New At Tunes: Eggs And Spoons |
Greetings,
Caught unawares by the equinox. Apparently, the moon controls
everything we do, on account of we're 80% Bacardi Breezers,
20% Dairylea. The MOON! I thought it was the illuminati, or
mind mud or crop spraying or memories. Or maybe even the god
of your choice. Wrong. It's the moon.
##ALBUM OF THE WEEK##
>>>>Chasin' The Jazz Gone By - Five Corners Quintet<<
The debut album from the superb FCQ is a straight up instant
classic. A perfect blend of acoustic jazz and dancefloor
grooves gathering together their phenomenally recieved 10"
