VALLEY MUSIC.

You know them.
You want them.
You need them.

If you didn't already know, TNUC has strong ties to the Valley. The San Fernando Valley that is. Back in 1984, TNUC worked a grueling 3-hours a week at The Galleria, earning a little extra cash for quaaludes, junk, beer and pizza. In those days we didn't have Malls...we had Gallerias. So get it right or pay the price.

The highest, most prestigious reward from working at The Galleria was the Valley girls. This place was a fully functional babe lair. Most of them were either skipping school to shop or hitting the stores after a long day of volleyball at the beach. Whether in the food court or the arcade, the girls were here with one objective...spending Daddy's gold card. But upon hearing about TNUC's black Trans-AM, the babes were helpless against it's powers.

When I heard Born 2 Luv from Paul, instantly I was brought back to memories of cruising around parking structures in the Trans-AM, babes intact. So press play, close your eyes and reflect for a moment on the sacred temple of consumer culture and babe universe, The Galleria. This is Valley Music.

Have mercy.

LOVELOCK.

After a brief silence, LoveLock is back to continue it's reign as the cream of the crop. This week he released the 3-track vinyl, 'Pino Grigio', which features edits of Pino Donnagio, Mike Oldfield and Simple Minds. This very limited and vinyl-only release is out now on Belgian edit label Mindless Boogie and can be ordered from Flexx.be here. Stream one of the tracks below.

Lovelock - Pino Grigio (Re-edit) by steve moore

The finest display of highbrow sophistication here is the title track, 'Pino Grigio'. I completely adore what LoveLock has done with this. He chooses an already superb song from the great Pino Donnagio and transforms it into a cigarrette-boat-cruising jam packed with plenty of white linens and $700 leisure suits. So fire up the engines, grab your dream girl and prepare for a trip across vast oceans and into uncharted horizons.

WINNERS TAKE ALL.

Two winners have been selected from the video contest and now have the proud privilege of TNUC MYSTERY BOXES arriving at their doorsteps. Not only that, but the two winners also get to write up something of their own to post exclusively at Uncle T's. More info to come soon.

For now, here's two sweat-inducing, victorious numbers to take you to the edge...and past it.

Mp3-> Touch - The Sweetest Victory

Mp3-> Giorgio Moroder - The Fight (instrumental)

1988 GIRLS + CONTEST.

Been a little slow around these parts lately due to a week-long, holiday Quaalude bender. All that matters is that Uncle T is back and ready to show no mercy. The TNUC book of excellence and elegance didn't thrust into the new year to bore you with another 09' Best-Of List like the rest of them because, frankly, we can't remember what happened in the past decade, never mind 2009.

So here it is. After a lengthy wait, the new TNUC video for Futurecop!'s '1988 Girls' is among us. If you caught the original video which features the vocal stylings of Keith Masters, then good job, but this is the TNUC final cut. This instrumental version of the track pairs up with a slightly altered video that brings a little skin for the dudes and some legendary skin for the dudettes. So turn it up, maximize the screen and make sure Mom's gone to bed...Get set to get wet.
