Welcome to A TOUCH OF PINK, our twisted view on all that is fun in the world of pop from all around the world, but especially Australia (Ricki-Lee) and the UK (The Saturdays).

This week’s faves include Midnight Pool Party, Sub Focus ft Kele, Alexis Houston (Whitney’s cuz), John Newman and Crayon Pop.

Track Of The Week, two weeks in a row, is “Disco Love” by The Saturdays. It’s amazing … it can probably even cure cancer, if listened to enough times. Try it now … you know you want to.

Runner up: Donna Summer with “Love is in control” (Chromeo + Oliver remix) from a forthcoming remix CD Love To Love You Donna due on October 25^th. Remixers include Giorgio Moroder, Hot Chip and Frankie Knuckles.

Here follows tonight’s playlist. Tune in to us this Saturday on JOY 94.9 from 7pm for 26 tracks in 2 hours (yes, we know!). Your hosts are Dennis and Dick.

What have we seen lately ?

Film : Elysium : I really wanted to like this more than I did, because it had a great cast including Jodie Foster and Matt Damon (with a shaved head, yummy!), and it looked real good, but once again, another film let down by a just okay story. It started off well, with a sci-fi plot, but then it turned into a chase ‘em and shoot ‘em down film. Mindless stuff, which I can sometimes accept, but not with this budget and cast.

Show : Singing In The Rain : Another great musical from Jeannie Pratt’s Production Company, lord love her. Not that the plot matters, cos it’s just another love story, but it was about the changeover from silent movies to the talkies, and in particular an actress with a dreadful voice, ok in the silent films but not so good in the talkies. Anyway, hilarity ensues and they all burst into song. A good time was had by all, and the season was a sell-out so they put on another performance at 11am on a Sunday morning. I know!
