There are many reasons to like Not Another Corny DJ Promo Shoot. We’ve all been there. Some more than others it would seem.

There’s only so … Continue reading DJ Promo Pics: Been there, done it, bought the obligatory headphone pose
Perfect Distractions: XLR8R Podcast 268 – Kim Ann Foxman
Okay so here’s the deal. No one can release any great tunes, amazing albums or outstanding podcasts till I’ve finished my dissertation. Its just too distracting. Dancing like a loon around my study, tune hunting and being inspired to spend 8 hours gathering together material for a new Wildblood and Queenie podcast is just not helping my studies. Oh bugger. Kim Ann Foxman has just … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: XLR8R Podcast 268 – Kim Ann Foxman

Perfect Distractions: Adele ‘Skyfall’
Today’s a good day. Books found, ideas had, dissertation case studies secured and my Jack got Forde-d. Oh and this entered my veins. Raised on Bassey and John Barry I’ve always been a sucker for strings and Paul Epworth’s Skyfall delivers more strings than a children’s dairy snack aisle. Add our latest millionaire row-er Adele and well all is fine with this Bond addict. Just lets … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Adele ‘Skyfall’
Wildblood + Queenie’s October Wonders

Perfect Distractions: Destiny’s Child ‘Say My Name’ (Cyril Hahn Remix)

Flyer of the year?
As I face the prospect of analysing flyer after flyer after flyer for my dissertation I can’t help but think few will top this beauty from Disco Deviant. Its just so on the button, or if you prefer, the beard. I love it. The night wont be bad either. So good Veet sales in Brighton may drop (its a girl thing!). It made me grin on … Continue reading Flyer of the year?
