cancer bats sabotage

Ever since my tshirt sleeves were ripped off by the lead singers teeth last year in Tokyo i have been a keen fan of the Cancer Bats . The video to Pnuemonia Hawk sealed the deal thanks to the maple syrup drinking plaid shirt wearing, lumberjack styles of the hunky drummer. So naturally im ecstatic about the new album Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones but a little pissed their not playing in Manchester whilst over in the UK promoting said new release, London is not the epi centre of the UK you know! Anyhoo in honor of their new album, selective UK dates and the pipe smoking, heartthrob of a drummer i thought i’d post their cover of The Beastie Boys Sabotage which was released back in March, enjoy!


not rubbish just STUPID ;)

Finally a DOPE video for the ever banging Stupid from Redlight featuring Roses Gabor , vocal doesn’t make me wet but her stance in the video is ridicuolusly cool and its such a heavy track i don’t care and im diggin the UV theme Redlights carried into this video, finally a vision bigger than one single in this uk dance market! Out on Digital Soundboy very soon but i already got the instrumental…hmm me feels a bootleg vocal coming on ;)


cherry coke, jim henson & alex nut ;)

Midweek mix for your ass, or rather your ears unless of course you can hear with your rectum, which could be the subject of entirely different post…anyhoo music in the mix courtesy of Alex Nut (who is down at Fabric this Friday) these are the sounds and styles he’s feeling right now, in his own words ‘if you like cherry coke and Jim Henson then you will be feeling it too’ :)   Listen.download.enjoy.share :0)

Black for the Oscars

Ok im up to date with my film list and concentrating on the lighter preparations for tonights impending ceremony, such as my outfit!

Don’t Tour That Episode 19 up on DontWatchThat.tv featuring one of Manchesters finest team Strategy from Broke n £nglish, ABSOLUTELY WRECKS IT IN THE SHADOWS OF OLD TRAFFORD, ‘i might go for the salad but hold the tomato!’ ‘eating emcees like carrot cakes, cause to me he sounds weak like Gareth Gates!’ as always relevant and random lines for days Strats, the flow is ridiculous!

Mobos Warchild - Fight for best camera angle section!

Mobos was this past week and predictable as ever, loved the location of Glasgow SECC (happy Noisia memories) i mean you can’t get more out of London than that and it was nice to see so many UK acts get awards but really thats what its all about innit, Music Of British/Black Origin…i always get confused since they scratched Drum n Bass!

Kano one of the UK’s best mc’s in my books is set to release a new album next year featuring some pretty interesting production credits from Hot-Chip, Radio Clit and Boyz Noize…its quite an exciting project for this young fella from London, his fourth album! However after watching this video (on Miss Fiddys Blog) i think ill save my personal giddyness for next the single… (more…)

Summer Tour Dates!

Haven’t been bloggin’ as ferociously as i used to lately and that is kind of down to being so blooming busy with the boys from Brighton! Touring with The Qemists this year has already took me to 5 different countries, playing around 24 gigs in support of their debut album ‘Join The Q’ which is out now! If you haven’t seen us yet there’s plenty of gigs on the way over summer, check out the tour dates in right column on blog. This little video is a snapshot of The Qemists Live so far… (more…)


Song for the day – Micachu

Curly Teeth – Micachu & The Shapes

Where did i even find this again? I honestly cant remember but i might have heard it on 6music which plays constantly in my kitchen when im home ;) Mica Levi is the singer and song-writer with a keen ear and a natural talent for music, check out more of her stuff for hoovers as instruments….DOPE! Curly Teeth chinks like china and flows smoothly in a jingle-jangled tone. I think the person knitted my over-sized art house jumper listened to this whilst getting her hair cut in an asymmetrical ‘i just got out of bed’ stylee, RAD!

Enjoy :) Jenna Ration G


Rowdy Superstar

Not new to those in the know, ‘Tick Tock’ from Londons’ flaboyant Rowdy Superstar has been about since early last year. Been going through lots of UK videos getting past and present to get me all inspired as im in video making mode this week, had to share this bit of genius!


Cereal Killer – Fruit Loops

Cereal in the UK is so boring i stopped eating it for breakfast and munchies a while back. Occasionally ill take in a box of Special K or Cookie Crunch if i can find em but its not something i crave in the morning (unlike my vanilla n hazelnut blend, gimmie coffee!) even the fun size boxes stolen from buffet breakfasts lost there thrill… (more…)


Home blud?

Less than 12 hours and im on a plane back home to blighty….definately sad to be leaving the winter sun and Aussie attitude behind. Thinking about all the things that make me smile about my little island in the freezing cold to make the trip home less stressfull…this always gets me going, thank you Regatta & Rabbi for showing me this one :P
