“David Austin, the biggest star of 1984″

In: Innocent Pleasures| Music Video

9 Jan 2012

There are a number of things about this video that are excellent. Let’s go through them, together, like we used to. Like a family.

This video is taken from Cheggers Plays Pops. Never mind sodding Top Of The Pops, when are we going to get a complete re-run of all the tapes of that? Just think [...]

The top five songs by Wham!

In: Music Video| Top Five

6 Jan 2012

In a move that was as inevitable as it is unnecessary, I’ve decided that it’s about time I did a “blog post” featuring my five favourite songs by the popular beat combo that was Wham! and you can read it by running your eyeline across this sentence and all subsequent ones.
The thing about Wham! right, [...]

Azealia Banks – 212

In: Music Video| New Music

5 Jan 2012

In news that may well shock you, I was slightly off the pace when it came to Azealia Banks (I think I was listening to some Human League b-sides), but after hearing a heavily – and I mean heavily – edited version of 212 on the wireless yesterday it has infected my head.
She’s come third [...]

I CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO SELENA GOMEZ

In: Music Video

31 Dec 2011

It’s a bit of a shame that I didn’t discover this song until it appeared on every other bugger’s Best Of The Year list, but now I’ve found it’s all gone a bit mental as per my midi hifi. I can’t stop listening to the bloody thing.
CONGRATUWELLDONE, SEL

I rather like We Show Up On Radar and here’s a song of his

In: Music Video| New Music

6 Dec 2011

We Show Up On Radar is the work of your man Andrew Wright, who in addition to being a stand up type of gentleman is also an excellent musician. When he’s not having tremendous fun on his own, you can also find him making noise in the pop band Swimming of whom I’m rather fond.
I’ll [...]

Jessica 6 – Prisoner Of Love

In: Music Video| New Music

26 Oct 2011

Now here’s a jam that’s been kicking about a while – when I was working on the very lovely Lauren Laverne show at 6 Music back in May we gave it away as a lovely free download. Fortunately it’s as lovely now as it was then.
Things start well with a particularly healthy donk, setting the [...]

Oh My! – Dirty Dancer

In: Music Video| New Music

24 Oct 2011

GOOD GRIEF.
I don’t even know where to start with this one, because it has everything I’ve ever wanted in a pop record in three minutes and forty seconds of RIDICUAMAZING action.
It’s not just the wonderfully bored sounding spoken word vocals, or the fact that it’s fast enough to entice someone with as little natural grace [...]

Swimming – Neutron Wireless Crystal

In: Music Video| New Music

20 Oct 2011

If I had to be pinned down to my favourite band named after a recreational/sports-based activity – and I’d like to stress that I’m in no way happy about this situation – then I’d probably have to go for the Bitter Fingers favourites Swimming. There’s pretty much no getting them off this blog, in fact [...]

The top five songs about identifying that woman

In: Music Video| Top Five

15 Oct 2011

You know what no-one has ever asked me? Well I’ll tell you. It’s “Mark what are the top five songs about identifying women that have enchanted the protagonist of the aforementioned song in such a way that they feel inclined to sing about it”. Literally no-one has ever asked me that question. But it’s one [...]

Alex Winston – Velvet Elvis

In: Music Video| New Music

14 Oct 2011

Much earlier this year I threw my not-inconsiderable weight behind Alex Winston due to her having some quite good songs. I am pleased to report that some eight months later the situation is very similar, as pertains to quite good songs at any rate.
Velvet Elvis is out on Monday 17th October, so this seemed as [...]
