Then explain the Mad Max connection.The core, the nexus, the hub for the spokes, is an Australian music dynasty called Vanda and Young. In 1968 Harry Vanda and George Young's group The Easybeats had a massive global h...

The amazing, dynamic and vivacious Grace Jones immediately conquered the pop scene with the same prowress she posessed 2 decades ago. Her most recent album release was 1989's Bulletproof Heart, but this Fall the avant-diva will return to the spotlight like a Hurricane!The buzz kicked into high gear last month when Jones' name appeared on the Massive Attack-curated Meltdown Festival lineup, alongs

This is inspired by a beautiful spring walk amongst the blooming trees and plants, while listening to Ms. Jones sing / attack the classic "La Vie en Rose" in wonderful, late 70s disco stylee. I confess a great love for this song - the extra long intro, the whispered, breathy French, the sparsity of it that gives way to the volcanic vocals. The entire rhythm and pulse of this song build to soni...

.Massive Attack have said on a number of occasions that they love Grace Jones; by the sound of this new track, she loves them as well. Last year, Jones made a sizeable impact when she appeared as Jarvis Cocker's guest at the Meltdown Festival at the Royal Festival Hall, singing "Trust In Me"; since then, she has completed a new album, Hurricane, recorded with her on/off beau, techno pr...

Imagine my excitement when I was Estelle's tweet that GRACE JONES had just performed HURRICANE, SLAVE TO THE RHYHTM and PULL UP TO THE BUMPER at Oi Fashion Rocks in Brazil. Grace was paired up with Marc Jacobs at the event (nooo not like that! wouldn't that be something to talk about!) I wonder if she ever wears normal clothes? In my mind these outfits are just regular day wear for her!This vid...

Well I'm officially obsessed with Grace Jones 's Hurricane album. This evening I stumbled across some Grace Jones demo's that I'm sharing with you. These two songs leaked together in 2007, so I would guess they are from the same session, but who knows?. 'Volunteer' was abandoned at an early stage, but I really think it could have been fabulous, it reminds me a lot of Madonna 's Erotica, fr...
