Today is Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page’s 65th birthday, and so it is only fitting that I play out the day with my all time favourte Led Zep song Tangerine. Just a few things about this song, it’s been one of my favourite songs since I was a teenager and my dad can play it perfectly on guitar. I used to love doing the vocals when he played, and this song also had very special meaning for the first time … Read More »

David Bowie celebrates his 62nd birthday today, to honour this utter legend I’ve been killing my bandwidth on you-tube playing old songs. Song of my favourites include I’ve Been Waiting For You, Thursday’s Child and of course The Man Who Sold The World. My absolute favourite favourite though is Afraid – I love the lyrics, and the vocals, and this has been on my playlist for years. I wish I was smarter I got so lost on the shore I … Read More »

I was very excited to see that today was Kenny Loggin’s 61st birthday, as it gave me a chance to play my all time favourite cheese in the entire universe, Danger Zone. I don’t know why Kenny spends almost the entire song lying on his back on the bed, but I’m digging the aviator mullet vibe. The comments on this video are also worth a read, I love how YouTubers get so worked up over stuff. Happy Birthday Kenny, and … Read More »

Domestic Goddess in action I am a massive fan of Nigella, have read most of her books and adore her show. She is the inspiration for my love of baking, especially ice-cream making, and I honestly think that she is what a ‘perfect’ woman should be like – beautiful, real, warm and an utter goddess in the kitchen. And if that’s old fashioned, then too bad! Anyway, today is Nigella’s 49th birthday, and to me she’s as timeless as any … Read More »

Hot AND supremely awesome, loving it PVD’s birthday moment was almost eclipsed by Benjamin Bratt until I saw his name on the list, I just couldn’t pass up a chance to blast my favourite song of the PVD / Protoculture party – The Anthem. So, happy 37th PVD, and here’s the divine uplifting and stunning Tiesto track played by PDV on tour somewhere… enjoy.

Well that woke me up a bit – turns out today is Adam Brody’s 29th birthday and Stuart Townsend’s 36th. Nice As a massive fan of The O.C, I have always had a thing for hot geek Seth Cohen. Curls, dimples and geekiness is a kickass combination after all. Not kak And as for Mr. Townsend, hot Irish film legends are always worth a watch. I will try and remember to drink a birthday toast to them both later.

Music mogul and lyricist extraordinaire Mos Def turns 35 today, and to celebrate I thought we could have a listen to my favourite song – Miss Big Fat Booty. Loving that, and while it’s still a bit windy outside, the sun is shining and it’s just one more sleep til the weekend so if that isn’t reason to sit back and enjoy a damn good track and appreciate the summer zen-ness, then I don’t know what is.

Um… what was I saying again? The utterly gorgeous and talented Gael Garcia Bernal celebrates his big three oh today, and I have no doubt in my mind that he will be another one of the ‘improves with age’ brigade. I could tell he was one to watch as soon as I saw him in Y tu mamá también. Diego Luna isn’t bad either, but it was Gael’s brooding looks and perfect bone structure that won him a firm place … Read More »

Mike D come and rock the sure shot I am a massive Beastie Boys fan, I have almost all of their albums (or I used to have at any rate before I lost my music collection) and I think that rap has never been the same since they brought their particular brand of white boy mayhem to get us all up and jumping. From their early days as a punk rock group, when we would get drunk and sing along … Read More »
