We were driving up to Darlington on Friday to play a show when 'Under Pressure' by David Bowie and Queen came on the radio. It got us thinking; what are the best collaborations of all time? Most are absolutely terrible it seems (although surely there is a special place in all our hearts for Jacko and Macca's 'The Girl Is Mine').
We've decided on five that we really like, and put them on a Spotify playlist for you to check out. What do you think of our choices? Have we missed out anything blindingly obvious? Let us know your favourites!
HWD's Fave Collabos
Afrika Shox - Leftfield and Afrika Bambaataa
Under Pressure - Queen and David Bowie
Getting Away With It - Electronic and Neil Tennant
Got Your Money - Ol' Dirty Bastard and Kelis
Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue
Putting this together reminded me how good Chris Cunningham's video for Afrika Shox is too. Have a look:

In With The News!
Happy new year from HWD! We hope you had a great holiday and that going back to work this week hasn't been too much of a struggle.
Since the release of the Love Technology album in June last year we've been busy in the studio and rehearsal room coming up with loads of new tracks and fresh sounds; we wanted to keep progressing and not just kick back and make our second album Love Technology II. We decided to release the 'Take My Picture' single as an indication of where we're going and have been really excited by the reaction - thanks! If you missed it, you can watch the video here and buy the single here.
This post is therefore the first of a new, regular blog we're going to do as the second album develops. We're going to post our favourite new records and other things that are inspiring us, as well as feature contributions from our friends and collaborators. We're also going to start posting videos of us in the studio/rehearsal room and taster clips of the second album very soon. Please feel free to send us comments and/or your own favourite new tracks for us to check out!
To get us started, here's HWD's Top 10 songs of the last decade - click on the link for a ready-made Spotify playlist! In no particular order:
'Emerge' - Fischerspooner
'Aerodynamic' - Daft Punk
'Toxic' - Britney Spears
'Drop It Like It's Hot' - Snoop Dogg
'Hard To Explain' - The Strokes
'Hey Ya!' - Outkast
'This Boy's In Love' - The Presets
'One Armed Scissor' - At The Drive-In
'Waters Of Nazareth' - Justice
'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' - Kylie Minogue
