Slave - Watching You



I couldn't post Inside Out by Odyssey without pairing it with this tune. Not only are both tunes incredibly similar but I think the lyrics also share a bit of a creepy vibe.

Has anybody got any insight into why these tunes are so alike?

The Shades Of Love - Keep In Touch (Body To Body)

Baby Huey - Hard Times

Blair - Nightlife

Odyssey - Inside Out



Is Inside Out one of the saddest songs that the usually joyous genre of disco ever threw out? Garry Mulholland wrote a fantastic summary of its lyrical content in his book "This is Uncool: The 500 Greatest Singles Since Punk and Disco".

Pleasure - Take A Chance

Brian Bennett - Solstice

Bohannon - Summertime Groove

Toto - Georgy Porgy



Well, we're back from our holidays.

Electric Elephant was immense fun and I want to give a shout out to the revellers on the Low Life boat party and big respect to Mudd for his awesome Sunday afternoon session.

Balearica is dead, long live Adriatica!


Stevie Wonder - Race Babbling


Baby Huey - Running

Two Lone Swordsmen - Shack 54

DB and BE




These guys are just so intriguing and been at the forefront of music for so long it's great to see them back out with a new album. Possibly more coherent than 'Life in the Bush of Ghosts', but special nevertheless.

And TV On The Radio are back out too - sonic treats for us all. Get buying.

David Byrne and Brian Eno - Poor Boy

TV On The Radio - Dancing Choose

Dam-Funk - Dam Funk
