I had planned to add something slightly more current this week but alas I got side tracked by a question on Friday and have been stuck on this puppy ever since… The question – Whats ya two death songs….
This is one of mine, simply for the line “I Hope I’m Together When I Die”.

Early Manchester-based UK house project of Mike Pickering (Hacienda DJ, Quando Quango, M-People), Simon Topping (A Certain Ratio) and Ritchie Close. ‘T-Coy’ allegedly stands for ‘Take Care Of Yourself’.
Better known for the classic Carino this is just magic imo… just got me the North Comp on wax from some german geezer, well stoked as my cassette copy ain’t upto much

I used to listen to this a lot and wonder what proper night clubbing was actually like – I figured it was devoid of rum and coke swigging bogans which was …

Blixa Bargeld, N.U. Unruh and FM Einheit declared war on all conventional hearing habits with the release of their debut album “Kollaps” (Collapse) in November 1981. Tremendously noise-intensive, rhythmically ritual anti-pop was offered as an antidote for the frightened, paralyzed and media-sedated masses. It was made from a range of instruments carefully beaten together from mostly stolen construction site, scrap yard and do-it-yourself supplies, consisting of steel parts, barrels, drills, hammers, saws and an untuned electric guitar. The sound monster awakened to life was crowned by Bargeld’s blood-curdling screams and …

I feel this is worth sharing
Anni the Catto Breaks Record!
My evil Cat Anni, broke her long standing record last Sunday.
She managed to stay under the blankets and asleep till 4.36pm!!
The full time she was there is difficult to establish as we were still asleep when she initially came to bed in the early hours of the morning.
The old record was 415pm, this was on a work day thus making it extra worthy of note.
Also, it was my fault she was soo …
