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.

Boring by the Sea

Brighton's own Blood Red Shoes have been added to the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium next month so to celebrate check out Blamma Blamma's excellent remix of Getting Boring by the Sea.
If you haven't heard of Pukkelpop it's been going for 23 years and I've been to the last 3. It's smaller in scale to Glastonbury, a darn site cheaper than any festival in the UK and has a great mix of rock, indie and electro. After seeing Soulwax and Bloc Party up close and personal a few months ago, I can't wait to see them again with the likes of: Sigur Ros, The Cribs, The Breeders, Boys Noize, SebAstian, Simian Mobile Disco, Does it offend you, yeah? Midnight Juggernauts and Uffie to name but a few.
