At surface level a hotel is all bright and shiny, with friendly staff paid to be at your beck-and-call throughout your stay. If you're extra nice, sometimes they'll even give you an upgrade. However; underneath all the glamour and gleam, even in the most prestigious hotel, there is a dark side. A side that only hotel staff know about. Join me (Krittah) as I take you into the secret world of hotels. So sit back, relax, and importantly enjoy your stay.

Warren Coleman was Bowling Man, an alien from another planet that had abolished war and famine because they had discovered ten pin bowling. They got those cool shirts and shorts too. He came from the sky, with a plan.

Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin (Ural Dj's Remix)

Maynard F# Crabbes sings the Broadway medley of the 80s or any other decade. Be warned, this singing may cause gout in the listener. Not sure I got the lyrics quiet right. But the backing keyboard from Doris Crawley is "relentlessly cheerful".

From The Castanet Club album 1986. Track 5, Side 1.

Produced by Chris Harriott. Engineered by Simon Leadley & Tim Ryan. Recorded & Mixed @ Trackdown Studios, Sydney. Cover designers Therese Kenyon & Jodi Shields.

Opening song on side 2 of the 1986 Castanet Club album. Conceived during the Giddy People side project period and first turning up in the Hunter Valley Theatre Company show Mission Molly Morgan (if I am wrong about any of this please, let me know).

Vista captures a spirit of the group and the time as very fun and original track. I love the nod to James Brown and the "funny dances" that are called out, Zonta was my favourite, named after an imaginary European art film director who enjoys storming off the set. Now THAT is a dance.
