A not so perfect distraction: Disability, Duncan and people like me

I’ve thought sometime about writing this, coming out like this. Yes, I look kinda normal from the outside and, yes, I can occasionally jump up and down in a DJ box or stomp around town in a Wildblood way. There are days I can be okay and there are days I can’t. But, like many, I’m dreading the days of April. Why? Because in the … Continue reading A not so perfect distraction: Disability, Duncan and people like me

Perfect Distractions: Nina Kraviz Boiler Room Berlin DJ Set

Today I’m supposed to be writing my dissertation conclusion. You know, concluding months worth of research and saying something precise, insightful and damn wonderful about the images used in gay clubbing promotion. Except I’m being distracted. By a moving image I can’t quite pull myself away from. Naughty me. So I blame the lass. Stop playing such decent beeps and bangs, stop dancing all stylish … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Nina Kraviz Boiler Room Berlin DJ Set

Perfect Distractions: James Welsh ‘Craven EP’ Futureboogie Recordings

Life is so crazy. But then I guess if Bill Murray comes to your house party, all is forgiven Mr Craven. More retro wonderful than Newsround, more Casio than, well Casio and destined to bring the sun back to Blighty. Roll on those terrace parties. Roll on a crazy summer.

Perfect Distractions: Thomas Gandey Love Is Love

Spring and strings. Love and love. That’s what keeps me going. That’s what makes me grin. And this makes me grin like a girl possessed. I’m still not sure why it always has to be the strings.

As the world finally gets that deep house I’ve banging on about, I’ll always tread … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Thomas Gandey Love Is Love
