Afternoon!

Just a quick one and a basic layout today folks because my software is playing up! First up this is simply the best youtube video I have seen in a very long time! Those of you who live or socialise in or around Shoreditch will laugh the hardest! Its like a modern day Nathan Barley. My pal Tom says “i’ve watched 3 times now… feels like revenge on them just watching this, feels good :)” Gawd I know SO many idiots like this and boy would I love to have the nerve to send this to them direct, telling them what a twat they are – maybe I will actually.. Heh heh heh!

Sit back – turn it up and enjoy…

BEING A DICKHEAD IS COOL

I have been giving lessons in “proper” techno today on my facebook wall as I feel a few people need them! Don’t get me started on a rant about the fake ass newbies “techno lovers” loving Mills and Hawtin please! There isn’t space on the whole internet for how long I could rant on! Here are my 4 picks that just sum it up, I hope you enjoy and remember the good times – shout to anyone who went to Lost, Growth, Labrynth, Absolute, Complex, Club UK, Bagleys and all the others inbetween – you’ll love these:

GREEN VELVET – FLASH

PLASTIKMAN – SPASTIK

JOSH WINK – DON’T LAUGH

JEFF MILLS – THE BELLS

And a lovely mix courtesy of the THE ADVENT (thanks to Lofty for this!)

And here is the compilation that sums up my fave era in Techno: CARL COX FACT

if you don’t know any of these tracks then you don’t deserve to say you like Techno as far as I’m concerned. You should be strung up, covered in jam and left in near some beehives. Its like someone being into modern rock bands and they have never listened to Led Zeppelin – wouldn’t happen.. Get a grip and get listening folks!

Did you know that Will Young and Groove Armada made a track together? No! Nor did I?! That got under the radar… HERE ITS IS. It badly reminds me of Bronski Beat’s Small Town Boy! BADLY! Tres gay! Tres catchy!

I went out and got very drunk last night and didn’t even remember how I got home! Even worse was waking up this morning and TRULY believing it was Saturday! Then realising it wasn’t! ARGH!!! Tell you what though – don’t you love it when you jump up on a Saturday shitting yourself that you are late for work, only to realise its the weekend.. Awwww man.. I love that more than kittens and cheese and stuff.. Hope I get some of that tomorrow! Anyway – as its NOT the weekend yet that means I can still tell you what’s going on.. Recommends for the weekend ahead are below!
