Perfect Distractions: Autumn Eleven Short – a film by Wesley Stokes Mellor

I don’t know why I’m surprised when the dearest in my life produce offspring that are so dear to me, so amazing to watch grow up. With parents like that they were bound to come out more than okay and as their kids become adults the creativity keeps coming. Wes is just one of those creative souls I’m lucky to have in my life and … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Autumn Eleven Short – a film by Wesley Stokes Mellor

Perfect Distractions: Joy Division She’s Lost Control

Today I wanted to be a dandy. Today I wanted to be a peacock and today Lewi reminded me why I love Joy Division. No one played bass like Hooky. No one captured that dark brooding madness of my teenage years like Joy Division. Joy is a bassline that hooks you like a sucker and rips your soul onto the dancefloor. And its most pleasurable. … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Joy Division She’s Lost Control

Red Rebel thanx and blatant Black & White Christmas party plug

Perfect Distractions: Maceo Plex we are not bloody worthy

Some DJs just do it for ya. Some Djs just make you wanna dance. And dance. And dance. And hell yeah there’s a certain amount of head nodding when it comes to Maceo (and beard rubbing if you have one) but this guy is truly something special. I await each release with girly excitement which has to be said is not a normal Wildblood state … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Maceo Plex we are not bloody worthy

It’s time to GetUp! and fight for equal rights

Not since Christian the Lion (cheers Wayne) has a video got to me like this one. Often I end up ‘discussing’ the need for Pride, for equality, for acceptance with my father. Pray for the sinner and all that. And he just doesn’t get it. And I guess he never will. Hence his absence at my favourite day when that fine sweet queen of mine … Continue reading It’s time to GetUp! and fight for equal rights
