fallen angels
Amazing version of Massive Attacks Karmacoma from Wong Kar Wai's ''Hong Kong by night'' masterpiece Fallen Angels.
the enigmatic mr Lawrence
This is a song i had posted on this blog about a year ago.I just thought it would be cool to post the video for the song featuring my teenage hero without a last name.The mysterious Mr Lawrence shows you how you can look cool wearing while singing one of my favourite lyrics ever ''I just wish my life would be as strange as a conspiracy''.If there was a title for the most esthete band in the world Felt would effortlessly win it.They were,are and will be the most spectacular band in my world.

''a better life''
This is a song i have been meaning to post for a long time now but today's news came as a real stormer and in a really sad way the song found it's way to the blog after all.Liam Maher,the frontman of the legendary London ''baggy'' gang Flowered Up,died this morning.Flowered Up were a band that epitomized the indie dance craze of the early 90's adding their London signature to a sound that was blooming at the time in Manchester.Flowered Up were not just a band that jumped on the ''madchester'' bandwagon like so many bands in the UK did at the time.When the ''sound of the north'' was collapsing to it's foundations Flowered Up were releasing their best material and showed the full potential they had if they were to embark on recording a new album.After the 1992 epic 12 minute hymn to the working class acid hero,Weekender the band produced almost 2 years later a 7'' single called ''A better Life'' which was a showcase of what the band was cable of doing 2 years after the tombstone of the madchester era.The single was limited to a 500 release,as the band split up just before the original release.For a guy like me who grew up recording the Weekender video on VHS from TV and idolized Liam's cockney accent on songs like It's On and Phobia it's a bit of sad day today.''Weekender just make sure what you do makes you happy''.

radio days
Trippin with the Balearic Brothers
''The collaborations with Kissing The Pink came about after
we filled in for Seb Fontaine on Radio One''
Diesel from X-PRESS 2 explains.''They wanted us to do
a half-hour Balearic mix as part of the show.One of the tracks
we picked was ''Big Man Restless'' by Kissing The Pink,which
is a Balearic classic.
A week later we got an e-mail from Matthew Roberts
who is mates with the guys from Kissing The Pink.
They heard the Balearic mix and wanted
to know whether we'd be interested working with them.
We agreed to meet up with them and it was quiet mad-
they always been a band we like,but we had no idea they
were still around.''
Words Matt Anniss from International DJ Magazine 2006

I DON'T WANT TO OWN THIS RECORD !
Dave Clarke about Black's ''Wonderful life''.
''I can't own this record ever, it makes me cry.
It puts into words the struggle that i had emotionally.

And I am ,actually doing it.
