Thanks to Marc from CJAM's Cowboys and Indies program for the Digital Mystikz remix of Fat Freddy's Drop, which I confess I've listened to at least four times throughout the day today.  The 12" remix that I have is totally different.  It's a delicious drum-n-bass version of the same song (Cay's Crays).  Can't wait to play it for you!

  4. And yes, there are two new Scritti Politti songs on "Absolute"... both made with David Gamson (one of the other two boys in the mirror on the inside sleeve photo of Cupid & Psyche '85). I'll play one soonish, but it's more "White Bread, Black Beer" next week... because I wasn't kidding about The Summer Of Scritti.

  5. I think it's worth saying how good that new Beasties is... The first time I played it here at home, it was an instant dining room dance party. Yo!

  6. Plus, it's all your fault that I can't stop listening to "Boom! There She Was" over and over. Roger Troutman! And that bass sound! Yikes! I just can't help it!

  7. Loved the Bjorn Torske. I hear the live version is 45 min long :-)

  8. Ha ha! 45! That beats Lindstrom's half hour long song... "Where You Go I Go Too" -- which I assume you got on PP2008.
    Thanks for listening, DP! And extra thanks for commenting. Wow!
