Song Of The Week : It was hard to choose between the unreleased demo of the Pet Shop Boys song about Putin, or DC Larue’s recent remix of his 1976 latin groover O Ba Ba from the album The Tea Dance. But I eventually went for the Ladies From Mars remix of O Ba Ba. This simple but catchy track reminds me of a wonderful artist from gay music’s past, and it’s great to still have this artist around and sounding great in a spectacularly retro way. Love it to death. And I’ve got the original vinyl ! Camp as heck. Below is the original 1976 version.
