We love it when our merch turns up in unlikely places, and props to international woman of mystery, Miho Haraguchi, who not only represents us in Tokyo but on holiday in Egypt. Kisses for you.
ps, if you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet (urgh) then swing by the shop for more Lost In Paris goodies. *SHAMELESS PLUG SECTION OVER*
This made my toes tap away in my soggy boots like mad - the new single by Vampire Weekend.
How joyous is that video? Remember when we sticker-on-you-face'd one of the Vamps?
Speaking of cousins and cracking videos, Kat Lost In Paris' very own cousin directed the video to the new Good Shoes single - Under Control. It's in my Top 10 songs of the year too, what are the chances?
That reminds me; end of year and end of DECADE lists on the way soon..
There's no doubt about how much Lost In Paris LOVE Primary 1. He's a seriously talented chap and so how lovely it is to be stocking his latest release on Grow Up Records (his own label). 'Mess Detective' is a collection of songs from the very beginnings of Primary 1, not the club bangers made with Riton, but instead the first of many great pop albums.

One of my favorite songs of all time and luckily one of Stephen Wade's (of onetwofive go!) who wanted one of these prints for himself, so he made one! He also made a few for the Lost In Paris store, which is nice.
This is a professional print 12x18 inches (for easy framing) printed on 13x19 stock paper with a 1/2" white border (like in the photos. Heavy weight, bright white paper matte presentation paper with double decker bus red ink.

Ben put these guys on his Lost In Paris spotify playlist in September and I've been listening to them ever since. Really cute cover of the Clash/Junior Murvin track by Toulon's (France!) Get Back Guinozzi, their debut record 'Carpet Madness" is out on Fat Cat records and you can get it here.

...not to blog about Gonzales again this year, especially as he's now started his weekly residency for November in London at the Pigalle.
The first one was on Wednesday and was watched by Erol Alkan, thecocknbullkid, that one with the sparkly eyes from Klaxons, Ben Lingo and, erm, me.
His special guest was Jarvo Cocker and they debuted a cracking song about the highs and loves of Parisian life, called Francophobia. It's worth me breaking my word for...
Last week Phantasy released their sixth single 'Bangkok' by Boris Dlugosch. Erol Alkan's been banging it out in his DJ sets this year and it has proved so popular he has put it out through his own label!
It's been released as an exclusive through Beatport and will be followed by a very limited vinyl edition.

Is that like the best line-up EVER?!
In 2007 Plan B's debut album, Who Needs Action When You've Got Words was played to death by me, with lyrics like "I'll stab you in the eye yo, with a f*ckin biro, the same f*uckin biro you use to sign your giro, you f*ckin wino..."
I was really surprised when I heard this track from Ben Drew as it sounds like he's discovered a pile of old soul records and has got obsessed. It's a good thing.
This track, and the subsequent new album has been overseen by uber-producer Paul Epworth too which promises a really interesting listen. So here's Stay Too Long...
