nineteen percent vs beyonce (shes going down!)

I fucking love this lady, she would probably hate me due to my uneducated feminist angst, i love her even more for that!

google doodles

Love the little animation  above the Google search box today, a series of contemporary dances moves by the late Martha Graham pictured above.


underground sticker-ing

The above has made me smile more times than i care to mention this week. An awesome project which needs no explanation really thanks to its ‘does what it says on the tin’ namesake, check out the site by clicking the pic above, browse the photos and keep your eyes open next time your on the tube in Laaaan Daaan Taan ;)


a royal l’andri

Honestly i have no idea what this is all about….however what i do know is that it stars Europes number one party girl on the underground (seriously shes everywhere!) Pippi Eluschka and her fabulous friends hangin in a Laundry Mat, seriously put a smile on my face this arvo….my laundry is so dirty ;)


black & white obsession

Lately i cant help but take photos with the black and white function on my camera, even in the most modern of settings i love the way it turns any scene into a 40′s snap shot, timeless and quite genius. (my snaps are in the Flickr photos top left in sidebar)Watching The Dreamers last night i made the link between the recent hue of my snaps and my Brassai obsession which began about this time last year. Wishing i lived when he did in Paris armed with a fierce set of post war suspenders and a camera. In that booth, that embrace, slipping into the misty shadows at the end of the street, red wine, smoke, velvet, metal, white tiles and cobble stones…

my panic attack

Annoying but not at all usual, sudden and quite unexplained, embarrassing in public and highly inconvenient at the departure gate…


boom kick boom cha

Pop Justice tweeted yesterday that if i work in an office i should play this really loud, i agree but seeing as its the weekend im expanding that suggestion to where ever you are play it loud and boogie with Herr STyler on a Saturday ;)


who are you?

south america 2010 caja crowd

One thing that always baffles me about gigs i do is the amount of pictures/videos people look like their taking. What happens to them afterwards, i always wonder, as only a handful trickle down through facebook and the like. In particular my past tour in South America had the most amount of people in all 5 gigs waving cameras in the air (or standing still whilst achieve perfect framing) whilst i was performing…my questions is where did all the evidence go? In particular i request the help of my Santiago homies to find the Photographer (or videographer as he is in the above shot) with the red jumper and black A’s hat in the centre of the above picture, taken by Manuel de Fierro at Caja De Ritmos.. he was taking pictures of me at the sound check and then through out the night, very curious as to what exactly he was doing…. Any way easier to find and with awesome results i must link up the rest of the galleries from the people who took the time to upload their shots of all the action, Fede Welbe @ +160, Black Magic Sounds Venezuela and of course all the Sub Grave Sao Paulo crew :)


ode to the spider

Somewhere in my frontroom is a monster, its present location is currently unknown. This unsettles me somewhat, having met if face to face only once i cannot be to sure of its exact type or species but one thing is for sure, its big and i dont like it. Sitting here on the couch half asleep i swear its somewhere watching me with its beady little eyes *skin crawling*. Fight the fear i must, be at one with the beast and so a dedication, to take this creepy crawly feeling away, ode to the eight legged invader.


i see berlin

pause for thought

Im here finally, living here til the end of Oct, i know its only for a short while but still right now im here… (more…)


happy b day culkin!

Is there anything this man doesn’t do?

Dali-Mustache-by-Philippe-Halsman-20

Its mid week Wednesday, so why not champion weird and wonderful, and think positivly! Lets do it all at the same time by watching the master of surrealism Salvidor Dali from the 50′s TV show   ‘Whats my line?’ I swear this cracks me up everytime, you see the panel have to ask yes or no questions to decipher what his profession is, however Dali can answer yes to nearly all of them,  ‘is there anything this man doesn’t do’?! So inspired by Mr Dali and some PMA from yesterdays social networking im going about the day with a big YES. Just dont ask to borrow any money ya spoil sports ;)

jesus & harry potter at mosside carnival

Carnival Jesus & Harry potter

A week back today i was at Alexandra Park in Manchester enjoying the Mosside Carnival,  the first time i’d been there in over 12 years! Shocked as i was to see Jesus and Harry Potter there i was even more surprised by the beautiful weather and rather pleasent crowd of all ages, creeds and cultures peacefully enjoying the some what community lead entertainment and tasty but pricey food. Snap happy as always here some pics from a very fun sunday… (more…)


n-dubz + crop circles = ?

Trying to understand the logic behind the latest crop circle whilst at my sisters with N-Dubz playing in the background (on the radio) equalled a very confused Jenna. It was the complete oppositeness of text i was reading to tex i could hear spoken that proved all to much for my fragile little mind. Heres an example…. (more…)


complex vs Li Lo & Kaws


Sacre Bleu shes banged up and on the same day she got incarcerated for a measly 14days this magazine dropped! Loving the idea of the shoot but some of the pics fall a bit flat for me….the cover rocks as do those hard plastic Kaws gloves SICK!

More pics at Holy Moly


saturday night snaps by Ellie G

Last weekend was at the Hare & Hound in Birmingham for the Utah Jazz album party longside the man himself, Nu:Tone and STanza. Massive thanks to Ric for inviting me down there was a very fun night (apart from the weird guy who replied to me answering his question about Burger Bar shouts with ‘thats a great answer for a journalist’…ok then mate). Met lots of lovely people including my sister in name sakes….Ellie Gibbons who was snap happy in the crowd, loving the pics missy thanks so much for sharing, find out more on her website :)


dj beef is sooooo funny!

LMFAO

Ok im not taking sides in the inane twitter/facebook beef (lmao) going on between Rusko & Deadmau culminating in this quite graphic picture. I not really interested in who said what or why or whose better etc im just pissing myself laughing at this poster! The artistry of producer beef is somewhat classier to that of mc beef im thinking…im also thinking that this post is sounding like the beef section of a chinese take away menu. Its also highly amusing how not being able to smoke weed backstage has escalated into a fully public diss match not to far form the release of someones new album….ill say no more and watch from the sidelines ;)
