Stop!

Hold the press!

Wasted Superstars from all corners of the globe have asked me to write this post. They wanted their voices to be heard and this is what their voices were saying;

"We'll miss Peter while he's gone, but we know he's going to have a great time exploring the world, climbing mountains, encountering real life Australians in their natural habitat and many more exciting adventures. Three cheers for P.A.M.!"

So now the Wasted Superstars have spoken, restart the press!

its all happening.

It will be going according to plan this jan.

I don't think it gets any indier than this.. I really don't. 

the battle for indie radio

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/sep/24/commercialradio.ipc

Hmmm... 

thats all I have to say, for now, publicly.

It's quite interesting.

It's been starting to show.

Dan le sac and scroobuis pip....glasvegas.....mystery jets.... that is the music i listen to these days...
i'm starting to dig grime a bit more.
Xfm is on my favourited on my internet bookmarks.
I bought this months Q on the coffee table with noel gallagher on it.
THERE IS FUCKING RIBENA IN MY FRIDGE.

Not to mention that I've been eating Mc Vities biscuits...
and that i had mini weetabix choco chip cereal earlier this morning.

So i went out earlier to the east village with some friends of mine..
and i had a 20 pound note in my bag and some pence.

So my friend goes, "jean, have you been trotting to england these days"
im like uh why do you ask?

And she layed it all out, just like that.
the music i listen to.
the ribena in the fridge
and the pence from my bag as i was fumbling around for $0.50 USD (fifty cents).

i guess it's all starting to look a bit more suspicious, the secret trips to england, and then seeing the vinyl in my house with the price tags from "rough trade"

Oh well.

One day, I'm going to make it happen.
I'm going to move to london and tell no one.
I'd hide that much better though.

Maybe I am not so good at hiding the fact I went to the UK.
I'm good at it and not. If you go to my house and rummage through my stuff maybe...

I don't know...
but i think I am ready to leave new york.
cause when you grow up in manhattan..
& you're sick of LA
where is there to go?

across the pond.

i love drunk calls

LOL i dialed the meehan today and he said, " i love you jean"
I thought that was pretty sweet, so i go, i love you too peter.

even he was piss drunk, it was nice when your friends tell you that
so if you have a friend, tell them you love them even when your sober.

a public service announcement from jean

lost in the post/ hope not

I just spent 75 dollars on postage!
it was okay though, I didn't think all that would add up though.
I did mail 6 packages to the UK so I would presume it would be a bit expensive.

Oh well, i love giving stuff to my friends. Makes them and me happy

Thank you, Bret Easton ellis

.. for writing Less Than Zero.

It's been the source of answers for something I've thought of doing in the past two months but I have decided not to act on impulse.

I already did it earlier last month (if you know what I mean).

I read Less than zero again and after a recent nightmare - its just not worth it.

My mental health takes precedence.

I'm probably being a bit too dramatic (as usual) but I never really experienced the crazy crazy situations in that book..

but I can relate to Clay's feeling in that book.

You're there, but you're not all there. 

Boredom and Loneliness are normal even when you're at a show full of your so called friends and people. It's where getting on the guest list is meaningless and you stare at your VIP pass in disgust hoping not to run into the ghosts. 

the ghosts, the ghosts the ghosts.. ahem the laura marling song .....

The feeling overtakes you to the point where you're numb at the show.

I would just end up going to palm springs..

or someplace near it...

It's like the quiet place far away from LA but close enough in the case where you don't feel LA. 

thank god for new york.

I laughed so hard I fell down

I have spent today listening to all the songs this guy told me too. I have completely fallen for Department of Eagles. I can't even say exactly what it is about them. Nobody does it like you is an amazing track though. I beg you to download it of that blog.

Also I'm going to look into signing up to the website he uses to load up songs so I can plague you all. Look forward to it. You know you want it.

My buddy Jonny Yeah is the guy in the picture from this article which is pretty funny. The whole site is funny in fact. I particularly liked this one about facebook.

