50 Tunes For 50 Years: Japan

I once had a friend who was saving herself for David. In all seriousness. Sylvian was all she wanted and wished for and although by the time Japan graced my sound system, I knew I my love life would be fulfilled at slightly different tomorrow parties I was happy to second that emotion. For more than a moment back then in the 80s David Sylvian, Steve Jansen, … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Japan

1BTN IWD Soundsystem at Patterns

I’m not sure if this is what Mrs Ronson had in mind when having noted my early childhood vinyl obsession she made me Class 6 Record Player Monitor at Frinton Primary School. But it seems those days of putting a needle on a “not too exciting” record for everyone to file into the assembly hall to were not in vain.  Although I always wondered if the … Continue reading 1BTN IWD Soundsystem at Patterns

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Midland

I’ve not always been the healthiest of souls, a mind not as strong as my occasionally butch bod would like it to be. (The lack of #50tunesfor50years this past ten days is a testament to that). I always know I’m in trouble when the music goes off, when the moments without a soundtrack become days and when the days without a wiggle become weeks without … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Midland

Still Wild At Heart

I am an international woman (cape optional) and I have my own day. Literally. My birthday is the 8th March, this year my 50th (how the disco did that happen?) and I’d like to think that women across the world have only one thing on their minds as they gather to celebrate and campaign. Okay, maybe not, but sharing my celebrations on a day when … Continue reading Still Wild At Heart

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Xi-Xi

The all-women club night Venus Rising did more than just thrill me in parts of my body I didn’t think existed back in ’91. It changed my mindset, putting me in a path that was to be Shameless and full of regal passion. And it made me fall for the oh so hot soul of house music, the divas that ensured the b.p.m.’s were filled … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Xi-Xi
