Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd: And Then I Turned Away

Studio: West Side

If early New Order had Robert Smith guest on vocals.

Boat Club - Nowhere

Two dudes from Gothenburg with a yen to emulate Flesh + Blood-era Roxy. How can I resist this?

Sandii - Zoot Kook

Featuring all the members of YMO, and composed by Haruomi Hosono. I'm feeling this chorus. While we're at it, here's another female chorus tinged with melancholy, courtesy of the inestimable Big B.

Ever wonder what to do with some of your old tape cassettes?

Down The Drain...

This Jason Edwards is a heavy dude. Buy his album (Ouest) directly from Kill The DJ, and/or check out his space. Well worth the trip.

Love the strings on this.

R.I.P. Vinyl Mania. [1978-2007]

Its mortal coil has shuffled but its spirit lives on.

King For A Day:
Goodbye
Stay

It's my special pleasure today to be ruling a couple of freshly-minted jams from King For A Day, featuring Randall Funke on guitar, Danny Labich on guitar and vocals, and the top-flight rhythm section of Eric Kalb and Benj LeFevre (both formerly of Deep Banana Blackout). Randy and I have been pals since Centerfold was top of the pops, and I still can't comprehend how he learned to play guitar like that.
