Still alive...................

Don't believe the hype.... The Amigo's haven't been killed by the BNP in retaliation for bad press....... In fact, we've been doing what any self respecting person does during summer, hanging out in fields listening to music and bathing in sun and sea.



But, on this mediocre Saturday morning i find myself with time on my hands and nonsense in my head, plus a few musical niceness to put out there. Also worth mentioning that 3 out of 4 Amigo's managed to share a sweaty tent in Wales for a bit at the Workhouse Festival a few weeks ago and there's rumors of the seldom seen 4th Amigo hitting British shores for a Christmas slot, but you never know with him to be honest!

Right..... Sun's out, i'm off.......

Delphic - This Momentary (Golden Bug Remix)

Friendly Fires - Jump in the Pool (Thin White Duke Mix)

The Twelves - 5min Mini Mix

The wolves are at the door!

Not normally a political follower, (burn them all i say!!!!!) I was jolted from my hangover today by the terrible news that the BNP party had won a seat in Burnley....... I shit you not, it made me feel sick

I'm not going to bang on about it but this is a turn for the worse. Get online, sign some petitions and make a difference


We plan to stick to the music here at the Amigo Allstars hub but felt we had to say something.... and we should all say more......


Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come

Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come

Don Diablo vs De la Soul - Stand up for Me, Myself and I

Keep it in the family...................

On my recent visit to Melbourne I looked up one of my distant cousins for a spot of lunch and ended up squatting in her spare room for a few days. The room had a few samplers and mic's hanging around and it turns out her boyfriend is the MC in the popular Hip Hop duo Low Budget. A modest bloke he didn't big up his music and it wasn't until a few days later I actually heard any of their stuff. I liked it. Nice and funky with a hint of comedy and fromage! They just released their second album, Laserdisc, so check out there Myspace and if you like their stuff - buy it!

Gooday Amigo’s…… Stigos here, reporting in from Sydney in the dying days of my world tour. As you can imagine it’s been a whirlwind of barbies, beer and beaches* since I arrived in Oz which has taken it's toll I can tell you! So i've taken a few quiet minutes and sifted through the digital goldmine that is the interweb to deliver a quick 5 Antipodean hits that are rockin my iPod downunder and helping me sleep soundly on the bus.

An Aural Long Island Ice Tea that is the Amigo’s sound ……..

1. Elvis Presley – Crawfish (Pilooski edit)
2. Wolfgang Gartner – Flashback
3. Micachu – Golden Phone
4. Lykke Li – Dance Dance Dance (Buraka Som Sistema Mix)

5. Onra – The Anthem

Get'um quick before the links die!

Over and Out

Stigos

*Replace with: Noodle cups, cheap wine and inner city downpours
