I love Dungeness: No Lorries No Quarries
I first discovered Dungeness through the words of Derek Jarman and it has had a special part in my heart ever since. It’s beauty is simple. It does it for me in so many ways. Random yet wonderful, still yet strong, queer yet straight, it demands reflection and adoration. It is one of the many reasons why I will always be a seaside girl. The … Continue reading I love Dungeness: No Lorries No Quarries
Perfect Distractions: I’ll be your doormat
There is something about library doormats that get to me. I know, odd. Its a childhood thing.

I love finding them. Usually in libraries, this was at the back of Brighton … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: I’ll be your doormat

What goes around will come around and get ya, get ya, get ya. So says the gospel according to Noir and I ain’t gonna argue with this sexy dub-heavy downtempo house.

Perfect Distraction: XiXi ‘Feels So Good’ That’s my missus that is
Been raiding the archives. Found this. Made my day. Queen Jo (that’s my missus that is) and XiXi. The lovely band what she had a lovely time with. And the lovely Michele. And Lizzie. And Jane. And plenty of maracas’ if I remember right. Gawd bless them, their K-Klass remix and the wonder that was Gordon Knott’s Atlantic Records. Never had Hove produced so many … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: XiXi ‘Feels So Good’ That’s my missus that is

RIP Warren Lovestick
It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Warren Lovestick last week. A true Brighton wonder, Warren always had a smile and a wiggle in his soul whenever Queenie and I saw him and I do believe our city has lost a special son. Always up for the party and a tireless promoter who somehow managed to avoid the disco politics, … Continue reading RIP Warren Lovestick
