(It’s Cosmic) In The Air Tonight
phil collins – in the air tonight (extended version) (mp3)
for those of you who know him, you might be mistaken for thinking this is a picture of my good friend kev, unfortunately you would be wrong………although they are almost identical in facial hair adornment, it is in fact, a young phil collins……
the reason for the genesis man gracing our pages is because i thought id share with you my two best record buys of last week……..one of them being a 50p find in my local help the aged ‘boutique’ and the other being a japanese import that cost me an arm and two legs…..
the first is the extended version of phil collins – in the air tonight, which (in a totally un-ironic way) is a frickin’ great tune with a hypnotic bassline and lovely piano interludes………………….apparently, said tune, was featured regularly on the miami vice show back in the early 80’s, which, co-incidentally, had a cameo appearance from mr collins, where he played a nasty, good for nothing crook called ‘phil the shill’……..completely useless information i know, but a question on such a subject is bound to pop up on your local pub quiz sooner or later…….
port of notes – walk through happiness (lindstrom remix) (mp3)
the second track on crue-l records is titled ‘walk through happiness’ and is a 11min remix of slo-mo cosmic action from everybody’s favourite, hans-peter lindstrom……………the original version done by port of notes is on the b-side, and all though its a pleasant little tune in its own rights, its lindstroms epic remix which is the winner here, enjoy…..and if you like, dig deep and buy

The Common Web Badger added these pithy words on Oct 27 05 at 5:10 pmPhil is one of quite a few people who have suffered at the hands of many a so-ironic-it- hurts-my-mullet DJ over the last few years.
Irony’s rubbish – if it’s a good tune it’s a good tune and people need to stop being snobs (remember, no-one liked the Beatles in the 80s).
Here’s my top 5 tunes that have been rescued from irony :
5 – Madonna – Holiday (narrowly beating Get Into The Groove with an awesome bass-line as stolen by the Avalanches)
4 – Fleetwood Mac – Everywhere (I know Mark’s listing it at the moment but another fine bass-line and those ‘aaaahh, oooohh’s)
3 – Chris Rea – Josephene
2 – Tears For Fears – Everybody Wants to Rule the World (thanks to Mr Buckley)
1 – Paul Simon – You Can Call Me Al (’derrr deh deh deh!’)Now Mark for a test of your Collins trivia – what’s the name of the dog in the video for Sussudio? (which incedently has an earth shattering electric drum pad snare thing going on).
Kev added these pithy words on Oct 27 05 at 7:21 pmchris – were you there when steve (from piccadilly) dropped your #1 in common? killer track.
Mark added these pithy words on Oct 28 05 at 10:22 ambadger……thats some top 5 you’ve got there…..(3 of which, you are more than likely to hear down at common on a saturday im glad to say)………angry girl from last saturday night (the one who threatened to kill me for playing fleetwood mac), will not be down with your top 5 however….i think she should be barred, she was a complete penis….
that phil collins trivia question has stumped me, i have been trailing the internet lookin for answers but no joy…..so heres my wild guess….is the dog called phil???
anyway, thats me done….im off to plug my straightners in so i can finish off my uber mullet…ohhhh im so ironic it hurts.
bodger xp.s danny n jonny went to romp last night…..i feel sick

oooh i feel some “stick giving” is imminent … they ain’t gonna get away with that!
The Common Web Badger added these pithy words on Oct 29 05 at 7:18 pmSorry Mark but it was a genuine question about the dog (not sure if it was the same one that was in Benjy, Zac and the Alien Prince).
Danny? At Romp?
Not sure that Sir Rompalot himself can give too muchstick (although you’ve definitely grown out of it).
Danny? At Romp?
What IS the World coming to?
Sir Jeff of Jeff added these pithy words on Nov 01 05 at 6:05 amCan i just stress that my close friend Jonny told me that it was Danny’s idea to go to romp, he’s was mad for it. He wanted a beuatiful lady to make him feel special.
Ultimate respect for Phil and his excellent percussion skills, he certainly has a way with words too, in a sound track for some shonky disney film he managed to rhyme the word ‘festival’ the words ‘best of all’ top drawer i think you’ll agree