Anyone going to the gig at Goldsmiths tonight? Apparently it's free and there's some sort of Roots Manuva DJ set. Sounds good to me so I'm not going to look too much into it. Now I just need to get the enthusiasm to get showered and dressed and I'm on my way.

kids love lies and stuff

I've been listening to them a bit lately, They are really good.

I LOVE HEX 

HEX RULES and so does chimera.

I really enjoyed their show at New cross Inn and even ate a cupcake even though I was totally full from that cheeseburger at the place around the corner. I remember buying sam a burger as well. 

But today I had a discussion with my friend from california. She lives in indio, ca. Nothing happens there except for Coachella once a year. It's basically a hole two hours east of LA and past the 909.

She was talking about last.fm and how she was listening to kids love lies.

I was like how do you know about them?

Wait did I tell you how I saw them at their single release party at new cross?

her: No jeany, they appeared on my scrobble. you went to london? (I guess she found out, um me and my big fat mouth). She asks, So how do you know about kids love lies (since I'm not that indie enough to be in the know of such UK bands, lol)? 

I found out about them though the old fashioned way (through friends) and then i got a lecture on how i have to join last.fm.

Then I thought, wow you can find anything through the internet. 

so now we both love kids love lies, which is pretty neat. 

I told her about sweet tooth and the great ep expanded..

and how awesome the dream cover video is..

and how thats the only way I ever saw Sam's room! and I've been to his house!

she wondered why he had a red hankerchief over his face in the video, I told her sam does strange things like that.

Then I emailed her a picture of what the red hankerchief dude looked like, hahahaha.

 

My friend has even heard of the New Cross Inn, which I thought was a bit odd - since the only way I've heard of it was through sam.

I think the great musicians of Catford and lewisham are going to take over the world..from one last.fm listener to another....

from catford to beyond.

se6 style.

peter should be the catford music ambassador when he goes on his world tour. 

How To Be Nang

I don't like the word nang, ever since I saw it on a Lily Allen blog on her myspace, but still, it's a way of life
'Nang' basically means cool,
but when it's used by Lily Allen, it means 'I'm a little rich girl that's never been to the hood in my life, but wanna get down with the kids.'

The Times talked to a bunch of kids about how to be nang.
In the event that you aren't nang,
or are considering whether you are nang or not, which probably means you aren't.

Here are the rules of how to be nang:
1. Not Pete Doherty, who is a wasteman and can’t sing, but 50 Cent, who is the king of bling.
2. Not Australian soap operas, but EastEnders.
3. Not Harry Potter, because books aren’t cool, but you can read anything by Malorie Blackman in private and you might be told off (which is good) for reading Benjamin Zephaniah’s Gangsta Rap in school.
4. Not those rocker skater boy big black bags with diagonal straps but bags that say “Just Do It”, and, among certain sets, bags with Winnie the Pooh logos.
5. No Crazy Frog ring tone, but Grind With Me by Pretty Ricky.
6. Not clapping, when clapping is called for, but making gunny fingers and going “Braap, braap” which is the new “Pow Pow”.
7. Not Kate Moss, but Paris Hilton and her tiny dog.
8. Not rich, but not too poor to buy Academic sportswear, 50 Cent type bling, and Mayfair cigarettes.
9. Not McDonald’s, but Nando’s.
10. Not actually hating your mother, but pretending she beats you up.

I'm off to polish my gunny fingers, cos I've got to go to Nando's, to get out of my house while my mum wants to beat me.
'BRAP BRAP'

sidewalk cafes..noah and the whale

Theres nothing like Sidewalk cafes in the 10009.
For my UK audience, The sidewalk cafe is located on 94 avenue a, in the east village.
In America, post codes are called zip codes and they as designated by numbers.
Zip Codes are always five numbers.
Manhattan Zip codes start with a 100, 101, or in the case of battery park city, 102.
Los Angeles (including West Hollywood) Zip codes start with a 900. Beverly Hills Zip codes are just fucking famous. santa monica is like 90401-05. Fuck, how I know this off the top of my head is just terrible proof that I have spent too much time in LA.. i digress.....

