why the hell not ?

A friend of mine a couple of years ago told me there were loads of rumours about this

On Ttuesday I got a text from a mate which ended up with me going to Rough Trade East in Brick Lane to see a live session by Charles Bradley

I am not kidding this was one of the best gigs i've ever been to ! The man can sing and has raw power and emotion too

it was a really impressive set and a really great perfomance - I was blown away!

he's touring at the moment so if you get a chance go see him !!

Here's a few youtube videos of the bloke live

I picked up a copy of the the Isley brothers greatest hit's cd today in my local charity shop for the princely sum of £2.99

got loads of classics on there like between the sheets, harvest for the world , summer breeze and its a new thing ( probably my favourite track)

I also discovered where Ice Cube got his sample from now for today was a good day - i never knew that !!

also picked up a morcheeba album too - blood like lemonade

thankis for posting that up - discs 2&3 look well worth a look

when I saw them last year DJ lord did a dope turntable set using nirvana

Davy DMX played a rock riff

and PE and the band played a lot of their rockier based tunes

was still a good set though and i would have any doubts about seeing them again

I was looking to go to this but didn't get there

how 'rocky' was it - when i saw them last year they had quite a rock type sound wondered if it was the same again or whether they've reverted back a bit

must have re-formed

live in concert !

Bass how low can you go ?

not surprised at all mate - I loved it when I went - what was the best thing you did ?

epmd on in mancland on 5th april - it doesnt say who the guests are though

looking forward to getting to this one

i think epmd are playing manchester the same week too - just in case you're interested

how was the holiday by the way ?

sorry black star ! also the forum 29th march - but may have sold out

with support by monie love and nice & smooth

wow !!

all these years and i never even knew there was a video for al naafiysh

even more I didn't know it was filmed on the tube system

those 40p ticket machines take me back a few years !!!!

I went to the B-Boy documents discussion with david toop last night - the author of rapattack - the 1984 published bible of hip hop from back in the day

the night started with an old school set and then we settled down to 2 and a half hours of interview, questions and discussion with David Toop

it was a packed cafe with plenty of old school homeboys in there including rodney P members of the sindecut and Family Qwest as well as zulu nation members

It was one of those nights that you simply had to be at - pure knowledge

anyway I took my camera and got some pictures mostly of the flyers from the old jams I went to

I've tried to upload some photos but I need a url anyone know how to upload from an album on my hard-drive ?

I went to this last friday a cafe venue with an upstairs they have decorated the walls with blow ups of old flyers for jams , articles and quotes from people relating to back in the day

The walls brought back a few memories of jams I went to then to top it off they few a cracking jam upstairs too

if you get a chance to go to one of the events here this month don't miss it and maybe take your camera too !

I dug out the seventh seal last night to have a listen - I've done rakim an injustice

its quite good just not a classic
