Received this sexy little mix from London art rocker sweeties George and Fenner from Lesser Panda, who we featured - gosh, was it only back in Janurary? - to celebrate their new release, single “Carousel/Ghostdance” which debuts on 13th October 2008 !

If you get gooey and nostalgic over the great tunes from the 80s like the Cure, Talking Heads, Smiths and Psychadelic Furs, you’ll LOVE Lesser Panda - and you can catch a sneak of “Carousel” on this mix, which has also been featured on fellow music blog Fried my little brain - nice one.

Enjoy!

ps - is vanilla a euphemism for something or am i just being thick? yes, probably.
