Goldfrapp- Mona at the Gate


From the Soundtrack of My Summer of Love

It doesn’t matter where I’m DJing - pub, club, concert venue, to whatever crowd. If things are going badly and I play ‘Buffalo Stance’ it will rescue the night and if things are going good, it will just take it up to the next level. What is it about that song? 25 years later, why has that song still got it?

NC: You tell me. It still surprises me! Maybe it’s just luck… Maybe it’s just… I don’t know… Hey DJ, why don’t you tell me? Ha ha ha! You’re the DJ!

Piano Magic ~ A Secret Never Told

(Angèle David-Guillou aka Klima) Her voice is irresistible. 

From the new album, ‘Life Has Not Finished With Me Yet’

out 11th June 2012 on Second Language/Saint Marie Records (North America)


Though clouds that pass may mask the sun
                          Though waves, as bows, may come undone
Though Summer’s flock may not return
                                       Though bones may crack and cities burn
Though boys may never come to men
                                              Though letters penned may ne’er be sent
Though bare the trees through Winter’s chill
                                                Though hard the rain and steep the hill
Though lost a kiss too sweet to hold
                                         Though lost a secret never told
Do not suppose there is no hope
                                Do not forget you’re not alone

Rather lovely.
