Saturday Blast From The Past

It seems fitting that this week I throw the Prodigy's Charly out there for a couple of reasons. Firstly I was listening to Zane Lowes radio show and Liam and the boys were in the studio for a take over of Zane's show and basically played a bevvy of tunes that were as eclectic as anything. Yet the show was such that I couldn't pull myself away from it. "Charly" is still one of my favs from Prodigy and I can still remember sweating and grooving to it when I was a wee little clubber back in Limerick, when it first came out.
Another reason to throw this one at you this week is that the Prodigy have a new album out and while some have likened it to the early stuff, I am still on the fence. I definitely am not a fan of the first single, but who knows maybe it will grow on me...

"Aer Obama"

There are so many different Obama tracks that are popping up all over the place...some more politically charged then others. This is Adam Freeland's.....Daft Punk vs. Adam Freeland with their hit song "Aerodynamic"!

This makes you want to party like its January 20, 2009!

Funky President!

Today history was made in the US with the 44th President.

I think this video shows the energy and hope our new President has brought to this country!

It was a remarkable day for everyone not only in the US, but around the world. America has come along way since the civil rights movement. Hopefully this will inspire people around the world, that change can happen.

Saturday Blast From The Past

I've been sitting around wasting my Saturday morning looking at the smorgasboard of videos on Youtube and want to share sme of the videos that blew my mind back in the day when I saw them for the first time.
The first is "The Box" by Orbital. If you don't know of Orbital, you should.. Get out and buy their entire discography today. I was lucky enough to see Orbital live, soon after I moved to Boston in the mid 90's at Avalon. Avalon has since been levelled and there is a new House of Blues going up there as I type.
Anyhow this tune is hypnotizing and is simply amazing in it's infectiousness...

We are super stoked about this!
