News from the Front

Been a while since I added some news in here. Not much to tell, but here's a compilation I recently digged. If you've ever been able to visit Hamburgs notorious (gay) club Front, you should spend some €€€ here. Amazingly compiled Mix CD (seperate tracks on two vinyl editions) by Klaus Stockhausen and Boris Dlugosch. I haven't bought a Club CD for a while since I own or know most of the tracks. But here's some real gems from a bunch of artists I haven't heard of yet or almost forgot about, reminding me of the Horse Meat Disco series, but more housey. Some pure Disco/House pleasure reminding me of times, when people just danced crazy and not hopping from one foot to another, facing the DJ for a whole night. Plus touching liner notes and really intimate photo coverage. My legacy compilation of the year.

With these hands I've crushed the dreams of every man...

Jesus, I pretty much like Michael J. Sheehy, not even since Dream City Film Club, but most since his release "Ghost On The Motorway". If you like it deep, spritual, raw and dirty, you will dig him! His recent release "With These Hands" on Glitterhouse Records, proves himself again to be an amazing story teller, composer and vocalist. It's an album about boxer Francis Delaney, a tragic figure struggeling with promoters, boxers, hookers, gangsters in a raw Blues meets Gospel and Country from hell outfit.
No question, Michael J. Sheehy is a great live act too and currently tours with his band, The Hired Mourners. You should definetly catch him at your local pit for some exercise!