OMG
Can I just say How much I love noah and the whale?
It was just so amazing.
I think UK folk is my new thing.
I got to the sidewalk cafe at around 7PM.
Noah and the Whale went on at around 8 ish.
I decided to get some dinner before Noah and the Whale's set at the sidewalk cafe where I ate the special, malsala chicken and a chocolate mousse cake.
In the middle of my meal, a bunch of english people sat next to me.

Of course it was Noah and the Whale.
I talked to them a bit, asked which one of them is Charlie Fink.
I met him for a bit and talked to them about how I like their music and Laura Marling.
I also told him how I also heard his version of Ghosts for the BBC electric Proms. He said he forgot about that, but told me that laura was doing one of his songs and how laura sang one of his songs.
Thats cool.
So I ate and grabbed a spot for Noah and the Whale.

Noah and the Whale are so amazingly talented.
I just love that UK folk sound.
They had this instrument that looked like a box, but it kinda opened not sure what it was, but it was interesting.

http://soundbites.typepad.com/soundbites/2008/09/noah-and-the-whale-union-pool-9162008.html

thats what the box looked like, watch that video.

Their live rendition of 5 years time was missing laura marling poo.
Oh well.
But i loved how they played Second Lover and 2 atoms in a molecule back to back - in a theme!

They closed with Mary and a Smiths Song!
Then I stole a couple posters from the walls and added them to my door.
Oh Noah and the Whale, I love you so.
Viva la english folk.
It's made my week.

FILMS

i have started to put films to watch on my profile,
i currently have the following
- forgetting sarah marshall (best film of 2008)
- the bank job
- the promotion
if they do not work, there is a link to watch them, the quality of picture is great

rancid recall.

It's recall because...
do i really want to spend 300 on airfare when I can use that towards an airline ticket from JFK to LHR this winter.
I believe that everything this winter will go according to plan and it would be better than any opportunities i can get in the states.

I'd rather put the cash towards that...
and yes the possibility of social paranoia @ rancid is catching up to me.
I just can't face it. I can't.

Oh listening to the wombats - here comes the anxiety is not helping.

Fi fie. foe. fum. english folk is really fun.

The Past two days have consisted of school and..... LAURA MARLING!

Can I tell you how amazing I think her music is?

this time she came with a band, and MERCHANDISE!

Yes, Finally she came with merchandise.

She is on tour with Johnny Flynn and Mumford and sons.

Both openers are amazing.

Johnny Flynn is well fit and really talented. He can play the cello, and the guitar, and all sorts of things at once!

The show at bowery ballroom was grand, and as usual i was given the VIP treatment.

That song ghosts.

Rambling man.

and cross your fingers......

wow. Night terror live was great.

I bought a fun Fie Fie Fum tour 7 inch.

I like Johnny flynn.

OKAY WHY DIDNT SHE GET THE MERCURY PRIZE? WHY ELBOW?

So the next day, I went to Brooklyn to see her recording session at a recording studio.

She recorded three tracks, ghosts, rambling man, and some other one... don't know the name.

It was just her with an acoustic guitar and she sounds just so amazing.

If anyone dosen't know laura marling get in touch with me and I'll make you like her.

So soon

Sorry I saw these and they got me all excited. I love new takes on songs. Even if they aren't better then the original I really like hearing a song I always thought of one way get twisted into something else still using the original track. If that makes any sense.

Another day another blogger

Morning all. I'm Ciara, friend of Peter and Sam. I have been given permission to write on here.
I will apoligise in advance if I just dissapear for weeks or even months at a time...such is my want. As you can see from my own blog Too Orangy For Crows. I am bad at updating.

I am not sure what exactly to write on here as I'm sure this was started as some kind of urban music blog but I don't know what happened to that.

