Gin - These Roses - Outlaws Straight Out Of Bristol Mix

This is the email what I sent out about this one:

Here's a remix I've had the pleasure of doing for Gin Wigmore (www.myspace.com/ginwigmore). I'd like to think they wanted an Outlaws mix to give it some kind of Bristolian mystery, creativity and underground cred, but they may well just have done it because I'm cheap.


She's probably going to be mega famous soon, that Perez Hilton guy likes her: http://tinyurl.com/46t2sw and she's been taken on by some US mega managers too, which is probably how he Perez bloke knows about them, but maybe that's just cynicism.

Please accept my apologies in advance, it's not a rave banger. I'm not even sure if it has a bassline. It certainly doesn't have a kick drum that wants to bash your mind in.

It's quite a nice song really.

I've never met this Gin Wigmore person, but she seems pretty nice.
I reckon she'd be quite fun to hang out with. Maybe we would watch a movie, go badger baiting and take a trip to the zoo together? I think my parents would probably like her anyway.
By the sounds of her voice it seems like she's quite fun, doesn't it? Kind of like that girl you fancied at school. A few years older than you, she'd got her shit together, she probably smoked, looked pretty tough, she had some kind of "attitiude", used to do cool things, you thought she was awesome (and really hot), and one day you hoped to be cool enough to get a girlfriend like her. Or if you're a girl, maybe you wanted to grow up to be free like her and have all the arty, alt boys yearn after you...
(Girls, please note, most arty boys are total idiots and never have any money)

Sadly though, not everyone can be amazingly, awesomely cool (and all the people who you thought were cool at school are probably accountants now, or dead), so we have to settle with our lives: plodding on day to day, the lonely hours on the internet looking for love, the hope that it'll suddenly all change and we'll be reborn magically as the beautiful, untouchable teen gods and goddesses at the end of a heart warming movie, our lives never blighted by drink, drugs, excess, madness, lust, depravity, shame, excess, insanity and that kind of good stuff.

So good on you Gin, thanks for keeping us on the right path, with songs about feelings and stuff. I'm going to go and have a good cry now. I hope you enjoy the song and don't think I've buggered it up with the remix. Until next time, be excellent to one another and party on dudes.
