One of my all time favourite tracks from a criminally underrated jungle/dnb producer. Shogun drops yet another dreamy tune on the wicked Renegade Recordings label. The flip side to this, Paparazzi, is also great and I’d recommend picking up pretty much everything this guy did, they can be found for peanuts on eBay and Discogs

Nice bit of folky, dreamy indie pop here from an English band who seem to be getting a fair bit of attention recently. Meant to go and catch her (them?) at Glastonbury but the usual happened and I made it absolutely nowhere near…

Pretty well known for his wicked We Don’t Have To track – a killer 80s tune, which I’m sure I’ll feature on here at some point, here’s Jermaine Stewart in 1987 with Get Lucky. I wanted to embed the video itself which has him poncing around with a wickedly gay take on the greaser/teddy boy hairdo but all the versions on YouTube are terrible quality and all out-of-sync. Here’s the 12″ mix…

I’ve been playing guitar, on and off, since I was fairly young. If memory serves me correctly there was always an old acoustic in the house and I got my first electric guitar, a crappy strat copy in red with black fretboard, when I was around 10 or 11.
I can’t say that I play that well, although I used to be pretty good when I was in my late teens and played almost every day at school. Having recently got back into playing again I’ve become somewhat addicted to the idea of owning more guitars than I have space (or need) for. This is not a good thing.
This has got to be one of the coolest (well, in my eyes) guitars ever. Dave Mustiaine + guitar + Rust In Peace graphics = too much for me to handle
Sadly, at £1,000+ I’m not going to be able to justify buying it. Must resist buying the cheaper alternative

My buddy Stephen put me on to this one. It’s a little project from Karin, the singer of the The Knife.
I love this track from the album called When I Grow Up and the video is totally cool as well. Well worth checking it in HD on vimeo for full effect
