For some reason I imagine this is how Warren House appeared in the mid/late 80’s.
At 1:47 we see Sir Henry rewarding Oh So Sharp for her triple tiara heroics.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Itsme
, here’s a tune by UB40 for you
Whoa you’re amazing!!!

this is my favourite track of their’s. Before they sold out. And painfully poignant in the current climate.
When everyone has left the lab Planet Rock will go on the radio
I trust that’s
Planet Rock
as in the Afrika Bambaataa track from 1982? A genuine landmark statement in electro, and a song whose influence resonated in house, trance, hip-hop, etc. for years after.
If it’s something else that’s shamefully pilfered the same name, I think I might need to have a lie-down…

DJ Shadow. To my mind, the greatest DJ in history. From
Endtroducing
in 1996 through to
The Outsider
, he keeps producing brilliance, and I can’t wait for his next album.

Original and still the best (Building Steam With a Grain of Salt a close second)
DJ Shadow – a fine choice, sir! The man himself would acknowledge a huge historical debt to a few other DJs / cut and paste artists which went before him, mind, not least Steinski.
Is it really 25 years since I first saw this track interrupting Jonathan King, Toby Baker and Jenny Powell pratting around on BBC2’s yoof music show
No Limits
? Yes, I’m afraid it really is;

At the moment am listening to this and am SO p******d off that the London gig is already sold out:

Ha ha. I think pyrotehnics have come along way since then !

, it strikes me I’ve not posted very much in the way of music on this thread at all so far this year.That will never do!
Here are a few tracks I’ve very much enjoyed of late, including some from the backlog of 2010 stuff I’m still getting through. With so much music out there and so little time to enjoy it, why do people give the likes of Beady Eye the time of day… Beats me.
WIRE – Two Minutes
(2011)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5WL_khq2AU
Yep,that
Wire. Still surviving successive cold winters, still refusing to grow old gracefully. Good.
THE LOVELY EGGS – Don’t Look At Me (I Don’t Like It)
(2011)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uuMy2ZN7A8
Lancaster’s finest husband-and-wife punk-popsters, brought to you once again by Rachel Neimann (the lass with the pink hair off ofMastermind
and
University Challenge
and stuff) and featuring a winning cameo from a certain Mr Shuttleworth. Miles and miles of win.
PEACH KELLI POP – Do The Eggroll
(2010)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LhZOl3cBZA
You know, sometimes I think there just aren’t enough twee-surf songs performed by usherettes with painted-on whiskers…KITTY, DAISY AND LEWIS – I’m So Sorry
(2011)

Think any lovers of ska, dancefloor or even skiffle might love this. First track from London siblings’ sophomore album, and catchy as.SELEBRITIES – Can’t Make Up My Mind

80s synth-tastic! Few New Order-ish guitar licks in there as well, I think.THE LIKE – He’s Not A Boy
(2010)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42p2nERiNFk
Bless me! A Mark Ronson-produced vehicle to which I’m not completely and utterly and terminally ambivalent! Ah well, if one waits long enough…AVEY TARE – Lucky 1

Do you know what I like nearly as much as Animal Collective albums? Albums from solo members of Animal Collective. Squelchy synths, syncopation, echoey vocals, almost-pop – this is not unfamiliar, nor unwelcome, sort of territory.ACID HOUSE KINGS – Would You Say Stop?
(2011)

I’ve saved the best until last. Peerless, perfect, Swedish pop that would have won Eurovision with a record score if only they’d thought to have entered it. D’oh…I still really, really, like music, me.

The next wet weekend we get, Jezza, which surely can’t be too far off… I shall plough through your

I’m sure some gems may lie within.

Look at him with his sticky toffee finger
Look at him with his Aytach smile‘Would You Say Stop’ is one of the most delightful, frothy and cheerful songs I’ve heard in a long time. Classic three-minute Pop

Am in a musical void at the moment [good to see PJ Harvey win the Mercury, though], so good to hear some new stuff. Strange that gc is with us again because I’m reading The Time Travellers Wife at the moment..not overawed with it but had good reviews and, at my third attempt I seem to be enjoying it; for some reason the main character, Henry, has been reminding me of gc, and now he’s back [hurrah!]. However, as a Time Traveler, the aformentioned is able to look into the future and know who’s going to win tomorrow; if only…..
