Everything I’ve ever done, everything I ever do

Time, methinks, for a little trawl through some of the "newer" music that's caught my ear of late...

First up, something that's not actually new at all - it was actually released in 2018, but I only recently stumbled across it, so it's as good as. Never heard of the "hooker" before, but Gaby Amarantos is an old fave here at Dolores Delargo Towers. I love this!

By way of a complete contrast, here's a rather angry young lady - with a faboo choon, to boot:

Speaking of "old faves" - I just discovered this new one from Yelle, a band I first picked up on way back in 2009...

A brand new one from a brand new artist; how about a bit of "gay electro-go-go"? And why not?

Quite the regulars in this particular "pick of the pops" slot, Parralox have decided to take a trip on the Tubeway...

Saving the best for last, however...this is what happens when three world-conquering talents collide - one of the most fantabulosa collaborations in years (& years?)!

[Look out for the "supporting characters": one of the original Blitz Kids Princess Julia (who appeared in Visage's Fade to Grey video), Lavinia Co-op (a founder member of Bloolips drag troupe with Bette Bourne, and one of the subjects of Lexi's Riot Act trilogy) and performance artist Nando Messias...]

Wow. Just wow!

As ever, let me know your thoughts, dear reader.


PS As if little Olly weren't busy enough - guess who he's collaborating with next?!

To the seat with the clearest view, and she's hooked to the silver screen



David Bowie received a singularly heartfelt tribute from Annie Lennox and Gary Oldman at the Brit Awards 2016 last night. As if that wasn't great enough, members of Mr Bowie's tour band (including the legendary Earl Slick) were fronted by the latest "big thing", Kiwi songstress Lorde, for a rather poignant version of Life on Mars.

Here's the whole segment:


Tribute, indeed.

I get up again, over and over



Poor Madge - I wonder whether GaGa was in the background in that dressing room?


I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over


Indeed she does.

Madonna falls off stage at The Brits.

According to all sources, her triumphal recovery and performance was still the best thing about the whole ceremony...
