Ella Fitzgerald, Sunshine Of Your Love
As mentioned below (don’t worry, I won’t be dropping Spastik – unless it’s a specific request), I’m privileged to be playing some records this weekend at a blessing ceremony for a wonderful lady and her fabulous chap (they tied the knot in an cere… Continue reading

Plastikman, Spastik
Posting Paperclip People’s Throw last week made me head to the crates and dredge up more classic techno gems, and heck, they don’t come better than this one. So many memories of nights on dancefloors in clubs and various I Love Techno festivals sa… Continue reading
Belle & Sebastian, The Boy With the Arab Strap
Just because it’s the most cheerful song on the planet. And we could all use a smile on a dreary-as day. And it reminds me of New Year’s 2004/2005 in Glasgow, where. post-Optimo, I made my friends pass up the opportunity to go back to “this guy St… Continue reading
Primal Scream, Don’t Fight It, Feel It
Shame – I realised when I got home last night that I had been “that car”. You know, “that car” you sit next to at the lights with a bass boom so loud it’s rattling the side panels; “that car” that turns you instantly into a 70-year-old as you thin… Continue reading
Paperclip People, Throw

Warren G feat. Nate Dogg, Regulate
For a very, very brief period of my life, Nate Dogg provided the soundtrack. Let’s be completely honest, I’m no Nate Dogg authority – when I think of Nate Dogg, it’s always as a collaborator; I have next to no familiarity of his solo body of work,… Continue reading
Diamond Dub, Tangoterje
I’m in the throes of a fixation fixation – obsessing on themes (not enough to write a post every day, mind – sorry about that, it’s busy times at Putting Out Fire Towers) and flogging ’em til I get bored. Sorry about that – just bear with me til t… Continue reading
MARDI GRAS SPECIAL – Bo Dollis And The Wild Magnolia Mardi Gras Indian Band, Handa Wanda
If you haven’t seen the excellent Treme yet (which is very likely if you’re reading this in New Zealand, as it hasn’t screened on NZ TV channels yet), you’re missing out. While it’s no Wire (yet), it has its own special merits, not the least of wh… Continue reading
