There is a light

'There is a light'
Hand printed screen print
£15.00

One of my favorite songs of all time and luckily one of Stephen Wade's (of onetwofive go!) who wanted one of these prints for himself, so he made one! He also made a few for the Lost In Paris store, which is nice.

This is a professional print 12x18 inches (for easy framing) printed on 13x19 stock paper with a 1/2" white border (like in the photos. Heavy weight, bright white paper matte presentation paper with double decker bus red ink.

We all knew I wouldn't be able to keep my promise...

...not to blog about Gonzales again this year, especially as he's now started his weekly residency for November in London at the Pigalle.
The first one was on Wednesday and was watched by Erol Alkan, thecocknbullkid, that one with the sparkly eyes from Klaxons, Ben Lingo and, erm, me.

His special guest was Jarvo Cocker and they debuted a cracking song about the highs and loves of Parisian life, called Francophobia. It's worth me breaking my word for...

Last week Phantasy released their sixth single 'Bangkok' by Boris Dlugosch. Erol Alkan's been banging it out in his DJ sets this year and it has proved so popular he has put it out through his own label!

It's been released as an exclusive through Beatport and will be followed by a very limited vinyl edition.

Hide your biros, Plan B is back

In 2007 Plan B's debut album, Who Needs Action When You've Got Words was played to death by me, with lyrics like "I'll stab you in the eye yo, with a f*ckin biro, the same f*uckin biro you use to sign your giro, you f*ckin wino..."
I was really surprised when I heard this track from Ben Drew as it sounds like he's discovered a pile of old soul records and has got obsessed. It's a good thing.
This track, and the subsequent new album has been overseen by uber-producer Paul Epworth too which promises a really interesting listen. So here's Stay Too Long...

To Survivors; I Love You

Thanks to Ben at Bureau Export and Ludo at French Up! for turning my attention to Coming Soon...Possibly my new favourite French indie band? Featured (with friends) alongside Jeffrey Lewis and Stanley Brinks on the awesome Berlin Songs compilation they're really up there with their idols over at K records. I think it will be no time at all before they are picked up on by us Brits and Yanks.

Their album 'Ghost Train Tragedy' is out now in France (buy through fnac). Also, check out the blogotheque's Coming Soon take away show.

Bizarrely I was in a coach crash when I was at school and so not surprisingly this song seemed to spring out at me:
