Gurt lush! Reminds me to dig out the Earthling singles I have gathering dust somewhere :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anwe! I didn't strictly stick to "Bristol remixing Bristol" (unless there's a hitherto unrevealed story that Declan MacManus lived a while in Knowle West, across the road from a young Adrian Thaws) but Earthling were a really interesting act. I nearly went for the Portishead remix of 1st Transmission as the lyrics are slightly tweaked to namecheck Stokes Croft, but the remix of Nefisa is epic.
ReplyDeleteDon't think Elvis lived in Knowle as I used to see him working in the chipper on Muller Rd.(! :-) ) before he & Cait got married & moved out Pucklechurch way...allegedly.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely plausible. I lived in Ashton for a few years and Ron Mael and Rod Stewart regularly walked past the house. It was like living on Stella Street :-)
