Aug 2007 – Full of Sound – Progressive House

I’m back from my travels – and to celebrate the fact that lots of lovely music happened whilst I was gone – I did a nice new mix for FREE DOWNLOAD! (thats to make sure that I get all those search results for FREE+DOWNLOAD). Its a full length mix (73mins), ideal for the your ipod, thedancefloor, the gym or just chillaxing on your PC. Its a little more trancey than my last couple of mixes – but still full of bounce and energy. Leave me a comment if you like or not…

What’s a boy to do? 

this is impressive stuff…

Imogen Heap singing ‘Just for Now’ live on French TV, and recreating the song from scratch, live – with a sampler and sequencer. Very clever indeed!

Genius!

back from the ‘dam

best heineken ever!Lovely weekend in Amsterdam, weather was acceptable – and the place wasn’t too crazy crowded. Managed to find a fantastic hotel, so we were well looked after – apart from a cock-up with dinner on Sunday night (was included – even though the kitchen was closed, luckily the staff made us a fantastic room service meal – with brilliant service).

Enjoyed the Heineken tour, and a canal boat trip around the city but wasn’t over impressed with the Van Gogh Museum, too crowded! We took the obligatory stroll round the Red Light District,which was funny – but really cliched. I knew that I would see brits on the piss – but I was impressed with the dedication of about 20 guys wearing “I’m with the gimp” shirts and following round a poor bloke dressed in latex and a gimp mask.

CanalsDefinitely the highlight for me was just strolling round the streets  looking at beautiful buildings, stunning houseboats and lovely views across and along the canals.

The food was good too – with a fantastic Argentinean restaurant (Ocho Grill – website here) on Saturday night – we had a kind of shared mixed grill with small pieces of meat from across the menu….including some killer, melt-in-the-mouth beef and some amazing Argentinean sausages… all with salad, chips, lush sauces and some cold beer to wash it down. Superb.

the best rap video ever made…

image No question about it – this is probably the zenith of rap videos, the new clip for Kanye West – Can’t tell me Nothing – which stars comedian Zach Galifianakis, and features various chainsaw action, tractor driving and dancing country girls. Seriously. It WILL NOT get any better than this. Ever.

Fact fans will also notice that it has a cameo from Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy

You can watch the whole video here and there is some background info on how this most unlikely collaboration came about of one fader.com.

just popping out for some fags – won’t be long…

germanferrarichick Man, you’ve got to admire the dude in the driver seat of this one…decides to stop for some cigarettes – pulls into a petrol station and lets his girl get out of his very nice Ferrari for a pack of fags.

All good – ‘cept she’s nekkid – dressed only in gold stillettos, a bracelet and some serious tats.

There are sooooo many unanswered questions in this one, but I’m not even going to  speculate on who, why and what?

Check out the story here on bild.de and heres an English version of it.

its all in the secret sauce

It appears that the trick behind getting the French to queue for something, is all in the secret sauce. This report explains how a restaurant in Paris (Relais de Venise) serves only one dish (steak frites) but manages to do it better than anyone else. So without reservations and only one dish on the menu – people queue out of the door.

This reminds me of a restaurant in Strasbourg – Le Fossile – which was a huge favourite during my visits there. Whilst there were more things on the menu, there was only one main course of any interest,  onglet à l’échalote- a beautifully cooked steak, which was then chopped at the table and mixed with a jus containing shallots and lots of pepper. This was a serious meal – served with copious amounts of fries, some good margaux – it was a pilgrimage every time I went to Strasbourg.

RELAIS DE VENISE -  271 Boulevard Pereire,  Porte-Maillot, PARIS / Tel. 01 45 74 27 97
RESTAURANT LE FOSSILE – Place Orphelins, 67000 STRASBOURG / Tel. 03 88 36 39 76

Update – the Relais De Venise is now open in London – 120 Marylebone Lane, London, W1U 2QG, Tel. 020 7486 0878 (I’m gonna try that one out!)

is he playing hoopla?

200707161256I cannot WAIT to see this film….it’ll be out JUST before I go on holiday, so I’ll be taking a trip before then!

Apparently – pagans are upset with this, because a picture of a dude waving a stick with his cock in the air is absolutely NOT to be tampered with by people with a sense of humour.

Personally – its temporary, so I’m cool with it…
