You are all aware, no doubt, that last Tuesday the French celebrated le Quatorze Juillet or Bastille Day as the Anglo-Saxon philistines call it. To commemorate the 220th anniversary of the destruction of the royal gaol of Bastille, I'd like to share with you some French sounds.I can't see any better way to kick off our 14 juillet music than with Les Rita Mitsouko and their zany French pop. The ...

Arnie: When is yesterday tomorrow?Sam: And when is tomorrow yesterday?Arnie: Today.After a long forced furlough, I am furrowing through the phonographic forest of virtual musical landscapes. From my dabblings and dallyings, I bring you a poppish production by three lads from Bangor, Northern Ireland. The trio's music trilling infectiously à la Phoenix is a welcome invitation to summer and blith..

Funk God! it's Friday. With Friday comes the Funk-Fu, the not-so-ancient art of mixing the groovy with the booty.As the booty (Fu) is not welcome on MOG any more, we shall make do with the grooves (Funk). I don't know anything about John Paul except for his proud origins as proves this track.As Gordon would say: Funk ahead, you groove-louse!!!(Those still interested in the Fu of Funk-Fu can cl...

I have a love/hate relation with Sleep. I would love to sleep but Sleep just hates me to death... I envy people who can find sleep at will. Nothing I do will coax Sleep toward me. I'm morbidly curious about everything to do with sleep: I bought "The House of Sleep" by Jonathan Coe only because its title bore the fiven letter word. I went to see "The Science of Sleep" for the same reason. Then t...

Two days after our Funky Fridays, I'm late with a revenge... Well, what a time-deprived man to do except running after and flinging some Funk-fu action when he can?After all, I'm a Funk-Fu fighting man. See if you can counter my electric frog leap :p(Those who miss the whipping pics of the Funk-Fu Fight can click here)

The legend tells of the story of a formidable funk-fu fighter. One whose fierce fists could spin the most funkalicious grooves with the bombastic beauty of her booties. With one cut, she would funk your balls to the Mother Ship. With another, she would flaunt the fiercest funksters. Her name could be heard in all the 16 Corners of Funkland: the Funk-Fu Sister.Though the Funk-Fu Sister has forsa...

Always at the tip of hipness, I am bringing you echoes of an album of 2006 that pricked up my ears as 2008 was slowly crawling into 2009.The most learned among you will no doubt have recognised half of the über-vixenish duo Cobra Killer. Those even more erudite will also be aware that despite taking 3 years to reach this commoner's ears "Trust Me" isn't her first adventure in solo land. Honour ..

As 2009 is crowning and moving down the pelvis of Time, one cannot help but wonder why it is that years have such short lives: going from infancy to senility in only 365 days. Well, 366 for 2008. And where did two-O-O-eight go?Fortunately for me, a plethora of expert listologues is here to write down the testament of 2008 with their end-of-year compilations. — Now, I must confess I have been al.

Just this once won't hurt the cross curdmudgeon inside me. It's been said many times and in many way. So let me say it once more. To Everyone! (I wanted to post "Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto" but our JB expert will do it so much better than me)
