birthday beats – angie stone & phil collins
Finally on my music history quest i found out it was Angies & Phils birthday today, so heres my fav track from the Mahogany Soul album and after the jump my numero uno Collins classic….. (more…)
i dont like this song but…
…the story behind this re-issue of this 1987 release is to good enough to warrant a post. On this day in Manchester 1990 The Stone Roses unhappy with the re-issue of their 87 release Sally Cinnamon trashed their former record labels office Revlover FM and threw paint over their cars! LMFAO obviously being Manc they werent very incognito about it and so were subsquently arrested and charged, so worth the story i reckon, can more artists be like this nowadays please?
will you still love me tomorrow?
More good music found on my history trail on this lazy sunday, Dirty Dancing fans will no doubt know this track from The Shirelles, who were the first girl group to get to number one in the US on this day in 1961 way before Sasha Fierce and her semi related minions! I only found out today that not only did the Shirelles launch the careers of some of my favourite songwriters Carole King, Burt Bacharach and Ashford & Simpson but they were among the first women to write their own music. Again Beyonce FALL BACK! LOL
Video Note
Loving how inappropriate this song is for the younger audience members in the video above, maybe thats the reason for the more up beat backing track on the live version?
the last time live…
Im all historical this afternoon and so revelling in letting you know that on this day in 1969 the Beatles played their infamous rooftop gig in Saville Row London. It was the last time they played live, which some people were probably quite happy about considering their dominance through the worldwide charts during the 60′s. However i think it would have been awesome to be walking along the swinging streets of 60′s London and stumble into this impromptu din over flowing from the roof top of the Apple building, totally groovy baby. I wonder what todays equivalent would be….maybe Jay Z doing a Madison Square Garden gig and then retiring from the stage as Hova….oh wait he already did that and then performed live at Glastonbury….. gutless grand gestures do my head in!

feeling all french
Was it Brassai or Michael Pitt that got me fanatical about France this past weekend? Either way it inspired this mix which is a collection of a few the things i watched and listened to whilst feeling all French. The Dreamers soundtrack provided some excellent Jimi Hendrix & Janis Joplin as well as turning me onto an old french singer Francoise Hardy , La Haine gets a little feature in there as well as Amelie & Angel A alongside a host of French artists that were already on my harddrive and of course the YSL advert with my current obsession Monseiur Pitt. Enjoy late night when the lights are low with a glass of red wine, whatever poison as long as it makes you mellow, sink back into the sofa or your lovers arms and let the music play… x

only from one angle…
On leaving Bikram last Wednesday i was confronted by the above advert in a betting shop window, the likeness of Neil Robertson (dude on far right) to a certain dnb DJ from this angle only is uncanny dont ya think….more importantly the dude on the far left also resembles a likeness for one of his MC’s or am i clutching at straws?

waking up in ’93
What a tipsy turvy year it was musically for me. At home i was consuming classic rock & grunge whilst out in the world i was discovering hip-hop. So many albums from that year that i still play loud and proud without cringing. Heres a little sample of my itunes selection today inspired on an even flow from 93 til Infinity
boom kick boom cha
Pop Justice tweeted yesterday that if i work in an office i should play this really loud, i agree but seeing as its the weekend im expanding that suggestion to where ever you are play it loud and boogie with Herr STyler on a Saturday
