Mr T

I've been going on about this guy for ages, not on the blog but generally all over my facebook, so it felt a shame not to repeat myself once more upon here, check out Mr T London,

my friend Kojo hooked me up with his mixtape http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=91210835 but he can't take too much credit, because I knew about him first and I'm the one who told Kojo about this guy in the first place, obviously making me a much better person than he is (yes the childish and slightly music snobbish, I knew them before you did line) have a listen to a few of his bits here


I know this is meant to be sweet but it slightly scared me

it's well made tho!!!!

PLAIN JANES LOVE DAYLIGHT SAVING

Don't miss the first Plain Janes for 2009 on 1st March @ The Foundry




I'm really excited about this one we've got Luke H from SSD on the decks, and I love this guys stuff

as well as Trip Hop band The Kemistry performing and you don't want to miss out on that.

Afro Samurai Ressurection

Okay guilty concious, I haven't written anything for ages, and with a PJ's event coming up on march 1st I thought I better get my arse into gear.

One of the first things I thought I would drop a mention about is this. Don't know how many people watched the 1st Afro Samurai, but the second is back through Spike TV,

check the trailer here



I have soo many mixed feelings about this, based on the first I definitely didn't think it deserved a second round, I thought the narrative in the first was weak and wasted too many opportunities in terms of development, they could have taken the venegence concepts much further. Cross cultural links between idea's of a warrior in both African and Eastern asian culture, wasted.

I was soo upset I was overly hyped about the first one, until I saw the first one. So will they do any better the second time round, the trailer for this does look good though, so who knows. What I'm most excited about personally is that RZA soundtrack, the scores on this are sounding big!!!!!
