They say that the world was built for two…

My flatmate first heard this remix on the Annie Mac show and put me on to it. It’s pretty damn good an I’ve listened to it a lot in the past couple of weeks. It’s lovely and light and a little bit house, a little bit disco.

As nice as that track is, I have a confession to make: I haven’t been able to turn off the original since I heard it. It’s probably on one of those fancy wireless devices all the time, like the radio, but what I know about current, popular culture could be written on the back of an envelope. I like this, though, and you should too. It’s just one of those tracks that seems timeless (despite being called Video Games).

I know you’re pretty pissed, but I hope you’ll still let me kiss you.

So my brother pointed this out to me the other day. My favourite artist covering the artist I just can’t get enough of right now. No-one’s saying it’s perfect, but I choose to think of it as validating. Big up to The Ruckus who posted it, Frank who played it and Craig and the boys who wrote it.

I remember a time when…

I’m trying my best to get writing, to start posting, to play more and be more creative. I wish I understood noises like this.

It’s Medicinal

Big congratulations to my friends over at Mia Dora for this remix. Giles Peterson picked up on it and Rob da Bank followed up on Radio 1. It’s since done the rounds on blogs, Capital FM and Mary Ann Hobbs got in on the game for XFM. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come and we’ll see a lot more from the pair. Enjoy.

I’m hoping we might see some other Glasgow DJs spin this in their honour in the next couple weeks. We all love it when some local boys do good.

I’m the first to admit, I know fuck all about wrestling. It’s not my thing and I don’t think it ever will be. But I happen to have the best friends in the world and we know how to throw a party. I won’t bore you with the details, luckily, Ian’s made us a video. Lest we forget.

Apparently, due to the fact that wordpress and Facebook don’t seem to compute, you’ll have to follow this link below to see the carnage that was only the build up to the night. If anyone can let me know how to embed it into this post, please get in touch.

In the meantime, here’s a picture of me in my costume, in a bath in a hotel room on the Saturday night – before we went out:

I have no recollection of this being taken.

Say what you like about us, we know how to have a good time. I didn’t get out of bed for two and a half days after Espookio.
