An April night in...

While nights out have been getting more frequent, nights in have also been speeding up - subsequently home listening has been high on the agenda. In a fit of real laziness (posting videos of music is right lazy) here's a few tunes which have been keeping me up and locked in over the last few weeks. All of them big although whether collectively they'd provide a stonking enough rhythm for a Bar Mitzvah is a moot point...



Classic Sheffield business - Nesreen Shah vocalising on this cover of Cheryl Lynn's big disco number. A tough groove for a Steel City (Copyright Chinchilla Price).



New Matthew Herbert with the man singing for the first time. Apparently he had to get pissed to on claret to do it - result? He's got a beard, eye liner and singing about hitting the town with 'a little bag of sparks'. Saucey low key electronic business



Been hammering this for two weeks since I heard the 2 Bears rinsing it on their Ministry of Sound show. Hi-NRG, lovelorn, insanely camp, New Order sampled it - it tucks on the heart strings and gets you in the gut.



On hearing the name Yeasayer I imagined ATP-levels of noodling whimsy. Turns out this is amazing and a pretty positive vibe at its hub. Jesus. I'm turning into a fucking tree hugger. Maybe it's my time of the month...

Easter bank holiday murkage...



Over the bank holiday weekened I either did the following activity or was at least in the same room as when the activity in question was taking place. Pretty fascinating shit I think you'll find... Here we go...

Bowling, drinking, smoking, shit talking, goat racing, cocktails, cards, disco, veg roasting, podcasting, smoking, drinking, dancing, drinking, Nando's, typing, non-smoking, kipping. Phew. It was hectic let me tell you...

P.s Picture below is of this bell end on the tube. He was stood with his bottom in an elevated position. Just like he had a pole up his arse.
