Perfect Distraction: ABBA – The Visitors (Mighty Mouse’s Edit For Jim)

To say we love this track is an sequined covered understatement. To say we’ve played this way too many times, way too late, on way too many soundsystems is an even bigger one. And now with this epic Mighty Mouse Edit For Jim those plays will only increase as we feel nothing but the disco love for this lesson in synth pop perfection. One listen … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: ABBA – The Visitors (Mighty Mouse’s Edit For Jim)

Perfect distraction: Róisín Murphy’s Incapable

Music goes silent when I get ill. Beats replaced with balsam, nightlife replaced with Night Nurse. Thankfully I’m on the mend – aided and abetted by my queen of the dancefloor Ms Murphy as she delivers another slice of magic so healing the lurgy spell I’ve been under is banished far away. Regardless of the occasional hacking cough in rhythm to her Skint beats obviously. … Continue reading Perfect distraction: Róisín Murphy’s Incapable

Perfect Distraction: Let Nature Sing

I’m addicted to vinyl, am nothing without strings or a bass line and find a day without radio a day not worth being part of. And yet above all of this, there in the sky and in the trees and by the sea and the rivers is the most important song of my life. Birdsong. A soundscape I cannot imagine being without, an accompaniment to … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Let Nature Sing

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Fleetwood Mac

One day a few years back out of trainspotting curiosity I decided to sort my iTunes in order of plays. Who would have the most? Who would be the tunes I played over and over, much to my neighbour’s sheer, erm, joy? The underground house DJ in me was hoping for some Chicago goodness, the glitter queen after some disco, whilst my natural resting face … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Fleetwood Mac

50 Tunes For 50 Years: Solange

Every week when I was a kid we’d head up the path beside our house to my Granny’s bungalow to pay the rent on 60 Pole Barn Lane. And every week after she filled in the rent book she’d hand over two Fox’s Glacier Fruit and our 10p pocket money. The candy was a thrill but the pocket money was the escape pod. Ten whole … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Solange

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

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

It’s all thrillers no fillers this March as the longplayer love continues to lighten up these almost spring days.
