A WARM WELCOME TO MICHELLE COLLINS

TOM MIX 12" REMIX
"CAN'T WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER"

Oz singer, John Paul Young of "Love Is In The Air" fame, had a charting hit at the beginning of his career with the song "Pasadena" (ca.1970). John's minor hit was originally recorded by an Oz group called Pyramid with lead vocals by Erl Dalby - sadly, although a credible rendition, the Pyramid version had no chart action. The song Pasadena was written by Vanda and Young who fronted the Oz pop group The Easybeats (they wrote Friday On My Mind), and later they became known as the 1970-80's duo Flash & The Pan. It seems only fitting, when I made this remixed dance version of the 1970 hit "Can't Wait For September" by Pyramid featuring Erl Dalby, that I used parts of the percussive bass-line from John Paul Young's hit "Love Is In The Air" to beef it up. And if you listen hard enough there are some modern cymbal overdubs from the Oz pop group Rogue Traders.

Press play for my 12" remix of Can't Wait For September: 

And if you like what you hear it is available for download on SoundCloud - follow the prompts for an alternate remix of Can't Wait For September: DOWNLOAD

Oh, and yes, Erl has a copy of this track and was pleased with the result. Nowadays Erl lives in Wales in the UK and is working under his real name Erle Montaigue. You can visit him HERE

djs_68: @Confidential_CC Where did you get the union jack tie in black from??

Confidential_CC: @djs_68 I think you need to ask Charlie ....my name is Tom I run the blog for him.

djs_68: @Confidential_CC what's his link/address for tweet... Apologies, new to all this!

Confidential_CC: @djs_68 Charlie's twitter name is @charliecondou

djs_68: @Charliecondou where did you get the black tie with the black/white union jack from?

Condou: Marcus keeps kiss secret
Coronation Street's Charlie Condou has said Marcus Dent's decision to keep Todd Grimshaw's come on a secret is worse than if he had told girlfriend Maria Connor straight away. Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) is set to try and kiss Marcus in the New Year, after he notices the nurse watching when he strips off to try on a new shirt at the Bistro. Charlie said, "Todd knows that stripping off in the Bistro has had an effect on Marcus. He follows Marcus outside and says to him that he did it for his benefit, then asks him if he liked what he saw. Todd's very flirtatious and really comes on to Marcus - and Marcus is clearly uncomfortable with it all. Todd leans in for a kiss, at which point Eileen interrupts them. It's hard to know if Marcus would have responded to the kiss or not." He added: "If there wasn't anything in it, he would have told Maria that Todd tried to kiss him. But he doesn't - and that's suspicious. He's unsure of how he's feeling and that's why he doesn't say." The actor recently announced that he will be leaving the soap next year. His exit storyline is expected to involve him cheating on Maria with Todd.

ONLINE FORUM ABUZZ WITH THE MARCUS AND TODD PAIRING

Oldnjaded: Lol, right - because it's perfectly normal to strip off in your local bistro to try on a new shirt.
*facepalm*
ewoodie: Didn't Todd try and kiss Nick?
Oldnjaded: It's good that this happens, because how else would us thick viewers be able to understand that Todd fancies Marcus? I mean come on, all hetero relationships start with the woman stripping down to her scanties in a public place don't they? :-)
mo mouse: It's no biggie.
ewoodie: Come on Mo, he's done it before! Deja Vuuuuuuuu! I'd like to see him try and kiss Owen or Gary
Hound of Love: Todd has good taste in men, therefore he would never go near Sean.
Todd/Marcus? Contrived, but at least it'll mark the beginning of the end for Marcus and dreary Maria.
NathanJohnson: What a plot twist, never saw this coming a mile off.
Hound of Love: Definitely not onscreen. The producers would be terrified of the Daily Mail brigade complaining.
callumfreeman: Yet they had a full on kissing scene with Sophie and Sian in bed years ago. Must of been some horny men working on that episode. But men kissing? No way, too controversial. Ridiculous. Rather that than having to stomach the grotesque scenes with Peter and Tina.
Flukie: I have said that for years and years and years!:-) The men who complain that two men kissing is completely depraved and disgusting, will think two girls getting it on is the hottest thing they've ever seen! Likewise, women who find two men in a soap kissing think it's disgusting and depraved and are indifferent to two girls kissing because girls kiss each other anyway! Corrie have always thought like that as well. The reason Bruno left in the first place was because he didn't want to play a gay character - not that he had any kissing to worry about, but I remember him saying in an interview he never wanted to have to kiss Cotton cos he was a friend of his! (and it probably turned his stomach anyway just cos it IS Cotton!)

One of my most vivid memories about Cotton is when Sean was seeing Sonny - I think his name was - who was Michelle's boyfriend. A triangle with a difference was presumably what Corrie were after! Steve was out one night and he saw what we saw - the back of Sonny as he kissed Sean in a dark corner! Absolutely hilarious! The actor playing Sonny refused to kiss Cotton so they were pretending to kiss with their lips nowhere each other. That was so obvious on screen it was HILARIOUS! lol I've never forgotten it! A lot of people who saw it probably haven't either! :-) I would think one of the reasons Bruno went back was because he knows gay men in Corrie don't do any kissing. If he was in Hollyoaks there'd be snogging and bed scenes! But in Corrie ... no. He might have to indulge in a very brief peck at some point, with Marcus, but nothing more than that.
jsmith99: As you do. Wouldn't it be more natural for him to be changing for one of the football team's matches ... oh, hang on, they only ever had the one!

Jimi Mistry - Jimi Mistry Marries Dancer Girlfriend

by WENN | 30 December 2013
British actor Jimi Mistry will start 2014 as a married man after tying the knot with his girlfriend on Sunday (29 Dec 2013). The Guru star married dancer Flavia Cacace in an intimate ceremony held at London's St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Cacace confirmed the news by sharing one of the couple's wedding pictures on her Twitter.com page, captioning the photograph, "Had the most amazing day with family & friends St. Pancras Renaissance." The pair met on U.K. Tv show Strictly Come Dancing in 2010, but did not confirm the romance until the following year (2011).
