There's no place like home...

Can't wait! Smack Leamington

HOT

I remember dancing to this in my front room when I was a duckling. I still love all of the bright colours and the way the puppet ho's gyrate.



A wonderful cover.

BREAKFAST

Howdy there. I'm The Mallard.



This video makes my beak tingle. But everything drawn by Parra has that effect on me so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. This song has it all for me: its crude, upbeat and offensive and I think you should check it out.

I especially like the part about the jam on his bread because I do love laying on my back in my pond whilst hyperactive youngsters throw mouldy crusts my way.

Joel Roberts

Look at him go. 

This guy is Joel Roberts whose mixes are definitely worth checking out. We've played these mixes during bbq's, intense games of Articulate as well as before and after going out and on each occasion they have got everyone excited. My favourite is definitely the May mix which I cannot stop listening to.

You can download them from his SoundCloud page and enjoy them anywhere you like.

CAPZZZZZ

Now that the sun is out properly you need to sort yourself out with a cap/lid/flag. Luckily there are loads out there which help guard your precious skin from sunburn but that are also so fresh that you'll be the envy of your fellow bbq-ers.

Here's some of my favourites:

Mishka always have awesome designs and a new colour combination for this much-loved Death Adders design works really nicely.
