Although the calendar tells me it's the 7th of January and we were supposed to be in the heart of winter,Athens continues to feel like a tropical city when it's 18 degrees outside the moment i'm writing these words.I know for most of you out there this will sound rather fascinating but for me it starts to feel a bit weird.Wish i could wear my new duffle coat and walk out to winter but that's just a fantasy for now.Today's post is not about the bloody weather in Athens though os lets move to the musical part of it.Stephen Duffy has to be one of my favourite people since i was a kid.Either as a solo artist or with Lilac Time he never stopped to surprise me with the diversity of his musical output.The prize for his most prolific ans weird release goes without second thoughts to the record he releases using the Dr Calculus alias.Designer Beatnik is a record that needs some hard effort to be described.Light years away from everything else he has produced ,it is a mix of euro,ebm,electro,Chris and Cosey,brass,new beat,surreal lyrics,oriental.The easiest way to get the vibe is to listen to the record yourselves.Quite a hard task that is though as the record i quite rare,so here is one of the tracks of the LP I find quite interesting.DR CALCULUS - DREAM MACHINE

Plaid- I've compiled a mix of acoustic and chillout tracks that I hope you will like. I know you haven't got the weather we have here in Scotland so doubt you'll have the dark nights which go with the long (seemingly never ending) winter we are having currently. Please feel free to check my lil' blog for the full tracklist and d/l link. Infact I'm sure I actually found the first track of the mix on your very blog infact. Apologies for apparent blog theft- not my intention, just like to share the music with you. Respect- mondo

Very sexy music here. Musically, Linstrom can learn some tricks from this!
Lindstrom that is!
