DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN

Oh dear. I'm actually old enough to remember the track that Lyrikill's Don't Shoot Me Down bites samples - Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. And I mean I'm old enough to remember it coming out, not just old enough to remember it from a retro DJ set! I'm even old enough to remember Captain Lou Albano acting a fool in the damn video clip. Now I give this track three thumbs up, but I can see a LOT of DJs hating the f--k out of it. Here's some of the feedback it's getting online (taken from the forum where Lyrikill himself leaked the track):

* "Wtf!!! R u f--king out of your mind for posting this s--t!!!!!!!!!!!!"
* "I'd cruise down the street and bump this. It has radio appeal for sure."
* "are you trying to get sued by Cyndi Lauper or what"
* "as soon as i heard the Cindy Lauper sample i was about ready to click the red [X] at the top right corner of my internet browser window, but something made me keep listening... this is actually really catchy. well done."

Listen to it below and decide for yourself!

PATTY MILLS > RICKY RUBIO

Got no data, no facts to back it up, no links to any articles helping my case, but when all is said and done Patty Mills will have a better NBA career than Ricky Rubio. There I said it.

(NOTE: I also said Nathan Jawai would be better than Hakeem Olajuwon, but to be fair the jury is still out on that one.)

XO THIS SATURDAY - OLD SCHOOL ROOM!

For some reason, a lot of people think I'm anti-old school. I love old school - but GOOD old school. Too many clubs use the term "old school" as code to say "commercial music". So come down to XO this Saturday night and hear some real, authentic old school in the second room with DJ Carl Alley and DJ Naiki! Email XO to get on the free guestlist.

ALMOST FORGOT... ORIGIN!

Got caught up in plugging my clubs last week and almost forgot about this! Dude was clearly out. Sorry NSW. Again. Big shoutout to my bro Duncan for the image above too!

XO THIS SATURDAY - XO CLASSIC

Already got a lot of good feedback about the concept of XO this Saturday night - XO CLASSIC - playing all the hits that have been and gone since we started XO almost four years ago.

PLUS the second room will be open with DJ Carl Alley and DJ Cookie playing old school R&B! Should be a great night, email here for free guestlist.
