A Night In The Love Motel


We've had this in our folder for a while now and finally we can do a post because finally someone did their job!
Love motel are a stylish outfit from the home of the famous Swiss Army knife, Switzerland.............. Their promotor literally sent over a potato sack full of remixes for us. Chilled and upbeat dancey dance, it's got remixes from Grum, Cryptonites and Leonard de Leonard just to name a few. Also if you want all the remixes, you can go on a magical treasure hunt and explore the wonderful world of music blogs. So when you've got the whole set, invite a lot of drop dead gorgeous girls to your house (but don't make a party out of it) and get some of those flashy flashy laser lights happening, a big mirror ball, smoke machine and turn of all the house lights and get the spin doctor to wear christmas lights all over himself. And finally get seriously hammered and dance like a baboon on mushies because this album is great for pumping up really loud and pissing off the neighbors un-till the Jacks pull up and shout "alright guys, parties over". Then you'd say, "what party? There's only 4 people here."......................Or is there........................;
Peace in the middle east.

There Is A Magical Land


A Mystical fusion of magical lullaby sounds created in a child's dream. Thats what it sounds like when you listen to Ghost in the Water's new Album 'Tooth'. Hailing from
Minneapolis, Minnesota, this duo somehow, have created a whole magical land in their basement, creating amazing sounds from electronic sources as well as hand made sounds from guitars to chimes all the way to synthesizers to percussion. The contrast between male/female vocals adds that extra special quality to their delicate dreamy songs. Its quite incredible how much detail you can hear in one song when you close your eyes, lying down on a comfy bed and letting your imagination run free. Just beautiful. I've chosen 2 songs i really like, however they're all fair good so check them out at
myspace and get the album.

The Campfire - Ghost in the water








A Nightmare - Ghost in the water

Ice Cold Melbourne Winter


I Love Swedish bands! Especially The Radio Dept. The group named it after a gas-station-turned-radio-repair-shop called "Radioavdelningen" (The Radio Department in Swedish). I first heard of them when i was in Thailand of all places and saw their 'Pulling Our Weight' music video on television. With I think 8 Ep's and 3 albums since 1995, The Radio Dept. have gone through alot of changes. Starting out as a 2 piece, then going through 7 other members, they are now a 3 piece consisting of Johan Duncanson, Martin Larsson and Daniel Tjader. The sound they produce has a kind of a raw vibe to it with a subtle ambience feel. To some of their songs, I'd say its like having a whole bunch of Soothers in your mouth, then drinking a glass of ice water on a cold, frosty Melbourne winters day. Now Thats Ice Fresh! So, heres a couple of finely selected tunes for you.

Sitting By The Fire


I cant believe how sexy this vocalist is. I mean her voice. I think its the raspiness that does it. Especially in GETO BOYS. I'm so dooped that i missed out when they came to Melbourne. I'm talking about the band GLASS CANDY. Johnny Jewel and Ida No. You should've heard about them before, playing at V festival, if you haven't, check out their myspace. They're like 70's italo disco with their futuristic echoes of the past and 80's synths. Its just really sexy lounge music. Sexy, sexy, sexy. Somone roll me one thanks.


















I'm Falling In Love


I had a weird dream the other night. I was boppin up and down to a tune by A Flock Of Seagulls called Space Age Love Song in some kind of club during the 80's. There were people everywhere, neon lights, smoke machines and balloons above the ceiling, it was spectacular. However, while i was dancing around, this really beautiful girl with curly boofed up brown hair, wearing high tight stressed denim caught my eye. We made eye contact and to my surprise she was touching her herself. I was definitely aroused. So i slowly walked up to this fine looking female and as it so happens we started passionately kissing. It seemed so real too.
Then i woke up and needed to go to the toilet..............
What a classic song.
