Morgan Page

Morgan Page has swiftly become one of the most sought after remixers on the US club scene, with his reworkings of songs by the likes of Nelly Furtado, Angie Stone, Stevie Nicks and Ultra Nate consistently hitting the top of the Billboard Club Chart.

Comprising original songs and remixes of other artists, Page's debut album Elevate seamlessly weaves the highlights of an already prolific production career with his own melody driven tracks. Opening with the Laurel Canyon meets Hollywood folk/dance vibe of the single The Longest Road, the album showcases Page's exceptional talent for subtle electronics and thoughtful songs.

Cute, too.

What does Quantum of Solace actually mean? - oh, yes, more Daniel Craig...


I know it's not released until late-October/early-November but is anyone else looking forward to the forthcoming James Bond film...?

(The incredibly clunkily-named) Quantum of Solace is the 22nd Bond film and the follow-up to the magnificent - certainly one of the best Bond films ever - Casino Royale. It will also be the second outing for Daniel Craig as Bond - certainly the best Bond since the early Connery appearances.

He may have been a complete grump and spoilsport over the swimsuit scenes - or more specifically, images - from Casino Royale, but even fully-clothed, Daniel Craig as James Bond is incredibly sexy, with a winning blend of charm, chiselled handsomeness, brooding toughness and sophistication - the perfect Bond.

Life flows better...



This is a beautiful advert - or am I being swayed by the fantastic arse? Anyway, this ad for Visa is by Saatchi & Saatchi, and the music is a 2005 track, Non Stop, by British band, Whitey.
