So, it's snowing up where I live, but I'm keeping warm with this disco jam from soft rock/country band Exile, "How Could This Go Wrong". It was covered in German by singer/TV presenter Bernhard Brink as "Frei und abgebrannt" (which I think translates as "free and burnt out").
Some kind New Year's resolutions for myself, because this is the energy I want to bring into 2024:
- Take pictures of things that make me happy
- Eat bagels because I love them
- Bake a new recipe
- Dance, even if it's just in my apartment
- Wear something that makes me feel good
- Compliment people
- Brag about something I'm proud of
Dancing, you say? I don't know if you like disco music, but here's a bunch of recommendations if you're interested:

Hey, if anyone's still looking for some spooky good Halloween music, here's "Dracula Disco" by Canadian artist Gerry Bribosia.
Anyways, enough politics. It's time for some Halloween music! Here's a dramatic, horror-filled rock disco cut from Meco Monardo.
In other sad death news, I learned that Denis LePage - aka Nini No Bless - of the Canadian disco group Lime died a few days ago, so I'm posting this jam in memory.
Here's a disco song I'm listening to right now: "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" by GQ
Since I reblogged something about Sonic Superstars, why not do another Superstar post? Here's some Bob McGilpin for ya.
So, I thought I'd close out my night with this disco reworking of a 50s rock classic, courtesy of Rinder & Lewis
Another question for you Sonic fans: do any of you think that Rouge’s outfit would fit in with the disco era of the 70s-early 80s?
So, here’s a mind-blowing electronic disco jam I’ve been into for at least a decade now. The group is Disco Dream and The Androids (aka The Androids), a project of the late Adrian Wagner (a great-grandson of Richard Wagner). They released only one album in 1979 on the Wake Up Records label, which is now a collector’s item, and man, it is SOMETHING ELSE! I especially enjoy this one, “Is This a Dream?” and “Love Dance”. If you can obtain a copy of this album in ANY format, then I recommend doing so! TRIVIA: An obscure analog synthesizer known as the EDP Wasp was used in the production of this album
In conjunction with my last post, I would like to share the even lesser-known B-side of “High”. Actually, this is a custom extended edit I did a few years ago.
Today, I would like to share a little-known disco classic with you folks. This one is by Peter Moesser’s Music, the brainchild of the late German composer Peter Moesser, written and produced in conjunction with Harold Faltermeyer of Beverly Hills Cop fame.
Having decided to take a break from doing Driver-style remixes of Sonic music, I decided I’d share this obscure disco gem with you folks. It’s a disco version of John Barry’s theme from the 1979 Disney sci-fi movie The Black Hole, as performed by a band called Nostromo. A project of English producer/songwriter/recording engineer Kenny Denton, Nostromo started off by releasing a disco version of Jerry Goldsmith’s theme from Alien. Nostromo also did a disco version of “The Imperial March” from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. For more information on Kenny Denton, visit www.kennydenton.co.uk
