SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS PRESENTS... LUCAS WITH THE LID OFF - Lucas

Seriously one of the greatest music videos ever created. Released just about 5 minutes before the whole planet realised what kind of a genius Michel Gondry is... It's like a prelude 2 Gondry's incredible full feature BE KIND REWIND. I have 2 also admit the song didn't lose any of its charm all through the years. Enjoy!

SHREM'S FUTURE ANTHEMS: TURN IT UP by Grum Feat. Electric Youth

This is fantastic guys! I-tunes offers it as a free single of the week in Ireland. It's all things 80's, really hard 2 believe it is actually not an obscure single from circa 1986... All of you fans of Five Star, early Madonna, D'Train or any rare grooves should dig this too. I am completely hooked! Watch out Chromeo, GRUM is the deal for "future 80's" sounds...

"When you move on the floor you could be my disco angel"
