Sometimes its all about the sun on your back (or the memory of it), dancing and prancing with friends, good time Sundays and plenty of vocals.

Perfect Distractions: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ‘Same Love’ feat. Mary Lambert
Joy doesn’t always come from the usual. Joy sometimes comes from left of centre, from people and places you’d least expect.

Campaigning can be subtle, campaigning can … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ‘Same Love’ feat. Mary Lambert

Horse Meat Disco on the tellybox
After Luke Howard wiggling his fine arse at the Olympics Horse Meat Disco on Channel 4’s House Party comes in a close second place for my favourite piece of telly in 2012. DJing is about the joy, the love, the wiggle and in HMD’s case, two mighty fine beards. If this performance doesn’t win a Bafta for best end to a live broadcast then I … Continue reading Horse Meat Disco on the tellybox
Perfect Distractions: The xx ‘Chained’ (Official Video)
Before today my visuals to Chained came courtesy of roadtrip through Kent accompanied by a heavy heart and an October dusk. Today I have water and swimming and sodden stars to fill my head.
