time to love something new???

hey…sorry for the slackness on the posting lately…. sometimes its good to love something new ….dont you think? when you love the same thing for so long you kinda loose the magic it created in the first place…why am i talking about this you may ask? well its time to love GLASVEGAS…if you like this beautiful track get their first album off itunes or beatport and press play and prepare too love…you know you kinda play this album from track one to ten and it just flows and makes you wander aimlessly around streets or sing loudly in your crap irish faked accent and then its over….and you know what …you fuckin play it again and its got you…..just like love

TRENTEMOLLER … you read my mind

i remember being in the transkei once with just an ipod and and a copy of trentemollers “the last resort” .. days would go by lying on the beach tryna let go to start again ,watching cows cool down in the sea and kids playing soccer on the beach with an empty 2LT coke bottle … i never took those headphones off . here is something new .. a remix of THE RAVONETTES lust…beautiful song but this remix just breaks me… ”i fell out of heaven to be with you in hell”

the LOUCAS POLYDOROU greek god of love interview..

Loucas Polydorou rides skateboards and plays music – we think he is pretty talented & decided to take 10 minutes with him so you can know him too

loucas_pic_lrg.jpg

We have wanted to do this interview for some time so before we get into an in depth conversation with you… could you drop us the all important detail… are you single????
Jesus, is that the first question? No, I am dating a spectacular little lady (who is actually quite pissed off about these questions).

This should be about skateboarding I guess but I find myself drawn to the dark mysterious side of Loucas Polydorou …the real you. I heard they call you the Greek god of love?
You’ve got me confused with that Gregory Maclaish fellow. Apparently that’s what he calls himself.

You just moved to Cape Town (how happy are we?) and they say Cape Town is the GAY capital of southern Africa …how much of a part did this play in your relocation?
Oh, really? That’s pretty interesting. I would think that the whole of Durban thinks that is why i moved here.

You currently work at a call centre - would you quit there to work a massage parlour for R300 an hour? Exactly how far would you go if the customer was flashing crisp R200 notes?
I dunno. It kind of sounds tempting. I always think that i should flog my body towards the end of the month when i get broke. No happy ending.

Let’s play PICK YOUR ULTIMATE DREAM JOB!!!!!!
a) topless barmen at Bronx
b) camps bay fire juggler
c) an erotic stage dancer at THE CAGE
B sounds more hippy, but i would definitely have to go with b.

A close and reliable source revealed you have had tribal tattoo work done on your lower back …..firstly did it hurt???? And secondly do you feel this has played any role in achieving the status of the Greek god of love……
(Laughs) Christ no! No tramp stamps!

How happy were you when you find out Kele Okereke of bloc party was gay?
Ecstatic. Even more when i found out that Yannis Philippakis of Foals was gay too.

Which part of your body makes you feel special??????
(Laughs)How do you expect me to answer a question like that? I dunno Jon. I recently shaved my legs. It took me an hour. So, my freshly shaven legs. (Laughs)

Have you ever won a skate comp?
I’m not mentaly retarded enough.

Would you rather eat a steak or have your drink spiked at a gay bar
The spiked drink one. Fuck eating meat you vegetrendian!

I love hot random make out movie scenes ..You know…the beach scenes with the water lapping at young lover’s feet…the office scene with the recliner chair and the secretary oblivious outside… for me personally the more random and raunchy the better someone once told me they saw you making out on the bonnet of a car?? wow…. I have only dreamt of that since watching natural born killers as a kid any tips from the Greek god of love on improving our chances of having out of this world experiences such as that…. what is your secret?
You should ask Gregory that. I can neither confirm nor deny that anything like that ever happened

I actually read the new Session today, there are so many fuck heads vibing each other. I think that someone even called me out on something. Whatever, I’m over it anyway.

Let’s just put ‘Idiots that carry skateboards around like they’re fashion accesories’ down. You make me sick and embarassed to be a skateboarder.

If the world was about to end and you had time for one last song…what would it be
‘Nervous Breakdown’ by Black Flag

BLOC PARTY… let the remixes begin

bloc party just released intimacy … a different direction for them i must say but after releasing the FLUX single one could pretty much see they were onto something else.as with all their previous albums everyone wants to remix them so as soon as the album seperates are leaked you gonna be seeing some crazy remixes appearing …. we posted the mercury herve remix a month back and here is the second remix to surface from plimsouls….enjoy…oh yeah…happy friday!
