Not sure if it ever hit UK cinemas, but it has steadily acquired a cult status on DVD (rather like Spain’s REC) through excellent work of mouth. In a nustshell is it outlines the bond between a loner boy and his 12 year old vampire neighbour..sounds vaguely ridiculous but is definitely worth a view for the classy performances and its oddball take on the much trodden vampire genre.

P.S Any ideas what the titte means?

I’m away tomorrow for a week visiting the Golden Isle where there’s magic in the air (seriously..well kinda!), so here’s a nice to tune to leave you with Manoo and Francoice A on the amazing Buzzin Fly Records…

There’s no accounting for taste, Shakira’s latest single “She Wolf” is a bonafide hit in the UK but its a different story in the US where the slick disco sounds have failed to capture American radio’s imagination. Strange as its the only Shakira record I’ve ever liked (hey what do I know), her nascent warbles mellowed by the futuristic grooves.

Check out this really rather good remix from Filur

P.S Poor Shakira surrounded by all those sharks!

I love it when I get home after an ardous day at the office and there’s a small brown envelope waiting with the latest Fabric CD tucked inside, and today there was an extra quivver of excitement as a Radio Slave mix CD fell out..dark and dangerous to know Radio Slave are everything you want in dark twisted percussive house. Slammin!
