Dear friends,
After a decent hiatus during which I participated in the 50th annual Siberian Pop Music Summit in Vladivostok, I return with a satchel full of tunes that will encourage a generous amount of modern dancing. While discussing the topic with my fellow Popologists, it was concluded that disco beats and lush electronic orchestrations are becoming increasingly popular tools in the fight against depression, diabetes and arthritis. Studies show that the more modern dancing you can participate in, preferably in your living room whilst wearing a pair of fuzzy socks, the happier you will be. Which is why CEO's version of Ave Maria has been included on this week's playlist. I encourage you to find your own modern dancing voice through repeated arm thrusts, dramatic falls on the floor, pirouettes, pliés and jazz hands. I look forward to hearing from those of you who heed my advice. Now I must go and practice my french mime 'hands-on-the-glass-wall' technique. I bid you adieu.
PS: And don't forget -
If ever you should look in the mirror and wonder who it is that you are, and wonder what it is that you came for, well, I know the answer. You're beautiful. You came from heaven. You came down to this place. To fill out the dark corners with your everlasting light. And that's why I love you. We love you.

When you’re right you’re right, and dammit, I’m lightin’ up listening to this robust orbiting orange of joy. Thank you.
Crazed like a monkey, jumpin’ like a donkey, and just being funky.
Dear Funky Bruder,
Funny, I often think of you as a robust orbiting orange of joy. Let the radiating rays of music carry you through this thursday with happiness!

For all the lunches we had at Ohio enduring this song, and you reminding me of this song.

YES!! The best Korean movie soundtrack song ever! (ps: you know the ceo version was a shout out to you.)
No Swedish pron music this week?
Dr. Marnie,
My wrists are very sore. Does doing jazz hands cause carpal tunnel? Should I ice them, or do you recommend a hot compress?
Dear Twit,
No, but Grimes kinda sounds like Tron music…
Dear Gina Zee,
Oh dear. Yes, I forgot to mention the 1% chance of Jazz-Hand-Carpal-Tunnelitis. Here’s what you need to do, QUICK: throw on some Perry Como and stick your hands in a bucket of crisco. That usually does the trick. Let me know how it goes.
Dang, I’m still dancing to this one. Like, sense last week. Thanks, doctor.
sense, since.
shakin mah brain, dancin so much.
brainjuries, jazzhanditis… this popcast needs a public health advisory!
Dear Essbee,
Sense last week, have you had a chence to eat some vitamens? That might help alleviate your brainjuries. That would make since to me. But at least you can still dence. That’s the important part. Phew.
