Blog Along A Bond
The Incredible Suit has proposed the novel idea of watching a Bond film a month starting this January until the theoretical theatrical release of the 23rd James Bond film in November 2012. So that’s twenty two films in twenty two months – starting with Dr. No.

The Making Of Together Alone
Together Alone is possibly my favourite album, certainly it’s songs resonate with me unlike any other. The trouble is it’s by Crowded House and so telling anyone who doesn’t know the bands musical canon may well be baffled by this statement, thinking only of the popular but ultimately light weight pop of the hit single […]

Foxbase Beta. Remix, Re-Cover & Release
The lines between re-release, remix, cover or even mash-up are becoming increasingly blurred. Witness Florence & The Machines cover “You've Got The Love” a song for which the original version for most people is actually a remix – it wasn't until The Source put Candy Stanton's vocals over the Frankie Knuckles track “Your Love” that […]

Beatles Ranked
Someones had the time, and used that time, to rank every Beatle song and provide commentrary and YouTube links were possible. There's 185 in total, no covers so don't go looking for Twist & Shout. No one's going to agree with all of them, and there's plenty of comments left already. The Beatles Ranked

Blur return
News today of Blur “re-forming”, though in fact they never actually split up, but an essential part of the band did leave for a while and without him. I suspect it' s about the money, the gig announced is a huge one and it will be interesting to see if there's any new material. The […]
