Favoriting February 26, 2020: Hi-Waisted Modernists #065 - The New Saturday Night


On June 7th 1976 journalist Nik Cohn wrote a piece called "Tribal Rites for the New Saturday Night" for New York magazine - a piece that became the "Saturday Night Fever". On today's Hi-Waisted Modernists with DJ GeorgyGirl we crank up the library disco tunes and tell the original story. You should be dancing. Yeah.

3 pm to 4 pm EST/8 pm to 9 pm GMT

And the best part about Nick Cohn's article? Not a single word of it was true. ;-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

He'd just arrived from the UK, was tasked to write an article about the disco scene about which he knew nothing, so wrote about Northern Soul music (which he did know) and replaced the words "northern soul" with "disco". And the rest is history ;-)
