Swooner Suite for Solo Cycle - A brand new exclusive mix by Rocky T. Delgado

Rocky did the 2nd ever Swooner mix 8 YEARS AGO 😬 so I was delighted he agreed to do another for the series! Perfect for cycling around (one ear bud only, not near traffic!) and getting lost in the vibes. It's really gorgeous, thanks Rocky!

Rocky's From The Forest Floor Mix

Accurate depiction of us in the forest.

Rocky has put together a deadly 2 hour mix with the tunes he played for Mother at the Reckless In Love stage at Body & Soul Festival recently. An arduous task: to try to recreate the forest vibes - but this mix goes some way to assuage my post-festival blues. Oh to be back there!

Terrible robot waiters: not just for Rocky

Look at him.

1983, Pasadena. A Chinese restaurant called Two Panda had two robot waiters that weren't very good, but played disco music when they got confused. Yes, it sounds like something out of a wonderful dream: "They’re programmed to be nice to customers — 'Will there be anything else?' and 'See you tomorrow' — in Japanese, English and Spanish. Patrons whose commands confuse the pair get the response: 'That’s not my problem,' accompanied by a short blast of disco music to which the bubbleheads dance back and forth." - but I just read about it on the internet. So you know it's true. It was on the Smithsonian blog so it might actually be real.  Too bad they were totally rubbish, or we could all be getting our dinner from disco lovin' robots today. Read the whole article here. 

And I thought terrible/ unbelievably deadly robot waiters were just in the movies. Amazing movies such as Rocky IV. Embedding of the robot clip isn't allowed but click here to see it in action, with its amazing birthday theme tune.  

Robot: PLEASE MAKE A WISH / Paulie: I wish I wasn't in this nightmare.

Something For The Weekend by Rocklord on Mixcloud

If, like me, you gave up disco and space laser noises for Lent, you are going to want to crack open these dance eggs and go to town on them with your greedy ear mouths. Or, craftily just eat the back out of them, then package them right back up and no one's any the wiser. I won't tell.

Also, this:

If you are even more greedy for laser noises, listen to Rocky's Sharon Street mix here.
