One of the things about having to work for a living is that a) I don’t get to hear everything that arrives in my inbox and b) I don’t get to write about it. ( I do however get lots of unsolicited email, and the rather irritating follow-up emails from people aggrieved that I haven’t listened to what they have sent.) But the arrival of the rather good remix by the Go! Team of Frankie Rose’s ‘Apples For The Sun’ reminded me that I have been rather remiss in not writing about Frankie Rose.

Ms. Rose has an impressive CV so far, what with her being (a founding member, songwriter, instrumentalist and vocalist) in the Vivian Girls and drummer and occasional vocalist in Crystal Stilts, and now a fine solo career to boot, which is the indie equivalent of having your cake, eating it and making trifle out of it as well.

Her latest awesome solo album Interstellar was released earlier this year and is well worth hearing.

This is ‘Know Me’ which is taken from the aforementioned Interstellar:

This is the aforementioned remix of ‘Apples For The Sun,’ the original version of which can be found on the album. It’s a pretty good piece of work in its own right -and it certainly hit the spot on a pleasant Saturday evening (great to fionally see some blue sky here in Scotland!)

Hope you enjoy these. BTW, if you enjoy these, please leave me some feedback -I don’t bite. Much…
