Mix'n it up

Thank God, or whatever..chocolate bars if you like...FOR PODCASTS! I was just randomly searching for different podcast subscriptions the other day just as I have become tired with the ones I've been listening to for the past year, and I managed to stumble upon Adsum Music Show. There are only four episodes to his podcast, and they were all mixed in June, which is certainly unfortunate because it seems as though it will remain in having just the four episodes, but out of those four, there are two finger-snapping, fist-in-the-air-pumping JEWELS, of great Italo Disco mixes. One is an hour long, the other is only 10 minutes in length, but both are more than satisfactory in getting a party started.

P.S. who remembers Culture Beat? MR. VAIN!

I gots me a friend!



His name is Jerome. He and I practically share the exact taste in music, and are equally just as thrilled and excited when we hear any eurotrash, italo disco, 80-90's disco pop music.
We are like brothers, except he dresses a lot better than I do, and is a far better dancer than I am (Though we certainly make a good team when drunk off of plum wine and dancing in the living room to music that can be heard down the street, all at 3 in the morning).
Well to get to the point, this fantastico bloke Jerome is currently in Italy for his designer shoe company that he is starting up, and what does he do while he's there? Sends me a super great Italo Disco song by The Flirts. Of course, I should have seen it coming, thats how cool he is!
Good ol' Jerome, he never fails to pick out the best songs for me to listen to!
He should become president of the world, if he did he would make sure that everyone wear silver glitter dress up shoes (I am sure he could tell you more about that though so I am not going to explain).

dance anthems for lonely mondays..going on tuesday

You know what? It's true, I am the kindest man in all of the land. You know why? Well, other than my unexplainable abilities of being able to cure the blind and the strength and stamina to give women multiple orgasms in one sitting by telepathic communication alone, i am also a most sharing and generous person..though if you knew me, which you don't (you fuck), you'd know that i am talking out of my arse-hole, which might i add is nicely tanned and roasted like an almond fit for snacking on.
Silliness Daniel-STYLE-EEE, aside, i am about to post 26 songs which i hope anyone who comes across my page will download, as they are some pretty nifty tracks, inspired by drunk driving on desert roads that lead absolutely nowhere but home.
in short, this playlist is sweet, and you best grab up these tunes in your stylish easter arts n'crafts basket and listen to all of em' back to back, the way nature intended.
i can't get enough of this shit.
please enjoy.
(if you don't my heart will turn into the blackest of col, and i will weep dragon tears, the saddest tears of them all.)

The Morning Afer

It's morning, or well, I guess afternoon. I just woke up. Halloween was pretty sweet, only because i looked so intense. God like intense. I dressed as Adam Ant and it was kind of amazing. But that is neither here or there. I am brain-dead as fuck but there are two amazing songs that sound incredible to me right now.
They are both very different.
First one is "Running Back To You" by Kleer which is a 70's - 80's disco / soul band. The other is "Cause a Rockslide" by Badly Drawn Boy, which is a fucking mind-blowingly great song.

Anyway, have a listen. I just have to say, someone has to remix or sample from "Running Back to You," it has good potential. I can't of course because that involves skills, skills that are absent in my life. oh how i cry so loud in the night.

Kleer: "Running Back to You"
