Messages from beyond the grave

Greetings whiteboydancefloor faithful,

It certainly has been a long time between drinks for myself with other commitments literally ruining my time to sit on the net and listen to ooddles of music. However I am here to make amends with a whole bucket load of new tracks that have grabbed me of late.

Nick Norton - Where is the soul

Frontman of whiteboydancefloor favourites Gang Awry, Nick Norton's solo music was the antidote that awoke my sleeping blogger heart. "Where is the soul" is an archetype on how to bring the funk. Nothing has set my funky soul on fire like this since "Needing a new high" which coincidently is another straight out of the Nick Norton top draw. Top shelf stuff this is.

Delorentos – Basis of Everything

For me this one is an absolute cracker. Radio feeds you filth like “Pictures of you” & anything new from Nickleback a good alternative rock song is hard to come by these days if you don’t look in the hidden pockets. Without losing its edge it keeps the melody up to par and delivers a big chorus. It’s difficult not to like something as inoffensive as this.

Sir Salvatore – Townies

A great little cracker of a track that really sweep me along for the ride after a few listens. I suppose you'd say it's a tad rough around the edges but it awakens an enjoyment in raw music I don't think I've had since I left high school. They do the simple things right, a rare little treat.

And a big one for me this past week or two has been the arrival of the Yves Klein Blue ep into my sweaty little hands. When I first came accross these lads via the mercurial Sandwich Clubbers I was neither here nor there on them really but upon a live meeting with them I became even more taken with their swagger. While it is undeniable they are channelling the style and vibe of many other bands that have come before them, the blend Yves Klein Blue put on it all sits very nicely with me. They've got a sound which will serve as good currency at other places around the world and a trendy frontman. They don't set my world on fire but they are certainly one to watch if this ep serving is anything to go by.

Here's what they're packing... the track Polka is most probably their most solid.

Finally I thought I'd throw in something a bit fun. This is a piss poor smash hits top 40 track from back in the day which I cannot seem to shake a fondness for.

If you perfect the words, find a large mirror and pretend you're not ugly... the fun this song can deliver is endless
