OK, it's by a group called Macho (appropriately). Here is more info.

That site linked me to GEMM, which would appear to be an online archive of the stock of loads of independent record stores around the world. They showed me to the door of a shop that had the tune and let me buy it online. Presumably they'll deliver the cash to my man and my vinyl will be here ASAP. To continue todays exclamation theme, this is the best service ever! Goodbye sweet debit card! Man, I fucking love the internet so much.

There is a literally gigantic disco funk version of the Spencer Davis Group's I'm a man. It's absolutely incredible!

They've hooked a rocksteady funk bassline and some 80s synths on to the already fantastic melody. The lyrics are sung by some guy with that quality stunted accent typical of Italo disco. This is one of my favourite tunes anyway. Oh, the ecstasy!

I must have it.

I bought a brand new Powerbook!

It's the 15", 1Ghz, 512mb, 60Gb, Airport kind. I stripped out the DVD writer 'cos it would just sit idle and it's £170 that I can spend on beer.

I'm fucking elated! A brand sparkly Powerbook, touched by none other, is on it's way straight from Apple. After owning eight computers in my life, this will be the first brand-new boxed one.

I'm kind of stuck what to call it. Diane, the name of my current iBook, came from Twin Peaks. She is Coop's PA, though we never see her and she is only mentioned by Coop as he dictates to her. I thought it was appropriate. After just leafing through a few pages of TP trivia (check out Twin Peaks online), I may opt for Margaret, the Log Lady's real name. If you are unfamiliar with TP, sort it out!

Nothing to say this week, everything's going pretty well. Last week was fairly hard, the long meeting made me tired and then writing up the proposal afterwards was fairly non-stress-free. However, Louise and I went shopping yesterday and I bought records for the first time in ages. I bought some wicked tunes, but I just want to buy more! I had planned to buy electro in Rough Trade and then go to either Selectadisc or Roughtrade to buy some jungle. Unfortunately I ran out of both money and time and ended up just buying a stack of electro and then the new Four Tet album, which is lovely. I was feeling really good about it and I've told everyone how happy I am, but then when I tell them what I've bought they just laugh or make disparaging remarks. Sometimes I love the fact that the music I like is different to what everybody else likes, other times it pisses me off when I've got no-one to share my triumphs with.

BassDrive is kicking it tonight, currently playing some squelchy old school acid dnb shit. Triffic. I love internet radio.

BTW, my proposal is now up to 11 pages and nearly complete. Phew!
