Playlist shuffle: keeping my ear & brain engaged. One minute I'm brought to tears by the virtuoso cornet of Wynton Marsalis weaving the "Grand Russian Fantasia", the next I'm sinking into the ridiculously lush ELO pop soundscape of "Xanadu" and carried by Olivia Newton-John's clarion voice.
Olivia Newton-John's "Have You Never Been Mellow" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 8, 1975.

I'm sure there are #gayer movies than #Xanadu (if that is the correct comparative form).
Guess I just don't know them.

Ian Dury & the Blockheads - "Hit me with your rhythm stick", on video.
Olivia Newton John - "A little more love". Repeated from last year, the pink blouse pops against the stark black backdrop.
Racey - "Lay your love on me" Not *quite* the theme from Kick Start, but close enough.

Look, I don't know what to tell you. You either grew up with 'XANADU' or you didn't. Me, I still adore this movie and will fight anyone who says it sucks.
Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?
