Perfect Distractions – Florence and the Machine ‘What The Water Gave Me’

Somethings just make you tingle. Rabbits, that first toe in the Med, the missus, a lass called Florence. Florence and the Machine, my dears, are back and I’m in love. Again. She’s even made me wish I’d said yes to a red head all those years ago. What The Water Gave Me has everything. Mesmeric vocals ladled across a strung out anthem that demands you … Continue reading Perfect Distractions – Florence and the Machine ‘What The Water Gave Me’

Perfect Distraction: 26.07.11 Bjork ‘Crystalline’ Directed by Michel Gondry

Life would not be the same without the beauty of Bjork. No matter what she does to my cats sensitive hearing, I love her. As I plough through promo downloads of the worst kind, desperate to find a diamond in the dross, Bjork reminds me of the reasons music is the answer. It may not always be the easiest of answers but boy is it … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: 26.07.11 Bjork ‘Crystalline’ Directed by Michel Gondry

Some tunes just make you grin. End of. Memories of hot summers, lazing on the sand, messing in the garden, playing in the park, throwing stones in the sea, picnics with the ducks. Time with loved ones. And the combination of Sebastien Tellier, La Ritournelle and Metronomy is bringing grin-fuelled memories of Mr D, the lovely Lene, a cheeky Dan and a skipping missus. Some … Continue reading Perfect Distraction 15.07.11 Sebastien Tellier ‘La Ritournelle’ ( Metronomy Mix )

Perfect Distraction schtumm! presents…Art Department @ Audio, Brighton15.07.11

What is it about a bouncy bassline, a lazy vocal and a repetitive beat that gets to me? When house tunes can so often rely on breakdowns bigger than Arthur Fowler’s to get them on a DJ’s playlist, for me the lure of Art Department and their subtle groove and quality enhanced basslines gets stronger everyday. Today as I plodded through an inbox filled with … Continue reading Perfect Distraction schtumm! presents…Art Department @ Audio, Brighton15.07.11

Its all about the words. The wordsmith in me can’t help but admire this inspired rant by Ralphi Rosario & Wayne G feat. Stewart Who? Someone somewhere seriously pissed off Stu – and I’m loving it.

Perfect Distractions 25.05.11: Leodoris ‘Run’ Fispos Records

I love becoming obsessed with a tune. And there is something about Leodoris ‘Run‘ on Fispos Records that is getting to me right now. Slow, lazy beats and an aching piano compete with heartbroken vocals. It’s just one of those tunes you always greet with the words ‘yes’ when ever it shuffles into you speakers. I’ll play it nowhere, it fits into no set list … Continue reading Perfect Distractions 25.05.11: Leodoris ‘Run’ Fispos Records
