Just fancied posting a bit of 60's French and French inspired fun.

Saint Etienne - Spring (Air France Remix)

Spring (Air France Remix)

Great stuff from the upcoming Fox Base Beta remix album.

AIM - Cold Water Music

Cold Water Music

The sample from 'Maureen in the Desert' by Carter Burwell from Psycho III.

New Order - Ceremony (12" ver with Gillian Gilbert)

Ceremony

One of those songs, along with Age Of Consent I suppose, where I see myself running along a beach or into a field on a hot sunny day, bottle of white wine in hand, falling down out of breathe and laying down looking into the sky.

Mike Smiley - Magic

Magic

From that bit in Ghostbusters when Walter Peck shuts down the laser containment system. 2mins 20secs for the proper bit.

Carter Burwell - Maureen In The Desert

Maureen In The Desert

Sampling fun. I was watching P3 this afternoon and was surprised to hear this in the closing credits. Three points if you can guess where this was sampled. And if you do, you live in 2002. Loser.

Mega heart!

From The Sartorialist

I love this jacket and look. A pea coat like this is available as part of Uniqlo's rather fantastic looking autumn/winter collection:

Andrea True Connection - More More More

More More More

Love this song. I didn't know Andrea True was a smutty film star.

Fine Young Cannibals - Suspicious Minds [Suspicious Mix]

Suspicious Minds [Suspicious Mix]

Suspicious Minds. Check.
Jimmy Somerville. Tell me WHHHHYYYYYYYYY not. Check.
7mins 54 secs. Check.

Excellent.

Status Quo - Pictures of Matchstick Men

Pictures of Matchstick Men

As seems my custom, I turn to Death In Vegas' 2002 album Scorpio Rising when in need of some comfort and solace. And so I turned to them today and then began to read how the eponymous title track contains a sample of this Quo track.

As I trudged, and yes I continue to trudge, to work this morning I put it on and was dumfounded about how catchy Pictures of Matchstick Men is. I don't think I'll be doing a full tour of old Quo but there maybe some gold to be had.

The Young Knives

Loughborough Suicide



Tremblings Of Trails

For some reason, these two songs can make me cry.

Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe

Lunatic Fringe

The National Parks: America's Best Idea

I have been watching this on the various PBS stations available here and with out a doubt it is the most relaxing programme I have watched in a long time.

Basic idea: the story of America's nationals parks from inception to the present day.

Place pipe in hand. Fill brandy glass. Relax.

Stuff I want... PT.7
