Kinda Random but Totally Cult in My Record Collection #1

Los Microwaves “Life After Breakfast”

I came upon this record a bit out of the blue when it was recommended to me by my favourite ebay seller (a coldwave, synth, disco genius!) and since then I’ve loved it, it’s so crazy and stupid but so good at the same time. Enjoy.

Life after breakfast

When I went to London in November I took a stroll throughout the Pop Life exhibition at the Tate Modern and was kind of amazed by the Andy Warhol portrait of Grace Jones.
I thought shit, I’d like to have that on my walls so bad.

A few weeks later it was Xmas and my boyfriend who’s like, an amazing painter surprised me with my very own Grace Jones by Andy Warhol…So awesome.

Head over heels


Winter is definitely too cold, I just want spring now.

Sometimes I listen to a record for ages, I like this or that track but without being too crazy about any of them. Then one day I ‘rediscover’ the album and fall in love with a particular song; it’s like I never heard it before; it’s like a massive crush and I just can’t get enough of it.

Today I went to work and was well bored as usual, so I put on my ipod and listened to some banging tunes.
At some point this In Flagranti track came on and I was like, omg I haven’t heard this in a while, it is so so massive.
Anyway, you had a good xmas? I had some lovely presents, more on this soon.

Incarnation – In Flagranti
