If there is one tune on this planet that captures being autistic it has to be Björk’s Hyperballad. Okay, I live on a hill and not a mountain but whilst view is beautiful there is no pile of car parts, bottles and cutlery at the bottom of our garden steps (although Hubbell’s keen on his collection of clothes pegs). Instead, there’s a pile of my … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Björk

We’ve all had our Bowie TV moment. You know the one. 1972. Arm dropped casually over Mick Ronson’s shoulder as he performed Starman on Top Of the Pops. Moments that made us feel we were no longer alone, that we were part of a tribe. I can’t sit here and claim that when I saw Frankie Goes To Hollywood on Channel 4’s The Tube one … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Frankie Goes To Hollywood
If music be the food of love, then it’s definitely time to get to play on as we head into February with our tail feathers wiggling. Be it with the electrifying electronica of the wavy wonder that is The Sound of Valkea Vol.1 on Valkea Music, the seriously sublime world of grooves of Night Noises Vol. 1 on Night Noise Music or the Digger Factory … Continue reading Our Gscene February Wonders

A glorious man called Mark I had found myself house sharing with (responsible for enough gay life lessons to last me, well, a lifetime) was a disco devotee and always happy to confirm my first childhood love for the cowbell and strings. But … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Nitro Deluxe
Today I’m feeling a little under the weather. Lurgy incoming. So it seems only right that I head towards the warmth of Nat King Cole. The crackling 33 1⁄3 rpm of Love Is The Thing from my early childhood that brought charm and cosiness to those long evenings spent on my Nan’s black leatherette sofa as I battled the scratch and static on my tight … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Nat King Cole
There is nothing so important to me as being strung out. Right proper strung out. Thanks to a childhood of being raised on the good stuff, oh how I loved my Nan’s Mantovani vinyl box set, I soon became accustomed to wanting my tunes filled with strings. And with disco endlessly glittering with the most glorious of instruments on earth, my life was destined to … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Debbie Jacobs
