Dum Dum Girls “Coming Down” New Single
Lovely, but a wee bit too like Mazzy Stars ‘Fade Into You’. They must know they ripped it off right?
“The Keys - Fire Inside” - spotted on Gideon Coe’s show on 6music last night. Very retro, very sunny. The album’s worth a listen too.
Album of the month - March
Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo
Here’s a track from the new Kurt Vile album “Smoke Ring For My Halo”. Top notch! Never listened to this guy before, but I’ll be working my way back from this for sure.

Cabaret Voltaire ‘Yashar’ (1982)
Finding Bowies “Lodger’ album the other day reminded me of another tune I haven’t heard for ages, Cabaret Voltaire’s classic electro track ‘Yashar’. I used to play this in my 80’s set, not sure if anyone really liked it, but I do.
David Bowie ‘DJ’ (1979)
Why the hell have I only just discovered Bowie’s 1979 album ‘Lodger’? It’s brilliant of course. Fans of Talking Heads, look this way.
The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.
— Hunter S. Thompson
Twin Sister ‘Ginger’ (2010)
This one from The Gideon Coe show on 6Music tonight, lovely and wistful. It’s going in my iTunes Wist List that sends me to sleep most nights.
