50 Tunes For 50 Years: Fleetwood Mac

One day a few years back out of trainspotting curiosity I decided to sort my iTunes in order of plays. Who would have the most? Who would be the tunes I played over and over, much to my neighbour’s sheer, erm, joy? The underground house DJ in me was hoping for some Chicago goodness, the glitter queen after some disco, whilst my natural resting face … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Fleetwood Mac

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Solange

Every week when I was a kid we’d head up the path beside our house to my Granny’s bungalow to pay the rent on 60 Pole Barn Lane. And every week after she filled in the rent book she’d hand over two Fox’s Glacier Fruit and our 10p pocket money. The candy was a thrill but the pocket money was the escape pod. Ten whole … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Solange

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Japan

I once had a friend who was saving herself for David. In all seriousness. Sylvian was all she wanted and wished for and although by the time Japan graced my sound system, I knew I my love life would be fulfilled at slightly different tomorrow parties I was happy to second that emotion. For more than a moment back then in the 80s David Sylvian, Steve Jansen, … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Japan

1BTN IWD Soundsystem at Patterns

I’m not sure if this is what Mrs Ronson had in mind when having noted my early childhood vinyl obsession she made me Class 6 Record Player Monitor at Frinton Primary School. But it seems those days of putting a needle on a “not too exciting” record for everyone to file into the assembly hall to were not in vain.  Although I always wondered if the … Continue reading 1BTN IWD Soundsystem at Patterns

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Midland

I’ve not always been the healthiest of souls, a mind not as strong as my occasionally butch bod would like it to be. (The lack of #50tunesfor50years this past ten days is a testament to that). I always know I’m in trouble when the music goes off, when the moments without a soundtrack become days and when the days without a wiggle become weeks without … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Midland

Still Wild At Heart

I am an international woman (cape optional) and I have my own day. Literally. My birthday is the 8th March, this year my 50th (how the disco did that happen?) and I’d like to think that women across the world have only one thing on their minds as they gather to celebrate and campaign. Okay, maybe not, but sharing my celebrations on a day when … Continue reading Still Wild At Heart