Upon discussing with Peter, it was decided I should put a link up to post secret. This is a site were people send in their secrets on postcards anonymously to the address on the site. It's updated every Sunday and has become a huge success. The thing that disturbs me most was brought up by my buddy Dave. A large % of them are about self hate or family problems but there is this tiny % that consists of people confessing to serious crimes. Like murder. I just imagine them ridding there conscience of killing someone but still not being punished in anyway as a bit full on. And yes, in a slightly worrying way, amusing. case and point

So I might just leave that one with you...quite an odd first post I know. I figured I should get my oddness out in the open from the get go rather then spring it upon you somewhere down the line.

Happy Fucking

i found ribena

Two weeks ago, I hung out with vicky and Sean and tasted Ribena.
I liked it.
It was sweet.
I loved it's black berry taste.

So I went to the east village today.
I had to go to this place I know that had dark chocolate mc vities biscuits that would go perfect with my PG tips tea.
and then I found it. RIBENA!
AND RIBENA SPARK!

Of course being the nerd I am, I bought RIBENA spark and RIBENA.
I already drank that can of Ribena spark.

It's quite nice, might I say.

If you ever need to find Ribena in new York City,
go to Houston Village farm .
It's in the East Village, NYC on 4th st and 1st avenue.

viva la ribena in the states.
I have to stop spending so much time on the net.
Cause getting excited about ribena in the usa is just scary.

Oh well thats just me, getting excited over the dumbest shit. as usual.

mystery jets

I'm watching that video two doors down.
I have to say that '21' is such a solid album.
I love the mystery jets to pieces and that their sound is amazing.
They bring back the 80's but make it their own. It's original in a mystery jets sense.
I love how they added Laura marling on young love.

I wish the mystery jets would tour the states.
They should play a show or two in new york just for me!

I'm glad that when I came across the pond, they did a show at rough trade east.
I was quite disapointed when they cancelled some dj set they were supposed to do somewhere in south london, the meehan told me about it.. and i was looking forward to go with some mates, oh well.

I'm glad I got to see them perform for like 45 minutes for FREE! nonethe less.

I told this british this dude I liked the mystery jets, wombats, and the holloways.
Apparently this guy I talked to liked rock and motorhead.
He told me I belonged near Chalk farm road in london with all that indie,
and I couldn't help but smile.

But for right now, like noah and the whale + laura marling,
the mystery jets needs to come here.
do a show just for me.

laura marling and noah and the whale

This Week will be ONE whale of a week with Laura Marling and OMG..

NOAH AND THE WHALE

all in new york.

I am going to be in indie folk pop heaven.

I love it when great UK exports like that come to new york.

See in new york they're playing smaller places than what they would play in the UK.

the shows are also cheaper cause the dollar is nothing against the pound.

the best part?

i got my cronies..

the access to stuff....

yup.

I'm probably going to see a private laura marling studio taping this week.

And the drums, the drums, the drums

I was just thinking about Benga's 'Night'. What is it that makes it such a good tune. Then I thought "I think you could play Night to some one that dislikes Grime and on the whole they'd say they liked Night" Yet... Dubstep shares a lot of characteristics with Grime.

There's the sub bass which is probably more crucial to D.S. as with Grime the focus can shift to the word if either the music isn't up to par or isn't being played on powerful enough speakers (for example phone speakers). The drums in both are important and often use irregular patterns and rhythms, sometimes veering towards like glitch music.

I have noted that in Night instead of the Sub bass being an aggressor as in a lot of Grime it is actually quite soothing. I haven't heard much dubstep but my detective powers lead me to believe this might be a common difference. I also think that while both genre's employ unusual drum patterns, the same rule applied in terms of feel. The drums in Night are very laid back and smooth while grime drums are often the opposite. It should be noted that while Night at first sounds like an alien song it is infact (im 99% sure) in standard 4/4 time.

The thought that originally made me write this was that it is in fact more the lovely rolling drums in Night that draw me to the song and note the keyboard hook that runs throughout. That and the bass.

feeling like shit.....

to add to the fact that today was 9-11......

things just got more gloomy when I found out earlier today that the oasis show at terminal 5 that I was looking forward to going to GOT CANCELLED.

