Ready to Roll!

Back in the day, we had our own music show that playing for half-an-hour in the weekend by the name of Ready To Roll. Ah, the joy of yesteryear, 'tis a pity the videos have gone...

But wait! They haven't! The Film Archive have all those videos (well, 100 of them), and you can watch them all if you are Ready To Roll? And, moreover, vote for them (the winners announced in the People's Choice during Music Month in May)! (Hopefully the videos will continue to be available, but you can download them if you know how...)

Currently leading the pack is the brilliant Jan Hellreigel's The Way I Feel, although there are so many other brilliant videos! What of The Swingers' Counting the Beat? Or Can't Get Enough by Supergroove? But rather than phrase it as questions, some of my picks are:

Computer Games by Misex. Tears by The Crocodiles. Victoria by The Dance Exponents. Sophie by Goodshirt. Glad I'm Not A Kennedy by Shona Laing. Four Seasons In One Day by Crowded House. Maxine by Sharon O'Neill. Slice of Heaven by Dave Dobbyn and Herbs. Sailing Away by All of Us. Scribe by P-Money.

I'm not sure what the criteria they chose, but I would also throw in Room That Echoes, Outlook for Thursday, Fuji, Something Good and Calling On to name merely a few off the top of my head. (Just as well there's youtube.) Your picks?
