Música nueva

And so here were are, officially in that "bit-in-the-middle" - and were off en famille to John-John's for an afternoon/evening of jolly japes and a "picky tea". Meanwhile, how about a little selection of some of the "newer" choons that have caught my ear of late?

I heard this on on the radio very recently, and I was hooked!

Here's another one from the "final fling" of Saint Etienne that I loved back in late summer, but neglected to feature up to now:

Twenty-five years on since it was a popular bootleg that Fatboy Slim used to use in his DJ sets, the Rolling Stones have finally given their blessing to the release of this remix/mash-up of two magnificent hits - and the result (even with its AI-generated video) is rather good:

I can absolutely, categorically state that my office party last week was nothing like this:

Yay! Robyn's back...

...as is the very lovely Robbie Williams!

And, finally...

...the campest of the lot [and another Madam Arcati discovery], this!

Thoughts of warmer weather are upon us as we speak - our next trip to Spain is just over a month away!

As ever, dear reader, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the selection...

  3. Jamie xx - love it. it's an instant classic
    Saint Etienne - Nice enough
    Fatboy Slim - The man can do no wrong = Fab
    Kylie - Delightful
    Robyn - Oh I liked that a lot.
    Robbie - He is just adorable and I would so like him to give me a cuddle.
    And, finally.. - I am always over the moon when you like one of my discoveries. I love everything about this video and it's jollity is infectious.

    1. Are you sure it's just a "cuddle" you want from Robbie? 😜

      Gland you enjoyed the selection - and how could I not feature a jolly holiday choon like that? Jx

  4. Robbie's still got it! Maybe after Madam A's finished with him, I could have a go? If there's anything left after The Madam's "cuddles", that is...

    Monsieur Periné's and Kylie's efforts are fun, and I rather like Jamie xx's too. I'm not so keen on Fatboy Slim & The Rolling Stones though - I'm not a 'Stones fan.
    Saint Etienne's "Glad" is delightful, but Robyn and "Dopamine" is the pick of the bunch for me (with Robbie a close second).

    Thank you for the choons, Jon!

    1. You are welcome, dear Mr DeVice. Happy to oblige on the music - although you have/do come up with quite a few discoveries that I love, too!

      Let's see what 2026 brings us. Jx

      PS I am with you both - Robbie's not looking bad at all for his age... {{{wipes mouth}}}