Yes, I was supposed to see OASIS at a venue with a capacity of 3000 people.

That's as intimate as it gets for oasis now.

Ugh can  this day get ANY worse?

I hope the guy that attacked noel in toronto gets the book thrown at him.

HE FUCKING RUINED MY FRIDAY NIGHT.

to top that, i don't think i can go to wombats and the kooks in asbury park because its too far.

right now i hate the world. 

i was homeless......

Today often feels like a somber day because of September 11.
Seven years ago I felt lost and afraid that all my belongings were destroyed.
I couldn't go home for months after that... and the feeling of having no home in manhattan was the worst feeling in the world.

The Manhattan core is the only place in the USA where I feel at ease.
Everyone knows by now that LA just gives me anxiety and I can't afford xanax.

In the months after 9-11, I wasn't a very happy person and I was subject to living in outer queens and spanish harlem (upper manhattan).

Spanish harlem just ain't my style. I prefer downtown manhattan.. where i can walk to soho aimlessly and appreciate the cobble stone streets and have that nice settling feeling that I'm downtown.

Today I'm remembering that feeling of uneasiness, lament, despair..
and I really miss being in my old apartment.
Because at heart, I'm a girl from tribeca..
and I'll never forget that.

I really miss tribeca a lot. It's days like this where I feel like I need to be in my old apartment.
Sometimes I sit in my current apartment and wonder how I ended up in the new york equivalent of leicester square.

To Them We Must Pay Homage

Throughout music, the majority of people are looking for the 'new scene' or the new music about to 'blow'
Whether it be guitar-based, or of a more sound-system style approach.

I'm no different
My sister, on the other hand is stuck in a seeming time warp, of early 00's speed and 2-step garage.
I am a bit sad, because I was slightly too young for the garage revolution in the early 2000's that was sourced in the very area I live.

But now, as my musical education is getting better in all things 'urban', and I have started DJ-ing.
I have realised, in my haste, that you should never dismiss the past.
"Dwell on the past and you'll lose and eye, forget the past and you'll lose both eyes."

Because for every musical movement you are wrapped up in, the people that have gone before have curated what you love today.
For grime & dubstep heads, it is absolutely all about the garage scene in the late 90's
because without them,
none of this would be about, or if it was, it certainly wouldn't be anywhere as good/big as it is now.

So to all the garage music heads.
To you we pay homage

xfm

I've been told through reliable sources that XFM london  may cease to exist soon.

Gcap was bought out by global and they may rebrand the station or resell it. 

There is a high chance that the flagship station in London might be something else. 

XFM scotland is going to be a dance station soon..... wow.

I guess I will never work for XFM. That's pretty sad. But it's not the end of the world....

procrastination

tomorrow, i am finally going to do something I've been meaning to do all summer and I hope I don't screw it up.

The idea- this insane idea I had several months ago.. its kinda falling into place. I'm still thinking its a crazy idea but its a little more in reach than last may. 

Maybe It can happen. I'd like to believe it can.

I have to admit it though, growing up in a city like new york has a lot to do with everything falling into place...

I couldn't have imagined life without it.

Now what will happen to me when I am completely on my own without a personal network to fall back down on (hence the rancid pun).....

only time will tell..........................

Me going to the uk does not mean reading or leeds

I love how people just assume that I "probably went to the UK to go to reading/leeds"
Okay the idea of Reading and Leeds sounds amazing.
Festivals like that always seem better than they really are.
It's also like 400 american dollars to attend leeds / reading three days in a row.
And you have to either find hotels or take the train from london and back.

That's probably not counting the cost of water.

My connections also don't "work" in the UK.

So that means I'd probably never go to Reading or Leeds because I'd have to be on crack to spend $1200 USD to get to a concert, assuming airfare to LHR is about $800 USD.

