50 Cent: A Baltimore Love Thing

THIS is a track about heroin. You can read the words at Muddy Waters' blog (click here)

Madonna: Live to Tell

I had never seen this vid till today, though I love the song...

Liza Minnelli: Losing My Mind

Here's the official promo video for this Pet Shop Boys-produced track:

Wiley: Wearing My Rolex

I really like this tune but think it might sound better without words...

Leona Lewis: Better in Time (Jason Nevins Mix)

Oasis: The Importance of Being Idle

This is by far my favourite Oasis track:

Lost Tribe ~ Gamemaster (Original Mix)

I purloined this tune from Crushed ...

Goa Trance

THIS ONE HAS (relatively) good music (and you'd not believe how much crap I had to wade through to find it...)

When I was on this "vibe" I literally felt trance-energy welling through the pavements.

So imagine how surprised I was, feeling the vibe was dead (to me) to find footage of parties like this from just 2 years ago.

Some of this looks suspiciously more like Thailand than Goa, and one of the parties is patently on African soil!




This is one vibed-up party. Japanese girls on Eeeeeeeeee were the very best...

Here's the famous scene from Trainspotting...



I THINK THIS IS A BETTER EXCERPT FROM TRAINSPOTTING; IT STARTS LATER IN THE DEALER'S FLAT AND DOESN'T CUT OFF PREMATURELY LIKE THE ABOVE...

Peter Kay ft Ken & Deidre etc etc: Amarillo

THIS WERE ONE O'T BIGGEST HITS O'T 21ST CENTURI. I saw't documentary onnit yesterdi naarght and bloodi Northern Accent went raaght insaad mi hed agairn. This is track wot put bloodi parrot parroting inside me head again!
