Our Tunes

Music shared for a few days.

The Wedding Present - It’s What You Want That Matters

Heard the Weddoes on the radio today….couldn’t resist throwing something up…it was pretty hard to pick one track from the album but I always loved the bass line on this

It was, of course, A TRICK!!!!

Listen to this sublime golf channel edit of the earlier piece of Dexter-baiting total PISH I posted as A TRICK, and marvel at the musical minds that can hear such a track among the shite. Your probably danced to it at Weatherall last week as you ground your groin brutally against the speakers, oblivious not only to your surroundings, but also of your responsibilities as a father, and your rapidly-dwindling dignity. <insert age-appropriate smiley icon substitute here> mx

Classic…phx

Pretty sure I heard this in a lift once.

Jo Jo Zep: Losing Game

This song is specifically posted to infiltrate and ruin dexter’s day.

By mike.

P. 

It is a horrifically camp piece of 80s pop-jazz funk. Read those words again, Varley. 

A horrifically camp piece of 80s pop jazz-funk. 

And one night, likely this summer, at Sammonds’ wedding, I will watch as Dexter dances to it alone, alone in ecstasy, alone in the dark yorkshire moor of his soul, as he realises, like he did to Ned Doheny’s Get It Up For Love as the dawn broke over a Leyton skyline, in 2009, that he actually adores it. Loves it.

Even if this time the kids are there with us and we have to behave ourselves quite a lot, he will love this tune. Mark my words. 

I realise I am ploughing quite the loneliest furrow of my life with this tune, and this assertion. But I make it.

Ruin my day?! Strewth! I’ve heard worse.

It’s gonna take a whole lot more than a couple of bags of methadrone, a few eckies and a bottle of Jack Daniels to get me up and dancin” to this nonsense.

Bring it on ya pooftah.

Fight, fight, fight…! phx

Holst, The Planets:Mercury

Not sure if I’ve already posted this before. But don’t care. If I have, then watch it again, it’s worth it. If not, play it loud through something with bass. Totally rocks.

When I go to heaven and join The Band, I’m gonna play bass like this.

Zepp001 - Dearly Beloved (DJ Nature Remix) [Delusions Of Grandeur]
house with a staggered little off-beat cymbal and other subtle percussive cleverness that bucks up your day right away. 

James Gang: Alexis

Listen all the way through, it’s an amazing tune. mix

Gladys Knight and The Pips: Love Is Always On Your Mind

1977 was a good year. And 2012 will be even better. Universal love to one and all. mxxx

Ronny and Renzo: Heartbreak Theme

Nice…Ph

Been listening to a lot if Motown lately…this one sounds like the inspiration for a lot of songs…ph

listened to this on the radio in the car on the freeway the other day, Paul. It was about 35 degrees. Made me want to drive at 150 and sing madly. Huge. MS

RIP Dobie Grey

Thelma Houston: You Used To Hold Me So Tight

I AM A JAZZFUNKER - AND I’LL TAKE YOU ALL ON. 

Ooooh! An angry jazzfunker…………scary!

The Mighty Mocambos feat. Afrika Bambaataa & Charlie Funk - Zulu Walk

Funkier than george clinton’s bedsheets. One for dexter T. 

Funky Germans. I like it…..for sure.

Mustang: Nebula

there’s a very interesting strand of slow, dark house in London right now. luckily, no one’s cottoned on to it properly yet and it’s still producing amazing sounds like this, sounding a little like Visage, but in a very good way.
