Too darned hot for us pale blue Scots, we a re genetically designed for temperatures of no greater than 70 degrees.

I was in belfast yesterday, landed in a thunder storm which I thought would clear the air, it didn't.

Didn't smell too great on the return flight last night even after dousing myself in aftershave at the duty free.

Oh go on, give us a tune.

I was in a steel band when I was at primary school, so I feel naturally suited to this heat just now.

Nice tune. I tried out some of the dance moves, but sadly I was more of an 'arthritic conga suck-ass meets Gordon Jackson'. Back in the day I was a poor man's Travolta. OK I'm dreaming.

The weather has been absolutely bloody awful here in Massachusetts. It's been raining constantly, second wettest June on record.

The sky is pitch black with a storm outside right now and it's 10 in the morning!

I lived next door to a couple of Nigerian lads in Saaaf London once - they were always playing the most amazing music, but I had no idea what any of it was.

Hey! It's on Spotify! Listening now...

I've been pikcing up latin funk vinyl comps, 3 for £10 at Spitalfields market one yesterday has refits of Summertime, Aquarius and Trans Europe Express!

Nice tune have you checked out this for similar - some spectacular suggestions for haircuts on the inner sleeve.

I picked it up in Virgin closing sale for some silly price

You must!

It's been wall-to-wall reggae, latin and mid-70s Stevie here for weeks - lovin' it.

Pablo's guitar playing? Somethin' else!!

My house is filled with the sound of dub and two-tone at the moment. And a great album by the Roger Webb Sound called Moonshade; it's one of those loungey library music things, but it's gorgeous and jazzy and summery. I may post some later on in the week...
