The Iron Man! Cristina has gone!!

All gone, she's gone, decided it's best, No longer together, now just a past tense. A lack of sharing time, not inviting to stay, An eclipse happened, emotions in disarray. Out of the blue, she said it's not what she wants, During the eclipse, the words cut like sharp taunts. I warned her that July would be tough, But I promised her Canada, that should be enough. Now she can't wait, and I'm stuck in a bind, I need to work in July, but for her, I'm all aligned. It's crazy how it ended, I'm left in shock, She dropped off my camera and flip-flops, like ticking clocks. I still want to take her to Canada, show her the sights, But now it's too late, she's gone without any fights. I'll always remember the love shared, But now it's time to move on, to show I'm not scared. Life goes on, memories fade, But I'll always cherish the love that we made.

Dont cry!

I may have a reason to cry, but I wont, not now, but speaking of crying, Toecutter long term collaborator with V/Vm Test Records, brings his brilliance to the showroom.. Out, in direct it must be a bomb!

Teebs, Bern Rhythm, this video works!

A song from the Deep Blue here.

Specially trawled out of the sea for Valentines day. A deep sea recording with aquatic vocals by senor Elephant Fish. Indeed our fish here does sound like he has the bends or maybe he's just missing company to swim with, either way this tune could well be from a submerged island close to Atlantis.

Carolina Chocolate Drops is having it on the Kazoo - at WDVX's Blue Plate Special

Carolina Chocolate Drops' live cover version of "Hit 'Em Up Style" is nothing short of incredible. From the moment the song begins, the energy is electric, and it's impossible not to be swept up in the excitement. The band's performance is truly captivating, with vocalist Rhiannon Giddens delivering a powerful and soulful performance that is both braw, raw and refined. The addition of the violin brings a unique texture to the song, adding to the overall vibe and making it grassroot, raw and to the bone. What's truly remarkable is how they make the song their own, infusing it with their unique southern style and flippy energy. While the original version of the song is catchy and upbeat, the Carolina Chocolate Drops take it to a whole new elevated level, this performance is something special. Overall, Carolina Chocolate Drops' live cover version of "Hit 'Em Up Style" WDVX's Blue Plate Special is a must-see for anyone who appreciates gre

Bob Dylan the DJ does electronica

Great to see so many people upset with Bob Dylan and his recent DJ sets. Even better to see that Bob is playing electronica! According to this article posted today in the Guardian bob played "an electronica set composed of atonal drones, hyperactive drumbeats".    http://www.theonion.com/article/rock-fans-outraged-as-bob-dylan-goes-electronica-17699 Those who apparently came to see the  "authentic Dylan", the one with the Stratocaster guitar and signature wild blues-rock band where somehow short changed? They didnt see him, mmh! My argument would be, we are talking about Bob Dylan, being courageous, how many decades has Bob been doing this?  Isnt he known for his transformation? Didnt Bob Dylan make leaps with electronic instrumentation? Isnt Bob Dylan a man of progress? I´d say, those who were upset might want to think about progress while asking the question of how many roads must a man walk down? Respect to Bob,
