Forgot to post this amazing James Blake cover a while back and the radio keeps giving me gentle reminders - so this is for all you who haven't heard a future genius-in-the-making. Matthew Herbert 's album has also been getting a few late-to-the-game spins and 'Leipzig' is a highlight. Finally, Justus Kohncke and Alexis 'Hot Chip' Taylor have churned out a cracking wee tune with 'Sorry'. Listen ♫ : James Blake - Limit To Your Love (Feist Cover) ← ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ [...]

Why did nobody give me the Kinks Singles Collection sooner? I could have used this alongside Bowie, the Beatles and the VU in my formative teenage years. Listen ♫ : The Kinks - Till The End Of The Day ← ♥ Listen ♫ : The Kinks - A Well Respected Man ← ♥ Listen ♫ : The Kinks - Victoria ← ♥ [...]
Aeroplane absolutely killed with this Junkie XL remix at Coachella. CMYK weaves R&B samples to spectitular effect. And finally, White Flag demonstrates Damon Albarn 's dexterity for sublime genre-melding. Listen ♫ : Crookers - Cooler Couleur (Feat.

This is more like it. 'All I Want' is the best thing James Murphy has done since ' All My Friends ' - and he's totally channeling 70s Bowie. The new Scissor Sisters track 'Invisible Light' is also a pleasant surprise sounding like a fantastic amalgamation of Hercules & Love Affair + Pet Shop Boys (I know that sounds shite but you'll have to trust me). To round of this post, Royksopp have put out this lovely Steve Reich remix featuring gorgeous synths and unwinding guitars(?) I never [...]
After the SEGA-on-crack whiplash that was the first hearing of Crystal Castles 2010 I must say that it's totally grown on me. But that's nothing compared to the 180° siren-call of Celestica, the 2nd track on their new self-titled record, that Zane Lowe played on his show last night. So this is what they call Deep Club.

My favourite album right now is 'Weathervanes' by Freelance Whales . You literally couldn't stop me listening to it. Literally . Yes the guy has a Sufjan Stevens boy-crush. Yes 'Hannah' has lyrics that crib from ' Decatur, Or, Round Of Applause For Your Step Mother! ' Yes 'Broken Horse' is almost a carbon copy/lovechild of ' Casimir Pulaski Day '. But I don't give a shit. You'll thank me later....player hater. Listen ♫ : Freelance Whales - Hannah ← ♥♥♥♥ [...]
Last post of the week and it's a good one. First heard this dark and funkadelic Golden Bug jam on Aeroplane 's February Chart Mix . I've also been playing The Radio Dept. 's new album to death and this is another highlight that I think I'm allowed to post. Lastly, this Redial remix reminds me of a GRUM remix and that can only be a good thing. Listen ♫ : Golden Bug - Flamingo ← ♥♥ [...]
PRIMARY 1 has caught my ear before . Been listening to his Demos that are free to download and some are good, some are great and some are just OK. But I guess that's why they're demos...but I can see the potential, and so will you. Here are my favourites, along with the new album track 'The Blues' premiered on Gorilla Vs. Bear . Listen ♫ : PRIMARY 1 - Swimming Pools (burnt copy White Room) ← [...]
Probably the best song on their new album. Great song title too. The magic starts about a minute in... ♥ ♥♥♥ → Add Scottish Friction to your Google Reader !
I'm baaaack! Colorado was something else. Pictures we took couldn't ever do the place justice. If you ever go to Keystone, take my advice and go night-skiing. I was actually getting the hang of it after 5 days - they even started calling me ' Eddie The Eagle '.
