  Wow. Its not often I get so perfectly distracted by a couple of lads.

Perfect Distractions: Wild Fantasy live @ Disco Deviant

Some days are long. Some days are exhausting. Some days caffeine won’t do. But some days joyful sounds like that of Wild Fantasy live at Disco Deviant pop into your inbox and everything is all good again. Their live slo-mo disco tinged mix from last weekend’s Deviant night at Audio had me more refreshed than a slip into a iced Lipton.  A real ahh moment I can’t wait … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Wild Fantasy live @ Disco Deviant

Madonna puts apparently meaningful words in a line to sell skincare

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

Perfect Distractions: Neneh Cherry feat. Robyn Out Of The Black

What’s not to like? Neneh is back, rubbing shoulders with Robyn and a kicking snare. All dressed in fetching sowesters. Which happens to be one of my favourite words. Sowester. 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.

Perfect Distractions: Hercules & Love Affair The Feast of the Broken Heart

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
