SO! Here’s a list of tracks that I’m currently STOKED on (been watching too much LA Ink). In this mixtape post edition, I’ll be calling forth music of the past and JUXTAPOSING it against some fresh 2009 tracks! And in the interest of trying to avoid confusion I’m segregating them into to categories NEW(ish) and [...]

The amazing A1 creep KLAUS NOMI doing Lightning Strikes WHICH I didn’t realise until I tried looking it up on Spotify, is a cover version! The original is almost as surreal in that the lyrics sound completely mental in a seemingly normal context! They’re actually both amazing in their own ways! CHECK-IT-OUT: ♫ Lou Christie [...]

Now for a selection of the musics I’ve been listening to over the past few weeks/days! This post’s theme is lo-fi dance music! ♫ Magic Wands – Black Magic and Black Magic (L’amour La Morgue Edition) (MP3) Electropop with guitars, and obviously being part-goth, I can’t deny that I’m completely in love with the repetitive [...]
Boyz VS Girlz vocals! I’m going to try keeping my reviews short and SWEET rather than crazy person’s rants! Haha ♫ Dead Man’s Bones – My Body’s A Zombie For You (MP3) This song is like a doo-wop arcade fire with empowering child chorus backing vocals! The end where they’re spelling out ‘Z-O-M-B-I-E, zombie!’ is [...]
New loves and this… ♫ Shakira – Shewolf (MP3) this too: ♫ Health – Die Slow (MP3) And finally an old flame… ♫ Del Shannon – Runaway (MP3)
As this is an excessively long post I thought I’d liven it up with pictures by my favourite artist – Henry Darger! I first actually saw his paintings actually in the flesh (not even on the internet first or anything!!) at a weird exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. I was there [...]
♫ Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons – The Night (MP3) GOD! I can’t tell you how much I’m loving revisiting this track at the moment. I have such a crush on 60s (and early 70s) soul songs that pit powerfully upbeat backing tracks against crushingly dark lyrics. This one is definitely in the top [...]
Thank you to everyone who came to Creep Club last Thursday. It was a lovely first night; a mass of sweaty kids thrashing into each other and singing along to everything from The Contours to Girls Aloud, Gala and The Pixies. I think my favourite bit was tables and chairs going flying as Nirvana’s Breed [...]
I’ve got this thing with records now where I can only pay them full attention a few months before or after release. It is literally unbearable for me to listen to stuff in the midst of a hype storm, I have to come to it in my own time. This has happened most recently with [...]
♫ YACHT – Psychic City (MP3) I’m totally hearting this new song from YACHT which Pitchfork posted as a preview from their new album. Simple plodding electronics and cute lyrics – I love all of it to death (bar the bit at the very end where they skip and cut up the vocals/beat which sounds [...]
