Girls. Film. Pop.



Time once more for some new musical discoveries...

And first, the exciting news - it's here!!! At last - after 30 years, Duran Duran have released the sequel to Girls on Film!

Seriously, folks, here's the video we've all been waiting for. Hot off the press today, it's Girl Panic (featuring a coterie of supermodels and the occasional fleeting glimpse of the boys themselves):


How do you follow that extravaganza? How about something rude and shouty? It's the outest-of-out gays Cazwell in more of a battle than a duet with the kinky Peaches, and the fab Unzip Me:


Taking more than a little inspiration from the heady pumpin' sounds of early 90s house music - and with a suitably funny retro video (taking the piss out of breakfast TV of those days) to boot - here's The 2 Bears with Bear Hug:


We at Dolores Delargo Towers always welcome the return of a reformed slut to the musical world. And of course, former porn star turned John Waters muse Miss Traci Lords fits the bill perfectly - thanks again to Mike over at Pop Trash Addicts for the heads-up, here's a preview of her new single Last Drag.

And to conclude this musical melange, here's a house favourite band the (rather cute) Sound of Arrows, with their latest, Wonders. Wonderful!


As ever, enjoy!

  1. DD are just fabulous of course! I love Sound Of Arrows and as I blogged about a few weeks back I am VERY excited about the comeback from Miss Traci Lords. I still play her 1000 Fires album on regular basis...

  2. The more I play "Girl Panic", the more I love it - classic Duranny sound! I must have missed your paean to Ms Lords, sorry. She is fab; I have loved her ever since she appeared with Johnny Depp in "Cry Baby"... Jx

  3. I have been saving this post for me day off so that I can go through the list properly.

    Duran Duran back after 30 years, " we never went away " . Fab video great to see london looking cool again.

    Not too sure about Unzip Me: but very catchy.

    Enjoyed' bear hug' especially the blonde dancer boy, such a good mover

    Loved the Tracy Lords, she was soooo fab in 'Cry Baby' and look forward to the video release

    Finally the rather cute Sound of Arrows ( sad to be all alone in the world ), just fab.

    Thanks for keeping me in touch with what's going on in the modern world, now its back to Elsie Carlisle and Jack Buchanan for the rest of the afternoon for me.

  4. Have your heard her fantastic 1000 Fires album??? Still probably the best dance album of the 90s...

  5. Mme A: you are more than welcome, my dear - our time off coincides so rarely that there's rarely the opportunity to share new music together. Glad you enjoy my compilations...

    Henry: I am seeking a copy of Traci Lords' "1000 Fires" as we speak!

  6. It is well worth it! Back when I was a DJ, I used to play several tracks from it(especially "Control", "Fallen Angel" and "Outlaw Lover").

    There are also a couple of slower tracks that are just brilliant - and then there is the last track, which is hilarious. The album was produced by Juno Reactor, who went on to do the sountracks for the Matrix films. Do let me know if you get a copy :)
