sheila week - bonus
SHEILA - SPACER
as bonus i thought i'd leave you with possibly the best disco song ever which was sung by sheila in 1979. i originally posted this in the very first month of blowupdoll and i still love it. written and produced by 'chic' it wipes the floor with anything else they did.

SHEILA - LES PAPILLIONSthanks to joel, who showed me that sheila got her groove on in the late 60's and was more than just bad hair, cover versions and a schoolgirl image. if you enjoyed
this sheila song from the other week, then you'll love this week!
girl in the striped poloneck
in november 2006 i posted a track by the postmarks which went down really well with blowupdoll readers due to their mix of doll vocals, 60's stylings and indie pop vibe. now they have a new album out and you must listen to this track from the album- it's cinematic and dollicious-
THE POSTMARKS - NO-ONE SAID THIS WOULD BE EASYgood, no?
