Talking of radio, the missus and I recently joined forces to craft a second chibe.info presents radio show. To use one of my chums’ Gareth Butterworth’s trademarks, we had pretty much the biggest versus ever.
One of the categories we faced off on was ‘2010 Hot Shot’. I chose Pariah, who’s remixed Ellie Goulding, The Xx and Bombay Bicycle Club. But, it was between him...

I like this video. I like this game. I like this music.
Enjoy. And go play with a hot blonde.
I updated my dad’s iPod this morning with all sorts of new music. He said I could use it for the stockroom if I uploaded a new album each day, see. Today I covered the rest of the week with countless additions. One, being the EP of the band above; The Drums. Click play, trust me, you’ll be whistling the intro all day long.
Anyway, today at work - I was blasting out the EP in an...
A week is too long.
If I ever record a video for a pop single, I’ll sing and jive like the man in this one. Shaking my hips with reckless abandon. You know how it goes, you make my dreams come true.
OH, OHHH...

What a video. And when Creative Review are tweeting about it, you don’t need me to tell you that.
This has been one of the recurring tunes of the summer for me. And their self-titled debut album has certainly been one for these past summer months too. So far, I’ve missed them at festivals - and they’re touring the US throughout October. Fingers crossed for a UK tour the...

Jack. Beats. What?
Here’s notice that chibe has gone all gypsy[man], coming to you live today from Starbucks - I know, but it was the nearest place with free (almost) Wi-Fi. Harrogate heads, if you can offer me a more prime location, please do?
chibe HQ has slowly but surely been packed up and moved south - about eleven miles - to the capital of Middle England, Harrogate. The updates...
Just listen to this please...
PON DE FLOOR.
If I can’t go to Notting Hill Carnival, then I will go to the Warehouse Project. Dem babies a dance dem, remember.
So it’s old. And LCD Soundsystem were cool long before Topman sold skinny jeans. But this video is just brilliant. Click play and watch, listen and enjoy.
I can only apologise for the stunted and somewhat brief updates of late, but there’s lot in the offing/development for those at chibe HQ at the minute - and those we like too. Keep a beady eye out, won’t you.

Mine’s a pint of Thatcher’s please dearest.

Isn’t that nice?
The acoustic chilled relaxed chibe of t’above Bombay Bicycle Club Black Cab Session has been much needed today after a big night out in Harrogate last night with some of my finest chums. If you’ve got me on Facebook, you can see pictures of us in our “golf” attire (the theme was tennis hoes and golf pros, lovely - I know) on there.
While one of...
