Righty! It's been a while since I've been blawging so I thought I'd throw a couple of musical thoughts up on here!
And what better way to get something up than share my latest iPod playlist with you guys!?
Anyway, here goes:
-
GOLDFRAPP A&E Hercules & Love Affair Remix
The original version is charming enough on it's own, but this delightfully quirky remix just keeps blowing me away. Luv it!!
-
ROISIN MURPHY Overpowered
The Moloko-chick doing her solo thing. This is an absolute stand out track on an otherwise disappointing album.

Here is our exclusive HOME interview with Alan Wilder. This time he answers the questions asked by you, the fans. Enjoy!

We had originally planned to run an interview with Alan Wilder today, to celebrate the release of his new CD single. The feature will be a little delayed.
This is due to a few different reasons. For one, Amigo and Peter2 went to Vienna a while back, and got really fucked up on gin and Red Bull, and was late handing in the questions to Alan. Sorry about that, by the way!
The other reason, which is actually kinda cool, is that Alan is A) a little busy at the moment working on some new stuff; and B) wants to do the questions justice and will therefore not rush the thing.
So stay tuned....
