I'll see your Billy Ocean with the cream of eighties super-stardom:


Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer


which suddenly made me think of:


MC Hammer - Can't touch this


and through train of thought to:


DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Boom Boom Shake the Room


I'm done now, sorry.

from the "whatever happened to" website

After the release of their debut LP, Totally Krossed Out, in 1991, Chris Kelly and Chris Smith got everyone to wear their clothes backwards. But only for a little while. Then they made their comeback with Young, Rich and Dangerous (1996), although they were neither young, rich, nor dangerous. Whatever happened to them remains a mystery, but be comforted that their producer, Jermaine Dupri, is not doing much either nowadays, and that a fanatic fan has started his own Kris Kross Day, wherein everyone wears their clothes backwards. The last Kris Kross Day managed to turn out a whopping 20 participants, up fourteen people from three years ago. Where's the love? Oh, there it is.

Oh keef, look what you've gone and reminded me of you bad man.

Vanilla Ica - Ninja Rap


Go nin-ja go nin-ja go!


Mind you, on the bright side, that's gone and reminded me that I'm sorry, if I upset ya, to get the better of me I wouldn't let ya

Paranoid - the song that never gets old -


Judas Priest - that one always reminds me of Beavis and Butthead


ANd have a big hug for even knowing Microdisney existed much less the new compilations was out. Also out this week is a 2CD rerelease of the Fatima Mansions finest hour (arguably) - Viva Dead Ponies

Mockney, can't find any rockers using Moogs, might need to wait until Progressive Thursday to unleash the ELP / Yes tracks but they mustn't overlap with Krautrock Friday

Hawkwind - Silver Machine - Don't think it's a Moog, possibly a ring modulator of some kind?

Bloody hell! Hawkwind. That takes me back. Windsor Free festivals, early 70s. Stacia, the dancer, she of the enormous boobs and crazed make-up would dance naked in front of the band. Half of the audience would be tripping, including myself, the band too. Took an awful lot of acid when I was a teenager and they were part of the soundtrack.

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
