Crooked tongues x Carhartt and RUSKO!

Went to the crooked tongues x carhartt bbq yesterday. It was all good until we learnt the food had ran out! how can you host a free bbq and RUN OUT OF FOOD!


Anyway, the FREE drinks were flowing and there were a few girls about. Party was full of people watching each other and ish. I know what i was doing though...



Blah Blah Blah, a good few drinks and hours later, Rusko makes his entrance



and promptly BATTERS down the rave!

Should have spent at least 15 minutes performing stretches on the major muscle groups before he came on..... What i love about rusko is, he's right there with you all the way. He might as well be in the crowd! If you ever get a chance to see the man, DO IT! none of your friends are on it..... fuck it, go it alone. Dude is a BEAST!!!!!!!

Im off to nurse my ankle, pain killers are wearing off.

McYera

Went to koko yesterday to see a friend of mine xenmate, play in the Jack Daniels room.




Met loads of really friendly spanish folk, sandwiched inbetween 2 spanish women who enticed me to dance with them. We had a really good hamburger situation going on (i was the burger), until 2 drunk guys came over and tried to make it a triple whopper or something....they were quickly shown hostility and made their exit. Met a new best friend from chile, say wasup man -



He had an old skool reebok chilean (i think its pronounced CHI LAY AN or is it CHI LI YAN? hmm) football shirt on with the number 11 on the back (ivan zamorano) a good look. If i ever need a place to stay whilst in Chile, i know who to look up.

Anyway, weather looks good - gonna go out and top up my tan.

Feeling VERY good at the moment. I feel like i could fly. In fact i feel like.......

Update

Bumped in to my guy Budgie from honest jons records on portobello road.



He turned me on to some funk i've never heard before, a group called Lakeside. They maaaaaad funky.



He's also putting on a night at market place with Eric lau called "TOMORROWW" on the 29th of August. Music will be very much like the video above. Borrow your dads purple suit (you know hes got one) and get down.
Djs on the night will be Floating Points, Eric Lau, Budgie and Inka.

On the subject of funk, saw this video of roger troutman and tech9ne in the studio. Look out for when tech9ne's wife calls and roger talks to her through the vocoder. Its bare funny!



Long will Roger live in memory.

Off to koko tonight - should be good, xenmate (http://xenmate.blogspot.com) is playing with the bridging the gap family in room 2.


Till next time, Keep your pimp hand strong coz you got it going on.

Free Jazz

Free jazz is an experimental impromtu form. It unites elements of big band, avant garde and classic jazz forms. The tempo is very off kilter but perfect in its timing. Its greatest exponent is Sun-ra. Although many have dabbled in this form (thelonious monk for example), Sun-ra remains the figure head for this very specific sound. It has a very cosmic spacey feel to it. Almost as if it were forged from the cosmos themselves. The sun takes lead whilst the moon sings backup and saturn feverently beats his drum and the stars dance in unbridled excitement. I could talk about this all day, but id rather you watch the video to really feel free....
