This may be (alright - IS), out of whack with yer typical FF posts, but what with the usual mood of grey, gloom and doom as the new year gets up to speed - a slice of space-age-sparkle-pop could be just what the doctor ordered.As Marmite rightly posted, there's no shame in dipping into key period Kylie. 'Fever' for example is a scorcher with no duds, blanks or ballast onboard. But, aside from official releases, other golden nuggets can be dug from the early noughties era - pieces like, Soundhog's saxy rework of....
'Slow'
Any ideas about the backing track on this mashup, I'm stumped?
PS - this Soundhog/Kylie booty feature as track 2 of a mix that got me blog-walloped last year
'On The Up'
(A 'Body Language' outtake, that outshines any other track on the album)
Paul Morley's univeral thesis of pop 'Words and Music', has this perfect piece of pop-swapping spinning (around) at it's centre.
And why hasn't anyone covered this tune. How mighty would a guitar version be?

Hey there. Very cool post. I've had the blues so far this year. I need something to pick me back up. I'm not ashamed to say I love Kylie. She's one of the few modern artists that I really dig. She's had a lot of really catchy songs that really put one in the right groove. Cheers!
P.S. Thanks for the comments on Dino style. Check out my post for Friday to see where all of us have been invited. :-)
Sorry Mond, please remove what remains of my off-colour remarks about 'dipping into peak period Kylie' - I will try to grow up and not watch so many 'Carry On' films.
Glad it's put a spring in your step Keith - I didn't realise Kylie was that well known in the States..
Carry Ons are all fine and dandy Davey, it's the 'Confessions' you need to watch out for - have you ever seen the Christmas Carry On's there's a box set of all four if you're tempted
Re - your comms: to borrow a phrase from my 8 year old, (although God knows where he got it) "oooh,VERRRY cheeky" (pronounced 'cheekeh')
Hi. Helena (Noguerra) covers Can't Get You Out of My Head on her 2004 album Née Dans La Nature (http://www.discogs.com/release/673025). It's a nice soft pop version.
Just checked it on youtube Wayne, luvverly I'll make use of that on a future Lazy Sunday mix have you heard the Lenny Costanza & The Les Battersby Cubano Orchestra Latin funk take - 'Can't Get You Out of My Bed' you'll find it 20 minutes into this mix
Like a bit of Kylie mesself like.
Hey Dave. I tagged you in a meme that I created myself on my Dino Lounge blog. I hope you'll check it out and will participate in it. Thanks so much. Cheers! Keith
