Today we discovered Bottom & Co’s “Do A Funky Thing Together” from the album “Rock Bottom”. By jove, it’s a motherfucker, you should track it down A to the S to the A to the P.

The poster for this year’s Soul Revue at Festsaal Kreuzberg, Berlin, is pretty hip. Last year’s is also worth a look.

Pirating vinyl – hard work, pretty pointless, but tres cool nonetheless.

There’s some striking album artwork on the Creative Review Blog. This vibrant, almost eye-watering design for Chris Coco’s album is particularly nice, even if his music is absolutely shit.

My stellar rendition of Papa Was A Rolling Stone at Bearpit karaoke is 100% certain to earn me a record contract. If anyone is out there, hey, I’m all ears (subject to a minimum advance of £1,000,000 and a 10-person entourage).
