  • A Little Track Called ‘I Feel Love’

    Who’d have thought that a little disco track created way back in 1977 could still be causing such a storm over thirty years later? I’m talking about Donna Summer’s amazing I Feel Love, and the best thing about it is that it only ever seems to get better with time. Unsurprisingly, there’s been countless covers, bootleg’s and…

  • Learning The Basics

    I’ve always shied away from buying plain T-shirts and neutral vests as I saw them as well, boring.  However, each summer I find myself ransacking drawer upon drawer in search of a simple top that’s both cool and stylish yet I always end up empty handed. So in light of this forever-fruitless task and because…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Novelty Songs

    It’s all been a bit crazy in The Fashion Office lately. We’ve barely left our desks and we’re lucky if we’ve said much more than a word or two to each other in over a week!  That old thing called work has a lot to answer for… So, we’re having a bit of fun with our…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Madonna Songs

    Believe it or not, it seems that The Fashion Office have somehow neglected covering Madonna so far (a little like last week’s theme). Possibly a punishable crime, we’re setting about putting our sins right by devoting this week’s post to our recommended, or rather favourite, songs by none other than the queen of pop. A timely…

  • Milos Pesovic, Inna & An Answered Prayer

    …And as if by magic, my prayers have been answered. Where would the world of house music be without remixes? Thank you Milos Pesovic.

  • CR2 Records Release MYNC, Harry Choo Choo Romero & Jose Nunez Compilation

    So along with a totally unrelated, really rather random postcard, I recieved CR2 Record’s latest compilation in the post bag.

  • This Is Me: Jonny McGuinness

    He’s been around the world on a super-tight budget, is partial to running around half naked, holds He-Man as an unlikely style icon and now, he’s about to embark on one of the biggest challenges of his working life. In the second of our This Is Me interviews, we grilled Coventry’s finest export, actor/comedian Jonny…

    Look what arrived. A smart piece of advertising from domestic goddesses Homebirds. Pretty cool huh? Want to know what’s been in the post bag in the past? Look no further than here.

  • Inna – Hot (True Love Edit)

    Horrific video, hideous singing, absolutely brilliant balearic base track – here’s hoping Inna’s Hot gets relased minus vocals!
