HAPPY NEW YEAR??!!??

I can't BELIEVE it's been nearly four months since I posted anything on here. That is DISGUSTING behaviour!! Well, I'm sorry but I HAVE been busy and I now have around a dozen half-finished mash-ups and ideas for things (honest!) that will be posted here very soon.
In the mean time, a very clever guy calling himself VJ Brewski has made a video for my Paul Young / Nelly Furtado thing!
The two visuals do work well together in a strange sort-of way, although you can't ignore the fact that the Furtado vid must have cost a thousand times the budget of the Paul Young promo. But at least Paul's tells a little story and he gets to do some acting, not just fanny about in front of a helicopter...

COME BACK AND SAY IT RIGHT

I'd been looking for a 12" version of Paul Young's "Come Back And Stay" since I first heard "Say It Right" and eventually found a copy in one of Notting Hill's second-hand establishments, for the gargantuan sum of 10p!

That's right, TEN WHOLE PENCE!!


I can't think of a single thing that costs 10p, not even nasty little cheapo sweets! There's not a scratch on it either!
The downside, however, is it's awful.

I was hoping there would be some nice instrumental sections or maybe a few Pino Palladino licks but this is one of those 1983 extended-remix-for-the-sake-of-it type things: horrible out-of-time delay on the snares, some nasty farty bass sound and any empty parts are filled with s-s-s-sampled vocal snippets by the backing singers (who were called 'The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts' - what's THAT all about?).

Now, I could probably use some of these sections but they're technically so badly done, you might think it was ME and I can't have that! The addition of a little breakbeat helps move things along a little and here's the finished result:
