Colonel Pleasure's safe surfing selection
Watersports
Remember Yacht Rock? I've found the real thing for you. Poco & Don't Think Twice, on a boat. (You don't remember Yacht Rock? )
Fashion
Newcastle dressed like this in the 60's apparently. Readers may wish to confirm or deny accordingly. Lovely period clip with added bonus of Mood Mosaic's 'Touch Of Velvet, Sting of Brass'. (Check the suit at 1.19. Killer 12" single vent. I'm off to John Collier right now).
Old Pop
Has anyone ever bettered Reparata & The Delrons as the ultimate girl group name? Watch 'Captain Of Your Ship' and spot something odd happen to their dresses
Technology
Up at six am today to buy your iphone then? Seems a good time to show you this extraordinary TV ad for an American mobile co.
Classic Pop
Barbara Lewis & 'Baby I'm Yours'. She's yours until the poets run out of rhyme. Beat that.
The Things What Held The Candles
There's a million sad sacks with acoustic guitars out there writing about lost love, but there's no-one writing witty novelty songs any more. (See David's column on p121 of the new Word). Myles Rudge, who died last month, wrote a few classics with partner Ted Dicks, including Hole In The Ground & Right Said Fred for Bernard Cribbins. Watch this superb home made Lego movie and listen to a George Martin produced piece of genius pop.

Love the logo, Colonel

A Great Selection
Are Poco meant to be a 'Primark Pop' version of CSNY?
Love threads in the second clip, what a bunch of 'fancy Dans'.
I'm sure Betty Boo sampled Reparata & The Delrons
Money was tight...
...only two mic stands between three for Reparata and the Delrons. Looks like Sister Reparata drew the short straw.
