omg. i can not tell a lie. this cover of Duffy's Mercy, blows the original to shame. I immediately had to order the limited ed "45" (it's vinyl only). I don't actually have a record player tho ... so I'll figure the rest out later... :P

Take a listen!



The catalogue of the label (Acid Jazz) is too freakin' awesome. Momma gonna buy buy buy! There goes my 'allowance' this month :D Man I love when music gets me this giddy!!!

oh, and I just made Avon's Honour Society!!! w00T!!! :D

So... Trinidad in a strange inversion of the Justice League has been cozying up to China in recent years. Getting mad grants and importing mad amounts of Chinese labourers for government building projects. The justification is that they work harder and more reliably than 'locals' .. thanks Prime Minister!!! They form strange anonymous villages and much goes on about exactly how much they get paid and whether or not they fall under our labour laws and such (i suspect not). They don't speak much (any) English, but apparently being here for some time is starting to rub off on them and they are becoming Trinified!!! Signing up to play Carnival, joining steelbands and more... oh the lolz!!!

Check out this recent post from the 'fake' blog of our Prime Minister (hilarious satire, however apparently it has come to the attention of his office and he is none too pleased.. ugh)

Old Piarco Terminal refurb in jeopardy as Chinese catch mas' fever

oh and TriniGourmet recently got a shoutout in the online version of Condé Nast Traveler, w00t! :)

Anti-Conservatism lyrics, apocalyptic imagery and an amazing guitar solo make this one of my fave Suede tracks ever! :)

Not much of a Norah Jones fan, but her vocals on this track render it sublime :)

I love love love love love the force that is Santogold. Was blasting this track in Jason's car earlier :)

I love epic tracks and this was the one that showed the world that Radiohead were now operating on an entirely different level.

Cowboy madonna, definitely one of my fave incarnations. Always picks me up when I get down :)

Anyone in the mood for a little Yellow Ledbetter? This one is so underloved...

A good Pearl Jam memory from @rapsodie. I have this on vinyl... now I just need a new record player!! :D

An oldie but goldie from Pearl Jam... always puts me in a better frame of mine :)

OMG!!! OMG !!! I am crying and screaming and laughing and dancing... with J and my mom and dad ... i can't believe this even brought us together as a family!!! OMG OMGM OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo WOW!!!!!!!


WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
