Blimey. We’ve been inundated with tunes this month as the players that be get their bounce back and provide you with a summer of hot soundtracks. First up is the magnificent Don’t Be Leftout (Mixed by Matt Tolfrey & Ryan Crosson) on Leftroom. A Visionquest / Leftroom hybrid this house compilation has more bounce than a bunny on Sunny D. Best you hop on board! … Continue reading Wildblood + Queenie’s April Wonders
Dear Caroline Farrow, Last night you shared your views about equal marriage on BBC1’s Question Time. You said you believed marriage was not primarily about love but a child centric institution. That people like me should not be married and could not raise children. Your blog recounts your QT experience as well as reiterating your views on the legalisation of gay marriage – a state of affairs … Continue reading Questioning Question Time’s Caroline Farrow’s child centric marital view
Oh Madonna, Madonna, Madonna, Madonna. What are you like? Flogging me a skin product that appears to only work if one can parade around life solely shot in black and white by some hip film director isn’t your greatest moment. A parody-like ad even the most famous of undie floggers wouldn’t have sunk to, all it induces in me is the desire to not cuff … Continue reading Madonna puts apparently meaningful words in a line to sell skincare

A second and I was addicted to the rewind … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: La Fleur Feline EP (Art Of Tones / Jesper Ryom Remixes)

There I’ve said it again. Here’s hoping for a revival. Neneh, Robyn and sowesters. Neneh’s new album Blank Project out now on Smalltown. Grab ‘Out Of The Black’ feat Robyn on iTunes. Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Neneh Cherry feat. Robyn Out Of The Black

Today is a good day. The sun shone. Spring was definitely in my step. And so it seemed only appropriate that I greeted the news that Hercules & Love Affair were dropping their latest longplayer in May with the hankering for dodgy nightclubs, you know, the kind with sweat dripping from the arches, dark corners full of promise and a dancefloor filled with like-minded dancing … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Hercules & Love Affair The Feast of the Broken Heart
Queenie’s new Strip Service has just made its debut in the March edition of Gscene. Like she does. It’s about me and my persona’s natural resting position come birthday time. Like I do. Grab more Queenie Strip Service on Tumblr. She’d like that. Continue reading The missus and her Strip Service

Whether it’s on the radio or in front of the dancefloor, here’s a fella who just loves to move your dancing feet. I caught up … Continue reading Queenie meets Lil Alex and talks Gaydio, wompy basslines and his naughty secret
