testing, testing @ parklife
The (locally controversial) Manchester festival was much fun this weekend, i was residing for most of Saturday behind the Ape tent soaking up the sun, hanging with Chunky n crew and trying out Ustreams Iphone app that allows you to broadcast live on the interweb to your Ustream Channel from your IPhone . Now it kind of worked and it kind of didn’t for a number of reasons, one major flaw 02‘s Iphone network being quite shabby on the day (quelle surpirse!) another being my newbie set up of the app and my channel on the site itself. Also the ever flowing stream of fizzy booze didnt help but i did get few things on video, however alot of stuff i recorded using the ustream app and saved went missing….not a good look and i should of just recorded via IPhone cam…lesson learned anyways here for your viewing pleasure is a little sample of the salvaged footage from a day in the life at the park!

coming home to you
Caught Hoodman last night at Moho Live why isnt this fella on my tv?? Truely awesome talent who i do not see or hear enough of…remember first hearing in this tune from UK Team and Konny Kon (Broke n £nglish ) when i had my show on 1Xtra. The manny accent and free flowing story line made me home sick as hell living in London. Even though it wasn’t packed in Moho last night (shame on to many people for a number of different reasons) the vibe was live and everyone who grabbed the mic smashed it big shouts to Siege, Hoodman, Mr Fox & Freestyle for a proper hip-hop evening

Too many tunes at last nights Ballin on a Budget thrown down by Chimpo, Toddla T, Zed Bias, STrategy & Konny Kon…could do a hundred tracks for the day but this one was the one i woke up with in my head! Slip mat down in the bath for some safe shower skanking!

Just found out that this very sick Nike advert was filmed up Oldham Rd in Manchester, i dunno why this makes me feel proud as non of the makers were Mancunian and it stars a scouser but still i am!
SFTD april showers – dru hill
Such an awesome album from way back when Sisqo hadn’t become obsessed with that thong (just golden i mean april showers…). Quite appropriate for the weather in Manchester this week, whilst the rest of the UK basks in sunshine, bitches!
if the vocalnic ash subsides ill be here this weekend!
Getting all excited and ready to rock it with Kabuki this weekend and then there was a volcano ? Austrian crew keep ya fingers crossed, cause at the moment no planes are flying from Manchester Airport thanks to Icelands misunderstanding of the request to ‘send cash’ (terrible joke there courtesy of @Thebadderman ).
the m*thaf*king gaslamp killer @ hoya hoya!
Yay yay yay and yay again for easter i dont want no chocloate or a day off i want some serious sounds from the one and only Gaslamp Killer, in Manchester (my home town) at Hoya Hoya TONIGHT. At times im happy to be a broke lush of a musician that dont have to get up early cause it means i can rave all night long…much like the last time he was in town for the Hoya lads at my favourite WHP ever! Have a butchers…
tonight i snub 50 cent
Woken up by a phone call this morning from a certain rapper who will remain nameless offering me box seats to his arena gig in town tonight as long i dont perform at Ballin On A Budget, man some people will try anything to sabotage the only place to be this Thursday evening. Mint Lounge with myself & Zed Bias, Fallacy, DRS’s Album Launch and of course the hosts with the most Broke n £nglish all for just £2, in the words of Curtis ‘ if they can’t do it, homie it cant be done…’ Need more inspiration then check these out….
the riot jazz i missed :(
So thanks to a dodgy kebab i ended up with my head down a toilet on Riot Jazz ‘s 2nd Birthday bash featuring the awesome Buraka Som Sistema, United Vibrations, Broke’n £nglish, MC Chunky and of course The Riot Jazz Brass Band . I really didnt need this beautiful video by Dr Treehorn to highlight what a dope event i missed, watch if you weren’t there at your peril
If you like it then you shoulda put a stick in it
This week on Twitter there has been some serious feminine appreciation, you could even say gyal crushing after becoming distantly aquainted with an LA based chica named Creation Cave after a very helpful tweet about fashion, we #ff’d each other and now im giving her some blog love for her brand new dopely titled Lovesicles blog all about her love for, you guessed it, popsicles. As the blog tagline reads: ‘If you like it then you shoulda put a stick in it!’ need i say more? Read.bookmark.crush but remember i seen her first!
epic footballer FAIL!
I cant even acronym how much im laughing right now. I just wish i had of recorded last night. First time in a while that i’ve been approached in a club by a guy and just my f**king luck that it was a footballer. His opening line ‘Im from London i play football, im in Manchester for the weekend and there’s no brownings...’ BROWNINGS!! lmfao are we in high school? did he actually say that! Not the end of it by far i think in the space of 10minutes he told me he was a footballer over 30 times….unfortunately he apparently plays/played for City…IM A UNITED FAN, double FAIL BRO! Of course not being a bitch i entertained him for a few drinks and then he started stepping in my space dirty dancing style…TRIPLE FAIL…after politely telling him to take his hands off me..ladies you know what came next…’Oh yous a fiesty one i like that!‘ QUADRUPLE FAIL! Im not feisty i have self respect i.e. this is my body you cant touch it with your potential rapist hands even if you are buying us all champagne which we never asked for but you think will impress us and by the way tasted like crap thanks to his incompetent pouring of the delicate fizz! The nails were already firmly hammered in the coffin at the get go however he decided to chain it shut and throw it into the ocean attached to Audi sized lumps of concrete with the question…’so do you like white guys, black guys, asians? Cause i love the brownings….‘ FAIL TO THE POWER OF 5 i told him i like Mongolians, they really get me off…he replied, i shit you not with ‘what you’ve slept with a disabled person..your a freak!‘ F**K ME SIDEWAYS how can you be that f**king stupid!? The crowning moment of the evening though was when he told me and the girl crew to google him (yawn) the first thing that pops up is a wikipedia entry about him blackmailing another footballer over a sex tape that he made! Pure class and evidently perfect material for the England squad….natch.
we not live in manchester tonight
Its one of the best value for money nights in Manchester, offering the toppa top local talent and serving up some nice drink promotions and giveaways all for £2!! Plus next Thursday (blush) come watch me and the Bizzle, thats Zed B-Line Bias represent for the Broke n £nglish Squad at Mint Lounge in just under 7 days and 8 hours time….see you there
get ready for the weekend!
In a hardcore/rave/jungle stylee with this mix by the incredibly talented and very undersung hero of many a things and master of Ableton that is Johnny Miller. I honestly have listened to it more times than 10 thanks to a few late night session last week ehem! Enjoy (more…)
