  • Closer 40

    Closer 40

    Joy Division’s Closer is 40 today…an album that means a lot to me, but reminds me of very dark times. So as a flip side of that dour darkness, to celebrate here’s George Michael and Morrissey in 1984 extolling their love – well partly in Moz’s case – for Joy Division. Closer was one of…

    Coming Out mix Part 1 – Coming Up

    Is it asking too much, of my favorite friends,to take these songs for real.Is it asking too much, of my partner’s hands,to take these songs for real? It’s just over 20 years since coming out, so I thought given all the current 90’s nostalgia I’d (re)create a mix of music that I was listening to…

So in honour of my 8-bit and 16-bit music days, here is a 8-bit/16-bit music special of…
