Kashif - I Just Gotta Have You

Another casualty of 2016. RIP

Three Degrees - Maybe

This just needs to make it, baby, make it.

Okay Temiz - Denizaltı Rüzgarları

It's the last day of summer. Only a few more hours to make everything ok again.

Kari Faux - Supplier

Did we, ummm. Did we post this already??

Gloria - Beam me up

Good new psych from France's Gloria. And the video looks a little familiar.

Madness - One Step Beyond

Well, a lot of things have come to light about this song. Suggs wasn't really in the band. As you probably suspected, the saxophone is a little bit out of tune. And that step they do, which would later become synonymous with their 'nutty boy' alter egos, was borrowed from Ian Dury & the Blockheads. But Prince Buster just died, another victim of the remorseless soul-eater that is 2016, and fuck it, it's Madness.

Independents - I Love You, Yes I Do

Originally the B side to Leaving Me, I Love You, Yes I Do was one of the first records that made the record companies take notice of the emerging disco movement.

Ballet Zoom - Cats

The very fine line between brilliant and horrendous. So many great ideas, except the part where it deals with cats.

Mel Torme & Buddy Rich on the Merv Griffin Show (1979)

If you're not interested in the creepy lyrics to the otherwise sublime standard that is "Love for Sale", you can cut right to these two old friends tearing it up at 1:25. Who knew the Velvet Fog could scat like that?
