If You Leave Me Now there will be no more Chicago confessions
There is something so assuring about midnight musical confessions. Talk of tunes that dare not speak their name to those you know will get your hesitation. Yet again its a certain childhood staple soundtrack of radio 2 that is responsible for last nights fess up and todays perfect distraction. I can’t tell if its the bangs or the harmonies that do it for me but … Continue reading If You Leave Me Now there will be no more Chicago confessions
Music is the answer for Julius John Knight, Larry and his Jam
Music isn’t always the answer – but heck the world would be nicer if it was. This tune has been filling my head with sweet soundwaves for a couple of weeks now. And its a better place because of it. Tenaglia may have had his fingers crossed behind his back when he declared ‘just keep on dancing’ but I’m happy to go with it whilst … Continue reading Music is the answer for Julius John Knight, Larry and his Jam

As I sit here I have to ask myself can I really … Continue reading Pride before a fall…Carry on regardless

I have a nasty habit of getting too excited by my birthday. Planning too big. Crashing too hard. And so this year we kept the eighth low key (too low key in Arsenal’s case, bu that’s another story) and saved my dancing feet till the tenth and a gig I’ve been getting a wee too excited about for months. Hercules and Love Affair didn’t disappoint. … Continue reading Blue Songs + bumped up bass = a happy disco face! Hercules and Love Affair Digital Brighton 10.03.11
Shaken by the power of nature – Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal
Words and pictures aren’t failing the global population as they witness the unfathomable force of Friday’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
