Fela Kuti – Trouble Sleep Yanga Wake Am One of the great advantages to living in London (or any metropolis worth a damn) is the sheer variety of what one encounters.  Music is no exception. Upon frequenting an […]

Up until I started college I was never really one for “chillout” music, honestly. As a kid my mum owned a million albums with names like “Tranquil Destiny” or “Soothing Moonlight Songs” by “Some Bint with a Pan Pipe”, so my impression of chillout music was that it was boring as all hell and really […]

I hate the pub soundtrack. I do, and let’s be honest, you do too. We tolerate it, and the occasional decent song that makes us want to dance, or ‘dance’ as is the usual result. Then, when we’ve enough over-priced drinks in us, suddenly anything remotely close to our preferred tastes is the our JAM and […]

I’ve done a few Music Mondays in my time. However, to be writing the playlist to kick-off 2015 implies a responsibility hitherto unknown; therefore I must do my damnedest to ensure as much variety as possible in a selection of just seven songs. No pressure. BriaAndChrissy ft. DJ Jon Nguyen -Take Me to Heaven (2014) To start, I […]

Welcome, one and all, to the last Music Monday of 2014. As it is the last, and in order to go out with a bang of SOME description, it’s going to be a top seven of the year countdown. I have to say, I’ve been lax this year in following the ins and outs of […]

Tis the Season to cram the airwaves with crooning bleeding hearts, nostalgia, slurred lines and festive one liners! Bah bloody humbug! There’s only one song about Christmas that I actually like and it’s ‘Fairytale of New York’ because nothing says Christmas like being crude and slightly offensive! So in the spirit of sticking it to traditional […]

This week I’m revisiting an old theme; the songs below are all used in feature films. You might say the films sighted are a mixed bag.

It’s December. This means nauseating music, daft jumpers, some crazy sales that we have to utilize for our family members and friends rather than ourselves, and its crunch time for the current semester of college. While most exams are in January, all the essays and presentations are due now, or not at all. And that […]
