Soundtrack For A Day - April 13th 2008 - Amy Winehouse, Coldplay, Kooks & More
April 14, 2008 by Dave Parrack
Some of the bloggers here on the b5 music channel decided to record our Soundtrack For A Day yesterday. This could take different forms, be it all the songs you listened to on that day, a selection from certain moments, or a particular album.
I decided to stick my media player on random and note down the first 50 songs it played, and here is the result.
As a full time blogger who works from home, music is very important to me as it can change the mood of my day. Pressing the random button is therefore a bit of a gamble but this time it didn’t let me down.
Notice the amount of British songs in the collection! That’s not engineered in any way, just proof that that is where my big love in music lies. There are also some brilliant American and Irish bands in there too, and of course, Abba…

Fatboy Slim Bringing Back Brighton Party
February 9, 2008 by Dave Parrack
Fatboy Slim has announced the return of his Brighton Beach Boutique party. The live dance music event was massively popular when first held in 2001, and again in 2002 but hasn’t happened since over fears for safety.
The event takes place on Brighton beach, and has a party atmosphere, as people pack on to the seafront and listen to loud music played by local resident, and master DJ, Fatboy Slim.
The last time the event took place in 2002, Fatboy Slim and the other organisers expected 60,000 people to attend, only for 250,000 people to cram on to the beach and cause chaos around the seaside resort.
