Blog: Lost In Paris

My song of 2010 sang to perfection by the ever adorable PS22 Chorus

My blogging this year has been sporadic, but its not gone away totally and I wouldn't be a proppaah blogger if I didn't do one of these posts. God, I love a good list me. And you know what, 2010 was pretty pretty good for me. Went to some festivals, Tony Hadley bought me a pint (gold) and I accidentally moved to north London. I managed to make one of my new year resolutions from 2009 (finally going to Japan ) but the great Burt Bacharach meeting is still elusive (hang on Burt, this year I'm coming [...]

Fabric resident, Bugged Out regular and freshly hand-picked by Phantasy Sound (Erol Alkan's label) for their radio show and club night; Stopmakingme has pretty much nailed the DJ scene. Along the way he's picked up influences from disco through to post-punk and it shows in this debut release "Wrapped In Plastic". Out everywhere on the 22nd November, also check out Stopmakingme's Autumn mix & this interview over at Dazed Digital. [...]

I'm quite convinced that this is the greatest song of all time.

When work takes over your life and you can't find the time for the things you really love (e.g bloggin about nonsense and music), it is very sad. I'm going make a new years resolution two months early and try to post on here more often. First up CocknBullKid (now less the THE). Antia Blay is having a storming Autumn, supporting Marina and the Diamonds and putting out this corker of a record. Check out this true love story of a video.

Ok, so I got told off last night for not posting a blog since 4 EVA. Sorry Mr, you know who you are. Here's 10 things that have kept me from blogging: 1.Got caught in the forest fire action of Moscow. 2.Got up very early in Dublin after going to a very gay festival 3. Went to a photo-shoot high up in the sky. 4. Saw a Panda [...]

Chilly Gonzales ' debut film, Ivory Tower, written and staring himself is nearly upon us. There's a single out on Boysnoize Records next week called I Am Europe. The video is a bit of a trailler for said movie. This is it. I think I just threw up with excitement. Wanna read more about Gonzo and Lost In Paris' ongoing romance? Yeah you do.

We thought it'd never happen but L.I.P have made a flying visit into Glasto. Its so freakin hot we're melting but have enjoyed the bands we've seen. Marina and the Diamonds next - so very excited.

Feel a bit like this today. These videos are helping.

Writing this with a very jet-lagged brain and five espressos in my belly so advanced warning for typos. I had the pleasure of going to Vladivostok on Friday for one night, one gig, 26hrs on a plane, one body guard, five pole dancers, three litres of vodka. The best bit?! DJ cake!

This evening Lost In Paris found ourselves in the presence of Kylie. As an obsession that's seen Alex make me watch numerous tour documentaries and try and learn dance moves, it was fabulous to see the tiny lady in person. We love you KM. Thanks for the cocktails and pressies.

Alex Bean vs Jerry Bouthier at Pure Groove ce soir!

So, I'm in Lille for one night only, I'd heard good things but it's not exactly the city of light...

Although the image attached to the video makes me nervous, I am utterly overwhelmed by love for this song. It makes me dream of skipping through Greenwich park in the summer, barefoot, whilst shouting Keats' poetry at strangers and pausing only to marvel at the beauty of life and a take in a Solero. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are playing at the Scala on June 15 . Someone want to buy me a ticket?
