It’s for helping you reach your musical climax safely
Sonic the Hedgehog has been popping Chaos Emeralds all night and has spent the last 3 hours sweating PowerRings out all over the hip new club, GreenHillzzz.
Rayza - Green Hill Zone (Euro Club ‘95 Mix)
Hattip: OverClockedReMix
Ok, so we’ve waved goodbye to 2007 and blogs all over the UK are getting rapidly updated due to the procrastination of students everywhere and INFTC is damned if it’s going to miss out on the action. We’ve all had our Christmas break and now we’re back with a new member and a round-up of the best, and worst, music we experienced in 2007; and anyone who even thinks of uttering the word ‘late’ gets a kick in the teeth!
Have you ever tried to look for perfection? Something which can’t be improved by anything at all. The best of its kind. The very thing all others like it strive to be. Like Reenie Hollis is to the group of attractive female bassists. Well, in Daft Punk’s One More Time I have found perfection. I’m not saying it’s the perfect song (that’d be silly). No no, this is the perfect p.
In the last three days we have received over 1300 hits. There are clearly many of you out there reading what we think about music. I’d rather you than me.
SABREPULSE

Paul Simon - Graceland
It was with amazement that a friend of mine, who is neither ignorant nor uncultured, confessed to having never heard of Paul Simon and to not being able to name a song by Simon and Garfunkel. It is to him therefore that I dedicate this entry/cultural lesson/period of enlightenment.
Sky Larkin -Dot2Dot Festival - Nottingham - 27th May 2007
Sky Larkin is definitely a favourite of mine, and of the blog-team as a whole. Thus, it’s with a heavy heart and much dismay that I don’t give this gig the glowing review that a band of their calibre deserve. Thankfully, with such high expectations it doesn’t matter too much when they fall slightly short.
Steve Winwood - Arc of a Diver
Steve Winwood is a fantastic soul musician. He’s not from Detroit. He’s not from Memphis. He’s from Birmingham. He’s not even black. Guess what? It doesn’t matter in the slightest.
The Beatles - Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
It’s with great disappointment that I don’t introduce this album with “Here’s an album that needs no introduction,” but alas the 21st century is home to the evils of Guantanamo Bay, genocide in Sudan, and people who’ve never heard of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts.
