MIS-TEEQ — ‘Strawberrez’
Read post

I’ve been going out with her for eleven years and I’m still little better at picking out clothes she’ll like. ‘Do you see anything here you think I should try on?’ ‘What about that?’ ‘You’re jokin[…]

Personal Info-Break
Read post

Personal Info-Break: A lifestyle revolution (and phone bills) mean I’m going to be avoiding using the Interweb from home as much as possible. But if you fancy talking to me on AIM I will be online during ‘working’ hours more often, […]

Keith and the Impact Allstars — Raindrops
Read post

Keith and the Impact Allstars — RaindropsIt looks innocuous enough: more so when you find out it’s a cover of “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head”. Keith could be one of any number of reggae Keiths, known or unknown. It’s[…]

Exposé — ‘Point of No Return’ (1985)
Read post

All signs are pointing towards Exposé lately. This past month definitely; this past week most strikingly. Last weekend I finally upgraded Exposed to CD ($1.99 at the Princeton Record Exchange!). And just yesterday, the best eBay score of my life arr[…]

THE MONOCHROME SET — ‘The Jet Set Junta’
Read post

Short, witty, and sharply cut, this is my idea of a good ‘political’ song, which I’m told we need more of right now. Like an editorial cartoon, it makes its point, jogs the memory, and raises a grim smile, and it’s over in two[…]

House music’s Bilderberg Group met in Miami last week and you can bet that Kissinger (Morillo) and Clinton (Fatboy) will have decided that this track is going to be one of the biggest of the year. It’s certainly one[…]

DJ Lance Lockarm – “Lose Yrself Fitter”
The notion of The Voice in pop is a long standing Freaky Trigger/NYLPM obsession – just check the archives if you don’t believe me. Little thought seems to be paid to the matching[…]

LISA MAFFIA — ‘All Over’
Read post

I seem to have spent three years of this weblog trying to think of different ways to describe ever drier beats and ever sharper synth lines: R’n’B — even British R’n’B, who’d have thought it! – just keeps get[…]
