BBC4 documentary on the 'Joy of Disco'. Absolutely brilliant. I'm a convert
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zQpMnU6N4o
Documentary about how a much-derided music actually changed the world. Between 1969 and 1979 disco soundtracked gay liberation, foregrounded female desire in the age of feminism and led to the birth of modern club culture as we know it today, before taking the world by storm. With contributions from Nile Rogers, Robin Gibb, Kathy Sledge and Ian Schrager.

Can't wait to watch it.

Btw, "shield", is that a British thing that it's sometimes pronounced like "tch-ield" ?

....No

Well, how is it supposed to be pronounced?   I always thought it was like other "sh" sounds, "shabby", "shack", "ship" etc, but I swear yesterday, the girl said something that sounded more like "chield" as in "chip".  And I noticed the same in Deep Space Nine from Avery Brooks.

As much as I like Boardwalk Empire, I just can't stand the 20s.  It really looks like a boring time period and their form of entertainment reminds me of the Bugs Bunny show.

Getting drunk in speakeasies reminds you of Bugs Bunny?

Have the guilty been brought to justice?

I watched a bit of documentary on Canuck TV about music that tried to make the point that disco was the natural outgrowth of big business intruding into the music industry and forcing artists to duplicate over and over and over again the aspects of songs that had broad appeal.

They say broad appeal; Sheilbh said appeals to broads.

Tilda Swinton is very good narrator, she makes this BBC documentary about Galapagos sound like the Lord of the Ring.

I want a Bowie biopic starring Tilda Swinton.

I want a Bowie biopic starring Tilda Swinton.

Not pretty enough or skinny enough.

Maybe Keira Knightly.
