Right? Give your opinions or add Zombie related music I forgot about in the comments.

TRES AMAZING vs RATSHIT

TRES AMAZING
First runs of the year scored via a `DLF maximum’
Second scoring shot of the year was another half dozen
Actually getting 2 mixes done, shock horror.
Above said mixes not being utter shite
Summer knocking on the door
BMP numbers are up for summer
Dog’s leg is better
End of our `winter of discontent’

RATSHIT
Friends family sorrows
Springs 4 seasons in 1hr
Our `winter of discontent’

Musical memories, with you for life – Body & Soul

I had an awesome dream last night. On waking up I realised it wasn’t so much a dream, it was me reliving a memory: seeing Body & Soul playing outdoors in Tokyo a few months back. It was a pretty special day, my last in Japan before heading off to Mongolia & Russia for a bit, and getting my first real chance to see some proper house in a long time.
It was an outdoor event under big tents which came in handy with the torrential rain that didn’t let up, but most …

Ah summer.  Beer, Cricket, and The Don

Don Drummond that is.

Picked up some new records at the weekend, and it is so hot that reggae can be the only serious consideration right now. Ska more precisely was the order of the day with a Don Drummond record I found getting some serious thrashing from me. In the summer I could (do) listen to this kind of thing all day long. If you don’t know much about this brilliant, but somewhat tragic figure in Jamaica’s long musical history, some youtube and linkery follow below.

Arturo Gatti RIP

Arturo Gatti, 37, was found dead early on Saturday morning in an apartment that the couple had rented at the Porto de Galinhas beach resort, near Recife in northern Brazil.

Gatti, known as “Thunder”, was one of the most exciting fighters of his generation. Born in Italy, he was a naturalised Canadian and grew up in Montreal. He started his …

You’re a better man for getting through the day…

Music legend Chris Knox is reported to be in Auckland Hosptial after suffering a stroke on Thursday. 
Since the Invercargill born misfit started Dunedin’s first punk band the Enemy in 1977, Chris has always been centre stage and always been his own man. His CV is full of artistic endeavours, all of them, bar his time leading Toy Love one of NZ’s most popular bands of the early ’80s, created in the front room of a rambling Grey Lynn villa.
 
 
 
You can follow Chris’s recovery via a blog his family and friends …