The truth is id rather enjoy London, get lost at v + A, and go to the pub with my friends.

So people get surprised, since I'm really into indie, punk etc that I actually didn't fly in for Reading and Leeds.

I'm not much of a festival person anyway. I've only made one big trip for a festival and that was last year- for Coachella.
Now the assumption is that I'll go every year now...

um no.

Coachella was just terrible cause it was 110 F every day and at night it would get down to 60 F.
It's the desert. And i was passed out during the arctic monkeys and every other band I wanted to see. I was sleeping under a tent during hot chip. How terrible is that? I spent so much on water, its not even funny.

Every time I ever think of going to a festival I think of Coachella and talk myself out of it.
Thank god I practically went to Coachella for free cause if that cost me $1000 (USD) I'd be hella pissed.

I prefer mid sized festivals close to home where if it's too hot, rains, or the bands suck, I have the option of going home.

That's why I liked All points west w- radiohead.
The right amount of bands.
Not too big.
Weather = perfect.
And I survived with 20 dollars for the entire weekend (cause I was broke).
Jersey City was less than 10 miles from my place of residence.

and again, no. i didn't go to the UK for reading and leeds.

Rotten week

It's only tuesday but it feels like this week has lasted about 5 years.

So far I've...

• Had less than 16 hours sleep in 3 nights
• Had my plans messed around someone, resulting in constant shift changing
• Worked a lot
  
• Lost my clocking in card, university card and photocopying card
• Had my oyster card stop this working this morning (4 days into a new monthly travelcard)
• Banged my head on a wooden table
  
• Messed up a bit a work
• Been given a bad hair cut
  
• Moaned to Peter too much
• Found out the optical drive in my laptop is faulty and would cost a bomb to replace
• Been messed around by Orange who charged me to get my PAC code and then never send it.
• Had no break with the house hunting...
• Had some woman shout "What you looking at!?" when she screeched her zooming car behind me while I was crossing Bromley road.
  

Im know I'm a complainer, and I'm sorry. I just want a hug :(

Deadly Rhythm presents DJ MK

(click flyer for large image)

Sunday nights are good for one thing.
Lying down, moping about having to go to bed early, and get up for work.
Not if you're a no-good-student-layabout.
Then you can party down to the sounds of DJ MK and the rest.
FOR FREE

This looks like it's going to be a good night,
so, you'll see me in the corner sippin' on Champers,
but for some reason, i gotta face they all wanna ramp with

A TRICKY DAY

The first time I ever heard of Tricky was in LA many years ago. I was in Silver Lake, inside a building covered in Ivy while someone introduced me to Tricky's music. Let's just say back then, I didn't get it. I was too into punk rock to listen to anything regarded as experimental.. or anything trippy hoppy beyond Fatboy Slim. I think i started listening to Sum 41 too. Oh to be young and closed-minded.

Fast Forward to today....

This Morning I drank a cup of PG tips Tea and had the last of my Mc Vities Dark Chocolate biscuits. I also realized I was in Manhattan and not in London. Oh, how I miss London. England, I love you. I really do.

Back to Life,

Back to reality.

Some time later, I got invited to see a Taped Performance of Tricky doing about 4 songs for NYC cable television. I figured, I have nothing else to do this afternoon, I might as well trek it to Brooklyn. And So I did.

I never realized How amazing Tricky (real name Adrian Thaws) is. He takes that Evanescence sound by collaborating his vocals - either singing or rapping with it. It has that ambient, somewhat slow, trippy beat. Some of his songs he has more of a hip-hop dance feel to... but that female vocalist in that band is so talented. I managed to bring my macbook pro (which is in a sense, my only digital camera) to the television set and took these photos.

It was amazing, and then I watched an interview with him. I also got Free mc donalds coffee!

The funniest part was before the live footage, his guitarist, this punk rock girl with bright red hair (you can see her in the photos before) was wearing this red and striped tie and tricky told her to take it off cause it was a "bit much". Tricky thought it was too matchy - since her hair was red and her shirt was black. So she had to learn to be less of a fashion punk, lol.

