@onehitwondered.bsky.socialEverything changed for Len in 1999 with "Steal My Sunshine." Built around a looped sample of Andrea True Connection’s 1976 disco smash "More, More, More," the track paired nostalgic synth grooves with laid-back, alternating vocals from Marc & Sharon. #Len #AndreaTrue #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
@onehitwondered.bsky.socialI’d be remiss if I didn’t post Len’s video of “Candy Pop.” #Len #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
@onehitwondered.bsky.socialBefore “Steal My Sunshine,” Len found an early foothold on Canadian television… Recorded in 1994, “Candy Pop” was introduced as the intro music for season 6 episodes of CBC’s Halifax-produced teen consumer-affairs series Street Cents. #StreetCents #Len #OneHitWondered
@onehitwondered.bsky.socialLen was/is a Canadian alt-rock/pop unit formed around Marc Costanzo and his sister Sharon. They spent years grinding it out in the Toronto punk, underground indie-rock & hip-hop scenes before finally hitting the jackpot with a ‘70s disco sample. #Len #Toronto #StealMySunshine #OneHitWondered
@onehitwondered.bsky.social🇨🇦 The week ending September 11, 1999, Canadian alt-rock/pop group Len earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their breezy, carefree alt-rock classic “Steal My Sunshine” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #31. The single spent 21 weeks on the chart, peaking at #9. #Len #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
@bhekisisa.orgShe tried 3 times before she got LEN.
Visit 1: No nurse trained to give it.
Visit 2: Another problem at the clinic.
Visit 3: A 4-hour wait — and finally, her injections.
Would she do it again? Yes. #HIVPrevention #LEN bhekisisa.org/special-repo...
@bhekisisa.org“In our work, time is money.”
She pays R500 a day to rent a room for sex work. Waiting hours at a clinic can mean losing clients.
So why did she stay to get the six-monthly HIV prevention shot? #LEN #HIV bhekisisa.org/special-repo...
@bhekisisa.orgA sex worker sat in a clinic while clients called. A student had to try 3 times before she got her shot.
Meet 4 people who got South Africa’s new six-monthly HIV prevention injection — and hear what it was really like. #LEN #HIVPrevention
