2 Festivals and a wedding

Sorry it's been a while. The last few weeks I've been to Belgium for my 3rd annual Pukkelpop festival and also just up the road for the Brighton and Hove's 1st Beachdown festival.

This weekend I wasn't spared either as I attended the wedding of my good friends Will and Gail. I had a half hour set which comprised of the following dance floor classics (which went down very well I might add):

• Aint Nobody - Chaka Khan
• White Wedding - Billy Idol
• Let's Dance - David Bowie
• Romeo - Basement Jaxx
• My Sharona - The Knack
• Doctor Pressure - Mylo Vs Miami Sound Machine
• Rock the Casbah - The Clash
• Just What I Needed - The Cars
• Cars - Gary Numan
• Digital Love - Daft Punk
  

I had to stop it early and leave off Gary Numan and Daft Punk, but I was happy my work was done. Other tracks that nearly made it include: Lady - Modjo, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic - The Police, Music Sounds Better With You - Stardust, I Can't Go For That - Hall and Oates, Atomic - Blondie, We Are Your Friends - Justice, Superstition - Stevie Wonder, Out Of Space - The Prodigy, Sweet Dreams - The Eurythmics.

Paddle round the Pier festival

If you happen to be in the Hove Lawns area over the weekend you wont help but be caught up in this charity event. Paddle round the Pier has been going for over 10 years now, and maybe this year I'll actually dust off my board and take part. If you do go please show some love to my friends Carlo Sandblow who are on around 2pm on the Sunday. Oh and don't forget your wetsuits as this weekend's been forecast as showers and heavy winds. That's Summer over then.

And Justice for all

Gianni Rossi has created some amazing gig posters including this one for Justice. I'm also trying to get hold of a Daft Punk one he's designed to add to my collection. [EDIT: IF you contact Gianni he is selling numbered and signed 50x70cm (Around A1) prints for 25 Euros each and 8 Euros p&p. I've ordered Daft Punk on white and the Justice one above.]
Also, whilst I'm on the subject of gig posters the aptly named gigposters.com has a great collection of errr... posters from gigs. They're not particularly hi-res but there are links to purchase some of them as prints and links to the designers website and email.

Hacksaw Lover

Sheeeeeee's a haaaaaaacksaw luuuuver, she'll get a hold on you believe it. I've already mentioned that I'm seeing the Presets tonight and whilst checking out the supporting Blah Blah Blah DJs I found this great track by Disco Trash Music: Hacksaw Lover rated as one of their top tunes. I hope they play it.
