Distant Relatives returns

I went to see Nas and Damian Marley on the first round of this tour back in July. Im struggling to find the words to describe the quality and calibre of the show. In my book, not minding so much about the person elbowing you, the sweat dripping down your face and forgetting completely that you have to travel all the way home and haul your arse into work the next day clarifies just how good it was. And i do not like being elbowed, sweaty or out on a week night.

I bring this up now, nearly four months later because they're doing it all over again and this time they're hitting Wembley. Go, there are no words, you need to see this.

Marmara

I'm running out of reasons to not 'get involved' in this disgrace of a war in Palestine. My ignorance is the reason i haven't been protesting on the many occasions i could have. When things like this happen it compels me to learn more but the reality is sickening.

Our Deepest Fear

Why Dont You Love Me, HUH!!?

Gorgeous. The styling, the concept, her acting -and i can just about rinse some of my tribal skank moves over the beat on this, good value for money. How do they get that soft 1950s edge on the camera -my research is failing me!? I see a lot of myself in Beyonce, we even have the same cleaning-outfits. My pupils in particular have noted the resemblance and im sure its not just from behind.

Maybe he's just not the one? Or maybe he just plain, DUMB!

Its fine, i'm not bitter, honest.

Shameless Plug

Foreign Beggars

Thursday April 29th wasn't the first time i'd been to see Foreign Beggars. This time at the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen tickets were a modest £9 with a friendly bouncer thrown in for free. In the absence of Orifice the boys still pulled of an eclectic set being sure to pay homage constantly to their absent friend. In the name of diversity the dip into heavy metal was a crowd pleaser for sure reinforced by the mosh-pit that formed at the front of the crowd where i was stood, and crushed. Not cool.

Sometimes trying to please the masses spreads the goodness a little to thin instead of enriching it. The keen-bean, 'trendy' college-kids were happy -although they would be, out late at night, in East, wouldn't they?

Not to end on a downer heres a sideways clip of MC Zani doing his thing. And to think i was getting all excited at the hint of some bashment (note the camera bouncing) which lasted all of 30seconds. You tease!

Ps. Ive just looked at the site. Tickets were £7 in advance. I got done!

Three things you should never wear.

Unless you want to look like a mannequin white tights are not a good look. Tear them into strips and stow them in a first aid box.

Ed Hardy = Pirates on LSD.

Hoodies, perfume, thongs and whatever else they sell -no.

Beckham has worn it, but so has Jordan.

If you want to show off that you've got a lil junk in your trunk then fine, but leggings on their own are not worth that front view.

Sing it with me now 'C.A.M.E.L T.O.E'.
