I'm rich, I'm famous, I vanish, I'm glitz



Speaking of plastic surgery...

Here's the magnificent Felix da Housecat and the ever-wonderful Miss Kittin, with possibly the creepiest video imaginable - featuring, among other surgically-enhanced grandes dames, the bizarre Duchess of Alba (Full name: María del Rosario Cayetana Paloma Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Fernanda Teresa Francisca de Paula Lourdes Antonia Josefa Fausta Rita Castor Dorotea Santa Esperanza Fitz-James Stuart, Silva, Falcó y Gurtubay)!


Everybody wants to be Hollywood
The fame, the vanity, the glitz, the stories
One day, I'll become a great big star

You know like the big dipper
And maybe one day you can visit my condo
On the big hill you know like 9-0-2-1-0

Just imagine my face in the magazine
People analysing my look, my body or
Any plastic surgery

You know like the big dipper
And maybe one day you can shake
My hand on the planet Hollywood

You say, I'm not underground
I'm rich, I'm famous, I vanish, I'm glitz
I am the story, I am the star
You know like the big dipper

Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll
It's over
It's over
I decide, it's over

Everybody wants to be Hollywood
And maybe one day you can visit my condo
On the big hill you know like 9-0-2-1-0, oh yeah


If that doesn't put you off "having a little work done", nothing will.

Muzica noua

Time, methinks, to open the musical Pandora's box once more.

Let's open with the official new single mix by Stuart Price of Pet Shop Boys' next single Memory of the Future has just been premiered on Radio 2, and is rather hypnotic and soothing - it is released on 31st December:


Taking the beat up a few notches, here's the latest from the man with the most unlikely real name (Orlando Higginbottom) and band name, to boot - it's Your Love by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and it's totally catchy!

This lady by the name of Janina Gavankar is apparently famous, appearing in some TV programmes I have never seen (True Blood, The "L" Word). She is also a singer and musician, and this, her new single Waiting for Godot is an intriguing musical odyssey indeed (even if she does pronounce it "gu-doh")...

Speaking of anthemic, The Answer, the latest from the super-cool Avec Sans has a hook that gets right inside the brain, if you let it:

[2022 UPDATE: Video now gone from the interwebs, but the track is available to listen via Soundcloud.]

If you love (as I do) your music a bit electro-retro-80s-stylee, then this collaboration between DJ Kris Menace and the legend that is Miss Kittin, Hide is simply perfect - I love it!

At last, we have the new release by our dear friend the amazingly multi-talented Mr Marcus Reeves (who we most recently saw at Gay Lifestyles) - three cheers for the fantabulosa Black Tears:

And finally... Something I just heard last night on Radio 3 (of all places - but it was on their Late Junction slot, not one of their classical music programmes). It's fantastic. It's fun. It's DelaDap and their Georgian Lession 1-6 - all together now!

As always, enjoy - and let me know your thoughts!

Weird Wednesday



It's Wednesday, it's miserable out there, I am back at work after a nice day off visiting the RHS Autumn Show and I am not best pleased, so it's time for some weird stuff, I reckon...

How about a little bit of Barbra Streisand? Not...


Or some Frank Sinatra? Definitely not (it's the wonderful Miss Kittin & the Hacker!)...


Or maybe some acrobatic Muscle Marys, courtesy of El Perro del Mar?


And finally a band that I am never quite sure whether it's a piss-take or not, Noo Yawk's finest - SSION!


Lottery tonight...

"L'amour physique est sans issue"

Four decades on from the scandalous debut in the charts of Serge Gainsburg's Je T'aime, Moi Non Plus, complete with its breathy orgasmic vocal by Jane Birkin, its BBC playlist ban and general moral outrage in the tabloids, I have discovered a fabulous cover version.

Featuring a bizarre combination of one of Germany's top DJs Sven Vath and the estimable talents of French electro-diva (and collaborator with Tiga and the Scissor Sisters to name but a few) Miss Kittin, this is suitably kooky to cheer me up on a grey and grizzly Wednesday...