(I know some of the coolest fashion punks around, ahem t and v kidding)

And then the official photographer joked that "those willamsburg hipsters" dress like that all the time. Or something like, "Tons of hipsters dress like that in Willamsburg".

Tricky is from brighton and just released his latest album ,knowle west boy.
I think I might get it. His sound is truly unique.

Then I decided to go Irving Plaza downtown later at around 10:00 eastern standard time to check out his live show. As usual, I was given VIP status (look below) and enjoyed a proper Tricky Live show! The gig was much better than the videoshoot.

It took me many years, a trip to a TV studio, and a free Tricky concert to appreciate the artistry of Tricky.

Kids, only in New York.
(this kind of thing can only really happen in new york)

Eh, I guess it's not so bad to be home. But I still miss london. But at the same time, I don't have that sort of access across the pond, cos, you know, its a whole new set of people- different labels and all that within that world.

It dosen't matter, I prefer london and my friends there nearly any day.

Golly Gosh

First off, I hope Peter doesn't beat me up again for changing the layout. Last time I had to spend a week in Hospital. I have bad eyes, it was hard to read, sorry kids. I retained the sky blue on the sides...

Secondly why does the hairdressers never goes right? I say keep it long, 2 minutes later I have no fringe. To be fair he did ask me if the length was okay but I was flustered and confused and said yes....

Thirdly what a busy time its been recently. For a August when I didn't go anywhere it twas very eventful. Here's a list of some of the things that happened, for your enjoyment...

• Saw Calvin Johnson in an Arsenal youth centre
• Jean came over for a week
• Got two jobs
• Joined/went to the gym
  
• Got to hang out with KB for a day
• Re-discovered the Desaparecidos album
• Ellens's band released a single
• Thought about and saw houses
• Continued listening to Girl Talk all the time
  
• Chelsea rocketed to the top of the PL

Okay so its not that much, but there are probably a ton of things I can't remember because of how mad and packed the month was... In terms of this month, I reckon towards the end of month this'll be a goodun. I have no idea who Loefah, Bassclef or Oneman are but the two verse and one song I've heard from Afrikan Boy have been fresh.

Deadly Rhythm @ Goldsmiths Tavern - 27th September

Nail the Cross Festival!
Benga
Loefah (DMZ)
Afrikan Boy (Live)
Bassclef (Live)
Oneman
Tomb Crew
Deadly Rhythm Soundsystem

I saw this in thelondonpaper a few weeks ago and it made me LOL on the train. I've decided I'm with the 'Get rich crew'. I'm tired of not having mad money like Jim Cramer and the rest would just take too much effort. Either that or a Bhangra Muffin, good name and sounds fun.

sitting around

There's nothing like manhattan.

Okay that's a lie.

I'm walking around these streets still wishing I were around piccadilly circus and picturing the spama lot theater in london whilst staring at the one in midtown manhattan.

When it comes to America, there really is no other place like new york. And if you are the type like me who craves in and out, palm trees, and a good beach not to far away, and the urge for amoeba - there's san francisco.. the perfect hybrid between new york and LA. 

I've always said that San Francisco is that city that is the perfect hybrid.. 

I really can't complain about being in nyc though. I really cant.

Yesterday  I went out to eat at one of my favourite resturants - Red bamboo and I was glad.

It's been a while since I've had some good quality vegan asian fusion food. 

All I can do right now is make the best of being at home.

Right now I have to decide whether I will see finch or adele tonight.. or run from irving plaza to webster hall. I'll probably find a way to go to both shows.  Thank god both venues are within blocks of each other .

and no i will not kick adele in the face. Yup meehan, I'm protecting adele.

I don't think I care to go to any fashion shows this season because I can't deal with empty people telling me how to dress to watch skinny ass models for 15 minutes display clothes normal people wear. Fuck you bryant park.

It's best to have friends of substance than of materialism. It hit me last week.
