i want to go and paint a wall....

go to 2.15....true.

slide away friday....

georgia based synth popper Ernest Greene brings us something to smile softly about...makes me want to snooze on my daybed with my missus...hipster yoof music purveyors pitchfork's accurate description made me smile

"like someone smeared Vaseline all over an early OMD demo tape"



enjoy...(and buy..!!)...also quite liking dungen and the drum breakdowns ala the genius of james gadson, earl palmer, paul humphrey and roy porter...

and also this...

on the poppy front...and look out for the norwegian titan prins thomas's remix...

getting older....and not wiser...

i'm not a fan of kanye to say the least and i'm firmly sure he has a team of 'minions' who are the real source of his 'taste' how can i be sure of this?....i saw/heard this on universe city this morning...lovely...but im pretty sure kanye's not been near a cms recently...



australian 20 year old jonathan keps the summer vibes from down under bubbling up top with this poppy number that makes me wonder where my musical snobbery went...the scarves and hats and gloves are out but the summer from under makes me remember these things i saw when looking up in tarifa, new york ,new zealand, canada and denmark...













the clearest day in new zealand



me and harry lose our minds...



"pardon me..."



same same

cautious stickman...

sad...

skulking...

apples...

so i'm going to have to step up the posting as it looks like i'm up for guest posting on will and alex's lovely site at the end of december...whoo...it was on my mind whilst i was in new york djing oddly playing some things like this (which i quite enjoyed as i was in his hometown, which reminds me of a little story about kim catrell if you want to ask me sometime) erm...anyway i saw this...



on the shelf of what may be the best book shop in new york if your ever there, or if your round the corner on crosby you could be good citizen, get some respite, have the best pink lemonade in ny and help out a great cause...or maybe just pop into here and get baked eggs (but order something else too like the ham baguette, then you've truly got a meal to prepare for a day of meandering...come on, anyone needing to promote themselves that little is doing something right i proclaim...

heres my top 5 ny must do's

* eggs benedict here...(also open all night)
* burger here...find it on the left side where the red curtain is, go just after lunchtime and there should be no queue (the veg option is grilled cheese is pretty good apparently)
* get 1 subway card between you it's cheaper and you can use it together as a ride anywhere costs the same
* its expensive but you can allways find more 'stuff' here





* always ask to change you hotel room you've been allocated, you'd be amazed what "is there anything else" gets you in the big apple...this is a bit of advice paula scher gave me last week at dinner after her fantastic dandad talk...(next up a wanker...maybe..?...sorry neville)

so maybe i should get some of my festive faves out before i subject the stylish it's nice that kids to some of them...
