Breakestra @ The Hare and Hounds Sat 21st Nov

Yeeeeah Breakestra make their long overdue Birmingham debut at The Hare and Hounds, if you've not seen them before your in for a treat...if you have seen them before you've already bought your ticket! I'll have a dig through my vaults for my interview with them when they played at the Warwick Arts Centre a few years back (damn just checked and it was just over 5 years ago!) Also got two of their live sets from their previous tour back in my Breakin' Point days (shouts to Chris) but need to dig them out and undecided if I should share them or not, enough requests and I will. Support form Funkbox and Sam Redmore, it's going to be one of the gigs of the year! Facebook info here

J-Zone Knows Whats Up

It's all about tapes! Stilts, Canns and Percy know the time. Great to see Zone's got the Baritone Tiplove Livin' Foul cassette too. J-Zones also got one of the best blogs on the net get peepin
Look out for the Paten Locke track on the next show too, should be up later today...

D'Angelo Voodoo EPK

This is good, wonder how many others are out there in cyber space now, any recommendations just leave a link in the comment box. Crazy seeing Eric Clapton in the video too, I'm going to play the album tonight

Bonus Redman EPK from Whut, one of my favourite hip-hop albums with so many memories for me growing up. Thanks to the original uploaders too. I'd treasured my Gangstarr and Beastie Boys promo VHS tapes but since they've put everything out on DVD they're not quite so special

When People Take Things A Bit Too Seriously...

Wow, I mean I grew up playing SF2 Turbo (shouts to Percy), Mario Kart, Sonic etc and still enjoy playing games every now and then, but these people need to get out abit more (or get locked up cause they really shouldn't be allowed in society!). I think he actually means he loves the game buts a little upset he deleted his save file or he wouldn't have been playing it for 17 hours straight (or have milk on his lip, the ladies will love him after this) Thanks to OJ for the link

Further proof that some people might need to get out abit more, this ones for Audessey, thanks to Joe Davies

Finally, if you needed to see anymore and props to Terror
