Pak's Wig Shop Playlist Update

What are the customers of Pak's Wig Shop listening to now that they have played their Meat Loaf CDs to death? Let's see shall we?

Please note: It was not actually Ellie Goulding counting some money beside her car. We have simply Photoshopped (uncanny, we know) her head on to protect the identity of the innocent man in question.

So, quite a change from last time. First we have a double spread for JD Sports. We'll ignore this as a)it is not music related and b)we have never exercised in our life.

Young Money - 'We Are Young Money'
: We won't lie in order to sound cool, we do not have a clue who Young Money are. Let's investigate:
"Founded by Grammy Award-winning, critically-acclaimed, multi-platinum rap superstar Lil Wayne, Young Money Entertainment will introduce the world to hip-hop’s hottest new collective with the release of We Are Young Money, one of the most anticipated albums of the year."
So there we go. One of the most anticipated albums of the year. Released in Februray. Being promoted in March. Make of that what you will.

No-One Knows About Persian Cats: First we thought this was another band we'd never heard of. Then we found out it's a film. Kasi Az Gorbehaye Irani Khabar Nadareh, to give it its proper name, is about Iranian musicians. Perhaps one for a contemplative Sunday rather than a partying Friday?

Laura Marling 'I Speak because I Can': Ignore the first 25 seconds of this video which will suck each and every particle of excitement/personality out of your life, and just listen to the song, which is beautiful.


Sometimes you don't need nine minutes of product placement and Beyonce to distract from lyrical prowess. Conversely you wouldn't want to throw yourself around the dancefloor like a loon to Laura Marling, but that is the beauty of the diversity of music, right? Right Pak's Wig Shop?!

And who gets the special plastic encased slot this week?


A wonky Lovebox poster. If we could amalgamate all three days of Lovebox into one our line-up would be: Chew Lips, Crookers, Wild Beasts, Empire Of The Sun, Peaches, Grace Jones and Chromeo.

Bye Pak's Wig Shop. See you next time.
