Mo’Kelly will give you all week and all month. You won’t find it. That’s because they stopped making real music long ago. REAL music [...]
Sunset Over Slawit (Free subscription) | 26/10/2009
So I return to work after a few days in the Lakes (photos to follow, because I know you're all dying for holiday snaps) and nothing has changed. I wake up early after a restless night, partly due to the clock going back (my internal alarm doesn't yet realise that 5.15 is no longer 6.15) and partly due to stress over whatever might be waiting in the dark and horrible place. At least I get to listen...

But the calendar doesn't lie--and it's time to fete the great pumpkin. Today from 10 a.m .to 5 p.m head over to Juan Bautista de Anza Park (3701 Lost Hills Rd) in Calabasas for the Pumpkin...

Image: Ffffound Well it looks like the summer is officially over and its time to batten down the hatches for a long wet winter. But, lets not get too down about it all, especially when we've got this cheeky little mix from DJ/Producer Haynes . Heres what he had to say about it; "Here’s a mixtape I’ve been working on for the last gasps of summer. Its themed as the kind of songs that...

Been a bit quiet on the blogging front from me recently I'm afraid, as preparations for going off to University have rather taken over my life. But all of that is nearly over, as is the summer - so to signpost the end of summer, a few lovely mixes for you - of the summery variety, although they'll be good all year round! One gripe of mine at the 'Summer Mix' time of year is the influx of DJs who put...
Honey Soul (Free subscription) | 23/09/2009
Goapele’s turned us on to another Milk and Honey remix. This one is the “Soul Of Mind Motion Remix” and it reminds me of Patrice Rushen’s You Remind Me. Probably because they used the song sample. You can buy Goapele’s original version on iTunes. By the way, the picture above is Goapele on the cover [...]
