Ambl3r Gambl3r & John Shuttleworth ~ LEGENDS!

November selections

This was probably the hardest month of the year to find new music. As we’ve mentioned before, loads of stuff has been released since the end of the summer ready for the autumn and Christmas, so there hasn’t been much that’s really new. Also we’ve included some novelty stuff like the Muppets and Peter Kay already on the blog. Anyway, this is what we’ve picked …

Joe has chosen …
Comments and revised video links to follow! (Sorry)
Chipmunk ~ Look For Me

Kano ~ Rock N Roller (Vandalism Remix)

Pitbull Ft. Akon ~ Shut It Down

Taio Cruz ~ No Other One (Ian Carey Remix)

N-Dubz ~ I Need You (Red Top Mix)

And here are Paul’s selections from November …

Ke$ha ~ Tik Tok
When I first heard this, what seems like ages ago, I thought it was just a Lady Gaga copy! But it’s really grown on me and every time it comes on the radio I just have to turn it up!

Kaskade & Deadmau5 ~ Move For Me
This passed me by when it first got released at the beginning of the year – goodness knows why, I love it!

Lily Allen ~ Who’d Have Known
Thank goodness for Lily – another fabulous release from the album “It’s Not Me, It’s You”. It’s a really beautiful song, and then … there’s the video!

John Mayer ~ Who Says
One of my favourite recording artists is back with a new album and here’s the first single released in the States. Nothing to do with disco’s – just great!

Calvin Harris ~ Flashback
Yet another brilliant tune from Calvin Harris. I can’t believe how good this album is, and how much he’s moved on from “I Created Disco”.
Now this is really freaky … compare and contrast this video with the John Mayer one above!

Christmas Number One?

The Muppets version of Bo Rap seems to have come from nowhere and this vid has been viewed over 3,500,000 times in just a few days, so this maybe the Christmas number one.

It’s also worth noting that the Chris Moyles Parody album, which was released this week, has a Christmas song on it. At the time of writing, the album is number two on the iTunes chart behind SuBo (Susan Boyle), but the Christmas track, “It’s Never Gonna Snow”, is not available to download yet – I think we can all see what they’re doing!

The Lapstone & Children In Need

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome at the Lapstone on Friday night – we hope to see you again soon. Special thanks to Sean and Chris who are now well and truly waxed. Together we raised a great amount per head, well done.

Because we were working I didn’t get to see a lot of the TV show on Friday but there are two things I think you should check out…
On Thursday night the Children In Need Rocks The Royal Albert Hall concert was broadcast. Gary Barlow pulled together a fantastic show and it’s available to view on the BBC iPlayer – well worth a watch.

On Friday saw the launch of the 2009 Children In Need single – it’s absolutely fantastic. Click here to go the official site for the seven minute “making of” video which will explain far better than I ever could.

Children In Need do great work – if you can give a bit more please do.

Gold ~ spread the love!

As some of you already know, I’ve been working with another DJ from my Martines days on a project we call Gold. Part of this is a radio show we’ve put together. The first station to take us is Morpher Radio in the UK.
Morpher Radio

Our show is broadcast on Thursdays from 14:00 to 16:00 GMT, and then repeated a couple more times – see the show schedule page on Morpher for more details.
The shows are also available to download and details can be found on our Gold blog at …
Gold

The radio station is for real enthusiasts so tend to push the envelope a bit on what we’d normally expect to play at our live shows. We’d love it if you’d like a dedication or a request, you can send me an email or post a reply on our blog or facebook group – Gold Hampshire. If you are on facebook please join us – you’d be very welcome, and spread the word to anyone you think would be interested.

Cheers to you all!

Paul ;o)

Be careful what you wish for!

Last weeks X-Factor saw Jedward saved by the public vote and Lucie (one of my top 5) leave the show.
I’ve been happy to support the Grimes twins as they make a mockery of the show but we should all remember it’s all about ratings and manipulating the media to raise the show’s profile.

This week was the last Saturday show I’ll get to see live as the Christmas Party season is about to start. At the moment I can’t see anyone that’s going to be as good as Alexandra or JLS, but maybe things will improve. I don’t like Ollie, I can’t imagine Stacey coping, I think the others just aren’t good enough, I thought Lucie was good enough to be in the final 3 – but what do I know!

The highlight of last nights show was Jedward and the special appearance of Calvin Harris and a pineapple. Check it out here …
