Exploding Head Movies Episode August 7, 2017
XHM #373 - "National disco hours" (2017 August 07)
6:55pm - 9:01pm
Originally intended to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday but lined up nicely with both BC Day and the end to Pride Week in Vancouver, this episode goes into the weird fringes of a forgotten genre: Canadian disco! Montreal was a hotbed of disco in the late seventies and upon the global collapse, somehow the Canadian sound kept going. Amongst cheery & cheesy songs, we look at music from the 2011 film Funkytown which portrayed the Montreal disco scene. We also have a spaghetti western cover and an instructional piece on skating. Turn on the siren!
