Just Another Social Profile Really

The title kind of gives away the game on this, but despite the Eamon-style name, this is a really lovely song - with really nasty lyrics, of which my favourite has to be the soon-to-be classic.
I guess he’s an X-Box, and I’m more Atari
I expect this to be #1 as soon as it comes out, so [...]

I’m going on holiday - driving through France to a friend’s wedding in a château in Burgundy, thanks for asking. And I’ll probably be listening to this at some point.
Enjoy, I will.

Despite my disgust at not being able to download Chuck D’s No Meaning No, this, Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind), makes me feel a lot better. A group production by a bunch of friends (though they’re not from Newport),it makes me proud to be British. Come along now, sing along with me:
On the dance floor [...]

This isn’t available as a legal download. The world has gone mad. That is all.
Oh, Chuck D’s No Meaning No samples Jimi Hendrix’s Foxy Lady (the intro) as well as the rather fantastic Get Out My Life, Woman by The New Apocalypse, which has also been covered by a lot of other rather wonderful artists.

I have a friend. He shall remain nameless, though I can share his nom de plume with you: Dr Kenneth T. Noisewater. And every so often the good Dr. shares with me the latest mix to emerge from what he calls the Phat Cave.

Many moons ago, when I’d not been blogging all that long, I wrote about a Radiohead cover I’d heard on Gilles Peterson’s show. It was a cover version of Just by some hip young New Yorker by the name of Mark Ronson; I thought it was pretty good and predicted big things for the lad [...]

In its ongoing bid to have more sub-brands than any other media owner, Absolute Radio recently launched a new niche-station, this time one tailor-made for those of us currently experiencing the dizzying pangs that come with realising nostalgia isn’t just something that happens to your parents: Absolute 90s. And, as part of the ongoing celebrations [...]

Well, it really is turning into a rather wonderful summer here in Blighty, isn’t it?And so, to celebrate that fact, I thought I’d post a slice of summer gold and was going to do just that with D’Angelo’s cover of Roy Ayers’ Everybody Loves The Sunshine.
Until I remembered I’d already written about it.
Not to be put [...]

Whilst it’s probably a manifestation of the reason that England are always shit in international tournaments, I have to say that I found most of the Germany-Spain semi-final rather dull. Yes Spain passed the ball amazingly well, but they seemed to spend most of the first half doing so in order to stop the Germans [...]

It really has been far too long since I’ve found the time or inspiration to post, so it’s good that today I was made aware of something that some of my greatest loves: music (cover versions to, ahem, boot), marketing and my footwear of choice for most of my teens, DMs.
Apparently Dr Martens are 50 [...]
