I want this jacket
Found via the rather wicked People of Walmart that I would recommend giving a casual glance when you have a sec.
This guy in the picture seems to do a fine line in terrible cover versions (stick with it until 1:43), even more awesome artwork and a very dubious German impression
Reckon this would work for me?
Now that's what I'm talking about!

I just stumbled across these. Some great videos on YouTube showing all the original samples from a load of dance classics. I knew quite a few of these sources already but there are loads here that I’ve never heard before. Check them out…
Eric B & Rakim – Paid In Full (Coldcut’s 7 Minutes Of Madness Mix)
Dee Lite – Groove Is In The Heart
Bomb The Bass – Beat Dis
There are loads more, check out DJ Prince’s channel on YouTube for the rest

Alexander is one of my favourite r&b/soul singers. The man can sing his heart out and has a super distinctive voice that always sounds totally wicked. In the 80s he was a big, big deal selling out arenas all over the shop and rightly so, his hits from back there were absolutely top.
He usually rocked the suave gentleman look while on stage: sharp suits done well but there are a few videos of him around where he is showing some amazing fashion sense off. I wish I looked as cool as him in these clips
The yellow suit
Saturday Love – what a tune. This yellow suit is seriously amazing, not many people could pull this off but Mr O’Neal makes it looks fresh. Shame about the crappy clip 🙁
Furry collared leather jacket, white scarf and argyle jumper
Innocent – another great tune but, wow, this outfit is off the hook. No wonder all the girls are all over him, this look is increds. I have to admit he doesn’t look as good towards the end when the jacket comes off to reveal a tank top underneath…should have kept it on, pal.
Totally badman tracksuit with white shirt
Saturday Love again, I honestly can’t explain how much I love this tune. Anyway, that’s not what we’re on about here. The fact that he’s crooning away wearing what appears to be a black & white tracksuit with a shirt underneath is brave. I don’t how but he looks so fucking cool in this.
Alex, I take my hat off to you…
ps just found out that he sang backing vocals on SOS Band – The Finest which makes him even more awesome

Luna-C, main man behind the Smart-Es and Kniteforce Records has a lengthy history of his musical career up on the Kniteforce Revolution website.
I’d really recommend setting aside some time to read it if you’re at all a fan of UK hardcore music or, in fact, you just want to know about one man’s experiences in the weird world of the music biz. I found it to be a fascinating read and really shows an honest account of the good, bad and ugly things that happen in the murky underground dance scene.
Give it a go…
Luna-C’s history of Kniteforce (Part 1)
Plus look at the super cute kids on Top Of The Pops dancing along to Sesame’s Treet…awwwwwww!

Gibson’s definitely my favourite make of guitar. I’ve always wanted to own a Les Paul and still hope that someday I’ll eventually have money spare to splash out on one. For now, I’m happy with my ’76 Explorer which I was lucky enough to pick up back in the late 90s for a pretty good price.
I spotted this lot recently, four of Gibson’s best looking guitars – The Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V and SG – all with a super awesome blackpaint job with a hint of deep red minimal red detailing across the rest of the guitar.
Here’s an image of all except the SG (never really liked them, personally) with a little close up of the skull on the fret board. Click the image for a bigger version…
They don’t seem to make them any more as they were discontinued in 2003. Probably for the best as I can see my credit card trying to jump out of my wallet as I type this…
