LOVE'LL MAKE YOU DO A FEW THINGS THAT YOU KNOW IS .....

It was, the end of a friend and family proper sunday roast which started at 1.30pm and the playlist had finished 10 minutes ago when my son Nino (age 6) decided to make the most un-expected search on youtube which included " holiday/games/ sing" and then press play to the video he saw on the screen...............
happy days....

ELIXIR VITAE II

Sola Rosa - These Words (feat. Spikey T) (JPOD remix)



Gotye ft Kimbra - somebody that i used to know




Now...we have this thing going on with my wife:    on sundays...once our lovely lively kiddos are nice and cosy in bed, we light a fire,open a (sometimes 2) bottle of an (expertidly selected) red wine and plate up a selection of (expertidly selected) cheeses and we play our old records on our Technics in back to back. these sessions bring back some great memories and of course dug up some amazing tunes.warning:it's pretty chilled and it's the idea really.
have you ever been raving with a cheese platter? .........that's what i thought. 


1st one is an incredibly chilled and meditative hip hop gem from dj krush and friends.a band called RYU.Released in 1999.
  Ryu - song from the far east by Duendiness

following up,my favorite tune of 2010 (si si Mr Blundetto!) revisited by THE Blunde' himself in a trippier version than the original but each version is equally outstanding.featuring the unique voice of Hindi Zahra.
Blundetto is coming back with a new ep in january and i can't wait for it.in the meantime listen to this:
