(Dan, look what category its in)
I know its a ubiquitous image when thinking about dance music but whenever I see one I have to stop and appreciate how cool these look, not forgetting what legacy those squelchy noises have left us. Via
My first wheels: Jim my Mini 1275gt
Published December 22, 2009 Music , Wheels , counter culture Leave a Comment
When I was 18 years old I went out with a fresh driving license and £700 burning a hole in my pocket. This is what I came home with. An original 1977 Mini 1275gt in white with a red stripe. My mum went mental as it was a. pretty much uninsurable for me and b. when she kicked it her foot went through the wing as it was made out of filler and other stuff that wasn’t metal. I didn’t care as it had massive front rally lights and went like stink, he was called Jim after Jimi Hendrix. Incidentally Marc Bolan was killed in a 1275gt. Via

Blissing me out and taking me to sunny havens.

From Rat Rods to F1, car culture and motorsport without adonoids.
Let the right one in
Beautiful, tense and tender Vampire movie. Bonus points for the Morrissey title reference and the boy character looking a bit like me when I was 12 years old.
Morrissey – I m Throwing My Arms Around Paris
Classic Moz, shame Patrick O’Dell didn’t direct this video and the package would have been perfect
Surfing
In all its forms from the worldwide spectacle of the Eddie to the tea and cake cottage industry of Revolver.
The Hangover
Just how you imagine stag dos should be. Unfortunately in my experience its more like 10 bored blokes trying to get into a club you’d never normally dream of attending whilst wearing an ill-fitting polo shirt. Shame.
Clarks are back (again)
A new pair of Desert Boots made their way into my closet and I even went into the loft for my old Luggers. As someone dope once said ‘The best thing since stock in Clarks Wallabies’
Whilst thinking about this years best records my shuffle dropped one from last year which I loved.
Ever fancied seeing the mighty ‘Nix buskin under the Eiffel tower or on top of a bus, then todays your lucky day. Just watch these sweet little films and try telling me Phoenix aren’t the greatest band on the planet! The bit where the just stroll off the bus whilst still playing cracks me up everytime, ace! Here
Heres a couple of ‘alternative’ Christmas songs. I’ve always particularly liked David Gedge I might post some more love for the Weddos one day.
I’m always the first to berate Zane Lowe. I hate his over familiar interviewing style and he always professes to have liked every genre of music exactly at its pivotal moment of importance when he’s actually just a greebo. BUT I have to say the Masterpieces week he does is a brilliant piece of radio and I really enjoyed hearing all this years. (Except for Metallica, they’re only liked by Gameswork geeks and real metal fans think they’re about as cool as Westlife)
Heres a cut me deep track from one of this years.
Always liked this song, I saw a docu on SkyArts about Fleetwood Mac last night and they’ve had a pretty wild ride through the years.
