This a flashback from my early childhood. I had it on 7 inch vinyl. It was a big hit back in the err…. day. I didn’t have MTV, not many did – a satellite dish was well pricey – you might get to watch it in the pub on the…

Rita Ora – Don’t Think Twice
I am a bit slow on the uptake with pop music and it takes me a while to get down with it and discover all these great new pop artists. When I heard that they were interviewing Rita Ora on BBC Breakfast this morning my onboard DJ radar started beeping and I thought, yep,…

Céu – Varanda Suspensa (Tropix)

Madonna – Like A Prayer
Poor Madge has been unwell over the past week. God, there have been so many music artists leaving us recently. I would hate to see Madonna disappear. I tweeted her best wishes to GET WELL SOON and said “A World Without Madonna is not a World.” She is an artist…
