The Three Degrees – Starlight

Well, for openers…this song sends me right off the launching pad into some kind of third degree heaven. “You’re my never ending breath of mystic light?” Lyrics, people. I know the hair is major and the styles are so right on, but get into the words if you can.

Christmas At The Ballet – A Holiday Mini Dialog

(In the soloist’s dressing room)

HER – Happy Holidays to you too – I think you oughta put down that gingerbread and think about disciplining yourself a little. You’re not getting any younger you know and actually, to be honest, I thought you looked kinda “chunky” in last night’s performance.

YOU -( a look of total dis-belief as you rush to drop the gingerbread into the toilet – flush )

HER – I’m not saying you are fat!  I’m saying you looked heavier last night. You appeared to be heavier to me. That’s all. That’s all I’m saying.

You – ( shock and disbelief turn to tears in the mirror as you survey your rear mid-body area ) Could it have been the lighting?

HER – Actually I don’t think it’s the lights babe because they haven’t changed the lighting for that ballet in fifty years – OK?  Look, you know what to do – you do what we’ve all done – come on, stop crying – we’ve all done it babe. A professional dancer sometimes needs to drop a few pounds fast. Period. That’s all I’m saying. You do it it for the company. (pause) Do you want me to call Raul and get you a couple grams of helper? Huh? look, let’s start with what I have now and we can walk over and see the windows at Bergdorf’s on the way to Raul’s. Come on tubby… Kidding! Kidding! Jesus! you’ll be a light bulb en pointe by next week so relax!  Now let’s go.

A Week-long ABBA Web Event is Being Scheduled!!!

image image image image

A certain Euro-compatible voltage of musical excitement and anticipation has been zapping around our headquarters as we begin to envision and to schedule our biggest Web Based Web Event to date.

The Week-long ABBA Web Event presented by BillyBeyond.com™© and blue eyeshadow.

 

UPDATE: A date for our upcoming ABBA Week-long Web Event has been firmed up  after nearly five unanswered telegrams from BBHQ to the Ledendary Scando Quartet. It is with great pleasure that we can now announce that this seminal (to some) WLWE ( Week Long Web Event ) will begin pretty soon.

ABBA – the original yabba zabba

 

ABBA – In the industry, the result of their  inventive approach to the very sound of recorded music became a technique known simply as “Perfect  Production.”

 

ABBA – Is it true they own Sweden? Find out during our WLWE!!!
