YUM YUM Cologne finally taking place on Fri Nov 26th @ Bahnhof Ehrenfeld and after that as a monthly venue, which is supposed to be the nice spot in town. The right folks and time to see & hook up with some of our friends back in Cologne. I ll have more things to say when i find out more about it…
Prime time french hip hop that is catchy as hell. Played it a couple of times and all the french and arab guys go apeshit for this tune. reminds me of the good old I Am days. Supposed to be an anthem in France and i wouldnt doubt it. Its an anthem in my book for sure.

Another anthem that has been keeping my ipod busy and i see it popping up on all kinds of reggae sites but like usual it was the heatwave blog that brought us the goods first.

To label it less soulful would be an insult, but i guess you know what i mean when i put it that way. Enjoy and welcome back [audio:Foreign Exchange “Laughing at your plans”] Foreign Exchange…
Another great Sharon Jones gem that already came out in april this year, but somehow slipped the radar. I like the feel of it, the handclappy snare, the horn section, the doo wop piano and of course her vocals. Once more Sharon delivers the goods.
