Sly & The Family Stone - If You Want Me To Stay

I have had such a complete weekend, I have danced, eaten, laughed with, complimented, smiled with and much more with I dont know how many beautiful faces........Now it´s time to turn out the light.XX

Purple Rain - The lake scene (1984)

Simon Reynolds : Retromania : Pop Culture's Addiction to the past

Looking good this new book called Retromania, could well be a hit. I will order it now, Simon Reynolds the author seems to be striking more than just a point here. Check it for yourself...

Junior - Mama Used To Say My Mothers Day Dedication 20 years on!

I am playing this at full blast and shaking my booty in the Kitchen, honestly Junior is really doing it for me, I am playing him whilst doing the ironing, whilst drinking tea. This is the best dedication and one of the best Mothers day tunes, I have found today. Do as Junior said, live your life.

The Police - Mother or King Crimson on Mothers Day

I was not aware of this song till now. It's an odd one, written by someone who had a problem with their Mother perhaps? Apparently this was the worst record ever, and the lead singer was asked not to sing this or any other song again, ever, ha! I think it´s a curious and infectious track, written by someone with a vivid imagination. I dont have any problem, but the song here has a twisted melody giving it a creepy edge and attitude. Not a song I would dedicate to my Mother, but certainly a song which must be added to the list of songs which have lyrics about Mothers..

mothers pride george michael

Mothers Day in the UK today. Here is a good one for those Mothers who have watched their young men to out to war. Probably one of the all time great anti-war songs. Expressing the immorality and absurdity of so many of our militaristic actions. Now today, with Kony 2012 over our heads, and the oil and precious mineral war that undelys, it's a good time to think about these points. George Michael sings about how glorification of aggression and martyrdom is endemic and spread from one generation to another.

Solveig Slettahjell - Take It With Me (live, Til Radka, 2009)

I have had a very long and beautiful day today, I have has Sierra winds blasted at my chops, watched Avocet´s and Stilts ride the wave. I have marveled at the wondrous scales of golden fish, belly laughed, seen colors and nature so beautiful, watched vapors mist, cut into pieces by sun rays, eaten Sheppard's Pie, drank Tempranillo from Navarra, taken beautiful photos, and discovered this amazing performance by Solveig Slettahjell. Wow, what a gift of a day, do I thank St. Patric? Life in it´s simplicity can be so, so good.x

Kony Tony Balony ask Who? Ask Michael Jackson, just a Thriller!!

The Madame And The Prince - The Sensuous Black Women Meets The Sensuous ...

Oh Shit, this feels so nice. So hilarious, never heard this played out by any DJ, it´s comical, and acknowledge as an inspiration for some early House tracks. Our diva here shows a man how to ride, ride a pig!!!! Dick´s Revenge indeed. Some strong p; black pussy here, I mean as our woman says, look at that happy pussy, is it good to you baby? Ride it!!!!! Smother that dick!!! Not too fast..

Sam Lee - The Ballad of George Collins

The Ballad of George Collins Ooh, yes...Sam Lees is taking things into another dimension, crossing new territory, long, long overdue. So nice to hear Ballads reworked. As some of you know, I too am currently putting Ballads into new spaces and shipping them into zones they have not been into before. You could call our experiments  Ballads for lost peoples, or ghost tribes. Our new album, will be out by the end of the year, and a demo very soon. Betting back to this little ditty, this has more energy and really hits the nail on the proverbial head.  Cracking combination and meeting point of elements, sounds ideas and people, splendid.

Ilaiyaraaja - Kholapurase Kudasathrivasi feat. S.P. Sailaja & Chorus

Ilaiyaraaja, Ilayaraja, Ilayaraaja, Isaignani, The Maestro... The undeniable prince of Kollywood cinema, India's second largest film industry, Ilaiyaraaja is more than equal to his forward thinking contemporaries in Bollywood and Lollywood in both productivity and experimentation. However, once you have exhausted all possible leads using his various names (and the numerous misspellings) you're faced with the unenviable task of sifting through a 34-year career spanning more than 900 film scores in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada in order to unearth some the heaviest dancefloor friendly electronic pop to ever emerge from Southern India.

Billy Childish & Dan Melchior-Bottom of the Sea

James Pants Beta

Cannot really argue with this one as it drives it´s way through the sound of the city. Traces of so much going on here, Rock Lobster and my old mate Fred from Electronicat to name two.

Heritage Singers I Just Feel Like Something Good

<p><p><p>Just</p></p></p> I just received this via Mr Sharply. Listening to it on headphones is something else. Really quite unreal. Something Good is going to Happen!!! ARRRGH

Kate Bush Cloudbusting

On top of the World looking over the edge. I just know something good is going to happen. Such good feeling here. So innocent, even the orchestration is so dry and straight but it works. Just say it and it could even happen, something good is going to happen!!!X  

Zoffy El Spagetti Zoffy / エルスパゲティゾフィー

<p>S</p> <p>D </p> So many things are so wrong in the World. Kony 2012, seems to be the latest. It's impossible to ignore these things. Zoffy, on the other hand has been totally ignored and that's a shame. Here Zoffy offers us a well know Spagetti Western classic. It's been flipped on it's head taking new form with what sounds like a Sitar and space guns! Odd, this maybe, but it feels honest, and it feels right against an alarming and increasing backdrop of false promises and lies, which are projected upon us daily via the media and Policy makers. Malformed music perhaps, but it seems honest and about right for the current  world climate.   

SPOOKY - Little Bullet - Gargantuan Mix

This one also used to do the rounds in many a car joureny alongside various by Aphex Twin, B-12, and the KLF to name a few. More than 20 years on, but still sounds good!

BLOW - THE CUTTER

Having a bit of a rewind listening to some older retro tracks which were played back in Manchester in the early 90´s at the real underground clubs and Raves like the Limit and Konspiricy. This tune here Blow Cutter, I doubt was played too much at the Hacienda, Graham Park would have lost most of his guts by the time this track came out and would have been playing a much softer less ballsy digestible, smooth house type fodder...

Paul Revere & the Raiders - Baby Please Don't Go (Mono Vinyl Pressing)

My old man used to play this one all the time. You never hear this out ever. I dont remember being in any place hearing this. Sad really as this recording slams it out, loud and clear. The origional by the big man is also worth a look at on Youtube. Have a look for it........

Altern 8 Return To Techno City

So much, so intense right now, for all and everyone. Listening to this Old School Electro vibe just takes things back to another pace. Hope you enjoyed your weekend and day.

frank sinatra nice and easy.wmv

Now that´s away to start something Frank Sinatra in his white suit having beads laid on him. On the road to romance.........If your on the road, make all the stops and take advice from big Frank. As he said, to rush would be a crime.......

Akron/Family - Don't Be Afraid Your Already Dead

Not sure if this will be seen on my blog as Blogger has a bad way of linking videos recently, lot´s of errors. I am not afraid to try post this link, even if it is dead. In life we must carry on........As for this song, it strikes a chord..
