El maestro de Bottin junto a su amigo italiano residente en Ibiza de Dimovi se encargan de recoger un tema del 85 de Murray Head (aquel cantante que tuvo su super éxito con el tema 'One Night in Bangkok'), ahora repescan el tema 'Picking Up The Pieces', y como suele ser habitual en Bottin, un gran edit por su parte y que se incluía en el mixtape que publicaban conjuntamente los 2 italianos llamado 'Can Cosmic #12...

Great edit this one by Bottin & Dimovi for this 1985 classic "Picking Up The Pieces" from Murray Head. I love this cosmic feeling all over the track. Makes smile and feel really good. This track has so many good details that just makes replay it over and over again to assimilate everything. Can you feel it???

So after being buried under a pile of work and resorting to communicating with monosyllabic grunting last week I thought that this week would be a good chance for a Happy Songs Top 5. I don't want happy songs per se rather I want songs that make you feel happy. Not what you put on when you want to drown your sorrows with music and whiskey but those tracks you put on when you need a boost. So this Top 5 is all about where you get your musical caffeine or heck your musical amphetamine. I dug deep for mine [...]

"One Night In Bangkok," a #3 Billboard hit back in 1984, still casts a bizarre spell, and there is no denying that it's got a great deal to do with Head's unforgettable vocal performance, which can best be described as the most world-weary, fey rap you'll ever come across.
So, last night I went to see the Ladyboys Of Bangkok show in Custom House Square, Belfast (free ticket courtesy of Kim Barclay, nice!), and it was actually brilliant. It's hard to believe that they are all men, but short of going up and doing a personal inspection, I'll have to take their word for it. It was a cabaret style affair, mainly consisting of miming to popular songs, with the odd bit of acrobatic performance and audience participation thrown in. A damn good nights fun, it has to be said. If you get the chance to see their show, [...]

A few weeks ago I posted a cover of David Bowie's "Let's Dance". Listening to the original "Let's Dance" put me in mind of another song from around the same time. If you remember "One Night In Bangkok" from the glitzy and gauche mid-80s, then you're showing your age. I remember it. I loved it then and I love it now. Written by Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson (yes, both from ABBA), and Tim Rice (of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat , Jesus Christ Superstar , and Evita fame), "One Night In Bangkok" was [...]

"The original version was one of the main tracks in the 1984 concept album for the musical Chess, and its music was composed by former ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson...The song is mainly a pop song, though at the time it could also have been classed as belonging to the dance music genre" - The verses could be described as a spoken rap by Head, a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek denunciation of the city's moral corruption and comparative glorification of the intellectual purity of chess. Listened to the Remix EP this morning and it has made me remember [...]
Do you remember ? ' Do you remember some warm september... one sunny afternoon... ' I can't resist dealing with a song called 'Say it ain't so' and not evoke Murray Head . Murry Head ? One night in Bangkok ? ouch.. forget this one ! Prefer : Mademoiselle, Children only play (Do you remember...), Cocktail Molotov, Los Angeles, Never even thought, Last daze of an empire, Say it ain't so, Joe... Well, Murray Head ! In a different style, but both inspired and talented, - and comparisons must being stopped here - [...]
Weekend! It's rainy and cold where I am, how about you? Well, when four of the five songs posted below came on consecutively in shuffle mode just now, I figured I should add one more thematically appropriate song to the mix and share. Funny how many bands I have in my music library whose name contains the word "head"... here's a mini-mix with selections from five of them. Can you guess which one DIDN'T play in the magical shuffle that just happened? Hint: the order below is not necessarily the order that the songs played when on shuffle. [...]
It's been a while since I dished out some blog-love but a couple of sites lately have got my attention in a big way. I've just realized that even though I check the site out every few days, I don't think I've mentioned New Romantic Rules before. I initially thought that Rambul was simply recycling links from other places, but lately the content has been outstanding. In particular he has put together 15 (count 'em!) volumes of rare and obscure new wave tracks, including many extended remixes. He is from Poland, and I don't know what [...]
