FatBoy Slim's You've Come a Long Way, Baby!

Hi everyone,

The title of this album is taken, I think, from the old Virginia Slims cigarette ad. Something about women's lib in the 1970s. Our right to get cancer with our own special cigarette, or something.

Anyway, this album just kind of defies description, save it will bounce into your heart and your dancing shoes and get you up and moving along! :)

Ian William Craig - Meaning Turns To Whispers


Hi everyone,

Here's a good description from IWC's website of this great 2012 record: "Meaning Turns to Whispers is a combination of piano improvisations and FM feedback loops, recorded over various winters in the last three years or so, and edited down/manipulated/degraded to reveal some of their hidden spaces."

It's a dark, grainy, dreamy record, old and timeless in its feel. I found it somewhat randomly, and have been enjoying ever since. I hope you do too!

PeaceNstarZ,
