Our guest DJs are this Saturday are Bonnie And Clyde, the fantastic Spanish DJ team from Barcelona, who've DJed at HDIF twice before and once at Indietracks, and definitely know a thing or two about getting a dancefloor hopping. Looking back over their first ever guest set at HDIF - back in 2007 - they played everything from Talulah Gosh, Tindersticks, Suburban Kids and Lloyd Cole to France Gall, Dusty, The Shangri-Las and Los Brincos, and I'm sure we can expect an equally danceable set on Saturday night. So come out! Laugh in the face of 2013's woes - beloved bands splitting, legendary club nights calling it a day, record shops closing, the temperature plummeting - and dance your way into a happier new year. That's my plan anyway and I'm sticking to it...!

Indie song of the week: "Broken Toy" by Veronica Falls. The Vronk have outdone themselves with their second album, by all accounts, and I'll reckon we'll be dancing to a lot of their songs at HDIF this year. This, off that new record, is a real gem.
Soul song of the week: "Mean Woman Blues" by Roy Orbison. Yes! Roy Orbison! At last! I was watching the BBC documentary about the Big O over Christmas and there was a three second clip of him playing this song on a TV show somewhere - at which point, I leapt onto YouTube and tracked it down. What a song! What a performance! Super danceable and full of joy. I played this at Great Big Kiss last Friday and it was glorious, so I just have to play it again at HDIF.
