It's Friday . . . Let's Dance
One half of the duo that recorded the original of today's track won't be happy with this post, he described the remix as "girly disco music" if you hadn't already guessed we are taking about possible the greatest remix of all time and it isn't by Andrew Weatherall, the quote is from Eric B and the remix is by Coldcut. For all of Eric B's disdain for Seven Minutes of Madness as it was subtitled became the benchmark for remixing. made a name for Coldcut but not much richer, they were paid 700 quid for it and became a hit all over Europe. I never tire of this record. I have also included Coldcut's deconstruction of the track, where they identify all of the samples and where they came from which is pretty informative, who'd have thought they sampled Playschool.
Last weekend we had the kid on Lanarkshire derby when Motherwell took on Hamilton, tomorrow sees the real deal when Airdrie host Albion Rovers, three points would be good. I will be spending the rest of the weekend fixing Max's bedroom wall and then re-hanging the radiator that he pulled off the wall from lying along the top of it!
Have a good weekend people.

Ouch! This is something that Little Loser might easily manage to do as well, but luckily we got underfloor heating, so .... :-)
I love that track, and I've never heard the Coldcut deconstruction. Thanks a lot!
Snap!
Radiator now back on the wall but can I get the thermostatic valve to fit!
Underfloor heating's the future Dirk.
Enlightening Luca isn't it?
