Robyn

I like the Swedish lady. I like her hair, too. I think it might be the antithesis of my own.

My housemate has Robyn's telephone number.

Christian Falk Ft Robyn - Dream On

Mr Scruff

This is for my Dad. Thank you, Daddy!

In dedication to his daily commute from a glorious sea-side town to Hull. As he quotes, "Hull - not the end of the world... but you can certainly see it from here".

Mr Scruff is different. From what, exactly? Well, more or less everything. And if you think his material sounds like something, it is just a wrong frame of reference. The thing that you think he sounds like, sounds like him. Confused?

Perfect travelling track. For time spent on the tracks.

Mr Scruff - Get A Move On [via YouSendIt for 7 days]

Three days to go..

Friday night, Brixton Academy, Hot Chip. This band are literally a corner stone of my musical existence. They add up to much more than any other band and I have so much personal history connected to them.

Have a song to celebrate.

Taken from the first album.

Hot Chip - Keep Fallin'

Retail fashionata victim..

Yes, that would be me. My soul has been all but lost to the demon, profit-seeking, dream-crushing machine that is a particular retail company. Over the coming weeks leading upto Christmas at the promise of more hours at the pathetic minimum wage I shall be there intensely. Probably shedding bodily fluids, weight and sanity, all in the name of increasing turnover of customers and sales.

Maybe I'll be an employment worthy candidate in the New Year at a half decent place of work.

Right now, however, this song is keeping me somewhat distracted whilst at work from my rather awkward situation. And I've got quite a naughty little finger clicking dance perfected to this song.

And being me here are some typical "ice-cream-on-toast" type remixes, that I'm apparently predictable for.

Groovy.

I am particularly fond of this one. It brings out a rather a cheeky smile.

Mr Oizo

Can anyone actually wait for the release of this or is it just turning into a physical impossibility?

The Boyfriend and I have been looking round the internet for anything that comes to be leaked. We've heard a few and to be honest sometimes it just smacks that impatience is a disease made ever worse by the quickening access to everything in the world excelerated by the internet.

Pop Mr Oizo into the Hype Machine and you'll see a selection of various leaked bits.

But I'd like to share this. It actually makes my skin want to burst.

Am I seeing things?

Or is Seasick Steve really on the Paul O'Grady Show?

I have lost it.

Nightmares about Hollyoaks. Mistaking the sudden onset of tinnitus for the adjacent apartments fire alarm. And seeing Seasick Steve chatting to Paul O'Grady and bursting into a bit of improvisation with the once lady man himself!

I'm going to have a lie down.

The Laughing Light Of Plenty

This has floated over the vast Atlantic. You know, how they say, 'across the pond'? Well that is where this has ventured from. And it sounds as every bit well travelled and matured as you could imagine.

The Rose is tantamount to pure euphoric joy.

I daren't say too much about this track. I really daren't. It is just amazing.

The Laughing Light of Plenty are certainly very promising.
