By colour, kind of. And random heaps.

Anything off this:

This has been my song of the day:

The Vodoun Effect is indeed great, but I think African Scream Contest is even better: It covers a similar area in time and space, but has a bunch of other great acts as well as the Orchestre Poly Rythmo.

I'm not going. I might go to the cinema instead.

I've done the opposite direction - it's not much hassle as long as you can sleep on a bus. That said, Eurostar is £58 return if you can book in advance.

New Georgia Anne Muldrow is nice, but not much in the way of surprises. I'm glad I got it half price.

More all-time favourites:

One aspect of disco - the smooth, elegant, "white" version - is brilliantly captured by this Tom Savarese mix from 1978: http://www.djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33997 It's not my favourite side of the genre, though; I'd rather go for these: YouTube - Sesso Matto - Sessomatto YouTube -...

Mesrine: Killer Instinct. Very entertaining, similar concept to that Public Enemies film but with hand grenades and good acting. I'm looking forward to seeing the second installment, something tells me it will be the two-part criminal biopic of the year.

Why is it the noise/punk/metal crew that buy all the music? Is there just more of it?

What do you have to get to pass? 15/24 - obviously I've learned 2.5 useful things each year I've lived in the UK.

What's this Vortex? Is it as good as the Infernal Pit of Doom for a night out?

I was a bit disappointed by Ambivalence Avenue, given all the love it's getting - it reminds me of a slightly less good Notwist album. Just got this today, it's ace:

Salsoul-style disco version:

New old music: exceptionally good samba-soul/soul-samba compilation on Strut: Old old music, also from Brazil: http://loronix.blogspot.com/2006/09/dorival-caymmi-cancoes-praieiras-1954.html Spellbinding.

I think that shipping charges are the main reason I still live in the UK...

Honest Jon's and Sounds of the Universe are probably my two favourite record shops anywhere. Rough Trade is almost my least favourite - they have a good selection but are always ridiculously overpriced. CD albums for £18 that you can get for £10 in Honest Jon's just down the road from RT...
