse’s birthday. Brilliant choreographer and could dance a bit too. Tommy Rall is phenomenal here. Fosse came up through vaudeville & Rall trained as a ballet dancer so it’s a fascinating scene to study. youtu.be/XE0AvrTjDD0?...

I respect Ennio Moricone because he wasn't about manipulating the audience's emotions. If anything, he wrote film scores in opposition to emotion. You might feel emotional - but not because Ennio has you on a string.(Only exception might be Cinema Paradiso but I'm gonna let that slide. 🙂) #TCMParty

“.. Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to the Smithsonian. .. He made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today.” - Bob Dylan, on Brian Wilson #RIP “Good Vibrations” (1966)

Happy birthday to my first movie star crush, Clint Eastwood. He's 95 years old today. I'm recommending 1971 as a very good year for anyone looking for an intro to his work. (And proof that he can emote when the role calls for it. 😊) ☆The Beguiled ☆Dirty Harry ☆Play Misty For Me (he also directed)

So wraps another fun musical show-and-tell, #1C000LEST crew! I only starting posting on Day 24 and I missed everyone sharing wildcard picks, so for the record... My vote for #Song1001 AC/DC - Thunderstruck Don't tell me you can't feel a stadium shaking under your boots when you hear it 😄

#1C000LEST Day 50. Deee-lite - Groove Is In The Heart Man, did I mourn this group splitting up! This song has been on nearly every playlist I've ever made since it came out. Irresistibly fun and, how do you say?....de-groovy🌼 My one and only 12 pointer.

Thissssss 😆

#1C000LEST Day 49. Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk This is the most recently released song on my unranked list. (Wet Leg's Wet Dream didn't survive the last edit) It made the cut for many funky Mark and Mars related reasons but mostly it's just 'cause it reminds me of my mama ❤️

#1C000LEST Day 48. The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations I don't know where they send me but I'm there.

#1C000LEST Day 47. The Kinks - All Day and All of the Night. This band! This sound!😍 I know I'm not the only one who hears this opening riff and feels like an activated sleeper agent summoned to shake it. Go go gadget go-go boots!

#1C000LEST Day 46. Al Green - Let's Stay Together The control this man has over a voice capable of anything! He makes this song sound like pillow talk.

RIP Joe Don Baker His ridiculously charismatic performance as CIA agent Darius Jedburgh in the brilliant mini-series Edge of Darkness is an all-timer & his rapport with Bob peck is off the charts. Loved him in everything but see this if you haven’t.

SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK: “.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...

#1C000LEST Day 45. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run There are concerts and then there's Bruce and the E Street Band playing this live while you and a kabillion other fans join in the chorus. Insanely thrilling and very moving. 11 points for Bruuuuuuuuce!

#1C000LEST Day 44. Stevie Wonder - I Was Made To Love Her I'll have what he's having. Happy (belated) Birthday, Stevie!💖

Post your top 4 James Bond films

Me at the group brainstorming meeting at work this morning.

Day 43. Chaka Khan - I Feel For You. I feel like the #1C000LEST crew has said all the great things about this song (and all its amazing contributing artists) already. All I have left is this: Chaka Khan is SO cool that just rapping her names adds fire to Prince lyrics 🔥

#1C000LEST Day 42. George Michael - Freedom! '90 Oh George 💔 A powerful song about autonomy, artistry, the love/hate relationship with camera, and the pressure of public life. And the lasting genius of using some of the most famous supermodels in the world to convey it.

#1C000LEST Day 41. Arcade Fire - Reflektor Dead sexy dark disco and David Bowie to boot 😍

#1C000LEST Day 40. The Breeders - Cannonball This song will always be awesome. The whole album is non-skip. Cue the sweet 90s party fog and all my old crushes playing air guitar.

#1C000LEST Day 39. Blondie - Heart of Glass In the time between OG liner notes and Google-able lyrics, how anyone got "love's one true bluish light" is beyond me. Still, if I didn't know what Debbie was singing, I felt it. Favourite song from an all-time favourite band. RIP Clem Burke.

He might retired and not quite as tall, but a girl can dream of Rick Moranis as Mark Carney on SNL, can't she? 😂🇨🇦❤️

Socking it to ya with Day 38. Respect - Aretha Franklin #1C000LEST

#1C000LEST Day 37. Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing) And then she dropped the mic 🎤 👏👏👏

Like baking soda on a grease fire.

#1C000LEST Day 36. The Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love. There's so much going on in this song it's like a pick 'n' mix of ear candy 💕 Often sampled, but never outdone.

#1C000LEST Day 35. The Zombies - She's Not There Yeah, we know this vibe. I'm pretty sure if he knew then what he knows now he'd do it all over again in a heartbeat ;)

#1C000LEST Day 34. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows Just your average divinely inspired musical masterpiece.

#1C000LEST Day 33. Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance Boy, Blueskyers must be wondering why they're seeing this video posted every day. This song again?? Yes, this song again. Because listen to it. Again, lol

Meanwhile at stately Wayne Manor...

#1C000LEST Day 32. The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand. Ah, to be young and in love! Nothing like that bubbly feeling of a good crush, and here it is in song form 🌼

#1C000LEST Day 31. The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army This song is awesome. I have nothing new or interesting to add to its description. I do, however, have one 'hear me out' posted below...

#1C000LEST Day 30. Toxic - Britney Spears The strings in this song, especially the way they stretch after "takin' over me," remind me of the score to Batman Returns for the Catwoman scenes. Feels like music to scale a building to.

#1C000LEST Day 29. Adele - Rolling In The Deep Ooh, she was so maaaaad. And I love it. I love that the thumping drum is actually mixed with Adele stomping the floor in the recording studio. You can feel it - the 'Take your shit and go!'-ness of it all. Very satisfying lol

Yes! Carney's in! I will sleep well tonight❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️

#1C000LEST Dearly beloved, it's Day 28 of this unranked list and I choose Prince and the Revolution - Let's Go Crazy.

#1C000LEST Day 27 (unranked, btw) Wilson Pickett - Land of 1000 Dances Between today's and yesterday's pick, it's become clear to me I like a song that tells me how to dance to it. Anyone else think of Dan Aykroyd and the cast of The Great Outdoors (1988) dancing to this in the end credits?

#1C000LEST I got your sugar right here 26. Outkast - Hey Ya! youtu.be/PWgvGjAhvIw?...

1 book, 1 movie, 1 album, 1 series

#1C000LEST 25. Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke A joyous song about music you can feel ALL over. Isn't that why we're here?😊 youtu.be/ETFvmkIA6S4?...

Took a long Spring break but got that list in so... #1C000LEST 24. Missy Elliot - Work It Ratta-ta-ta! It's Missy at her most creative and Pepe-Le-Pew-iest. We lost our minds when this video came out! Here's to everyone who sings the reverse lines. They never sound right but we don't care.

As I was saying, Rumours (2024) about inept G7 leaders dealing with a global crisis is kinda brilliant. It teeters on the edge of being the kind of bat-shit bonkers that could've made it a genius-level horror comedy, but totally worth a watch - especially for Roy Dupuis as the PM of Canada 🇨🇦

Well Bluesky buddies, I'm giving up my phone (as best I can) for Lent, so I'll be back after Easter. Here's what I imagine my brain cells will look like with so much free time. One of them is yelling, "Hey! Didn't we used to read magazines??" See ya on the flip-flop ❤️🧡❤️🧡
