RODS & SODS

If you know me, you will probably be aware that i am an avid/seasonal (part timer to all the pros) sea fisher. Something useful (or not, depending on your view) that i took away from my time in Brighton. Another thing that I rate bare is a good saying, a persey that i heard in Berlin was 'Alter Shalter', translated means 'Old Light Switch', but in conversation is a put down from a yout to an elder. In English we don't have anything nearly as good as that for a good bit of ageism, but what we do have, thanks to the great fishermen of this fine island, is possibly my number one saying of all. It is used as a means of hollering your fishing boys as you pack up and chip back to yard. It is the seaman's way of saying 'safe' 'in a bit' 'take it easy', but encompasses all of these and more in to one beautiful treat of linguistics. The said phrase is...............

............. 'TIGHT LINES'

As i hope you will agree this is the English language at its absolute best, and if you do feel the same as me about this poetic piece you will understand my complete joy at finding this literary gem in a small book shop in Broadway Market. Its a catalogue for from 1971 for.... you guessed it, fishing. Not only does it hold some absolutely jokes photos but it is, as is this post, conclusive proof that i have far far far to much time on my hands.

Anyways, this one is fresh off the press, late night, jobless (again), skanking material for all that like it deep. Big up Jamie Vex'd on the last one, such a heavy riddim, also a massive high bums to Akira Kiteshi, i bruck my knee for that boy.

GOD DAM FUNKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nathan at Spalstique, a general dapper dan, and always a good source of the obscure, linked me this absolute treat for the senses. He introduced me to Dam Funk (the Stones Throw Records artist whom is most definately of this ilk, if not the creator of the riddim) a month or so ago, and i rate it bare. It is, from what i can fathom, the heroin induced cavortings of the ultra bohemians. New York based by the sound of things. If you are the type of person that enjoys loosely jammin funky rifts on your mega retro Moog Synth, whilst getting your super slender girl (one of many, who, dons a tight weave/fro and only wears silk thongs) to prep your already withered veins and rocking out (in a very subdued, Gill Scott Heron style) to space aged beats and breaks, then this is for you.

Its all about the visual on this too. MAD PROPS NATHAN!!!

ONE MAN AND HIS..........

Somebody showed me these photographs by Pieter Hugo some time ago. I had forgotten about them until recently watching one of DA's (David Attenborough) many african spectacles. They are some of the most incredible photographs, and the ones i have chosen to post up here are merely a taster of this series. I have never heard of Pieter Hugo before, he is represented by a South African gallery, so i'll take it that is where he is from. I have always had mad love for Hyenas, they are alway depicted as the scallies of the African plaines, I personally rate them as top dog (no pun intended) in those ends. Word in the field is that they have the strongest bite in the animal kingdom, BIG! i will allow Pieter to explain a little bit more about the pictures himself, clock the links for more info and of course more pictures.

oh yeh, the baboons are sick too

"These photographs came about after a friend emailed me an image taken on a cellphone through a car window in Lagos, Nigeria, which depicted a group of men walking down the street with a hyena in chains. A few days later I saw the image reproduced in a South African newspaper with the caption 'The Streets of Lagos'. Nigerian newspapers reported that these men were bank robbers, bodyguards, drug dealers, debt collectors. Myths surrounded them. The image captivated me."

Some really nice work worth having a goosey at HEREfrom the Other Gallery. JEFF LADOUCEUR is the artist behind these wonderful works, but he is merely the tip of the iceberg. CHECK WE

FRUICTICIOUS

After the popularity of the last 'WONK HOP' mix i have been pon a mission for some guest mixes from the movers and shakers of the said genre. Paul White is the owner of One Handed Records (i think), the label that has pioneered the UK sound. Some of the tunes featured in this mix are also in the earlier 'WONK HOP' mix but there are also some unheard dubs in there for some cracked out head nodding. If your into this sort of stuff clock Paul's myspace for tour dates and links to other related artists. Supporting this genre is something that i feel strongly about, I genuinely think that the likes of Paul, Bullion, Hudson Mowhawke etc have the freshest sound around at the moment. The music that these guys are making works on so many levels, if you haven't been to see them live i can strongly recommend it, maxi vibes! This mix is from Mary Anne Hobb's radio show, which again, if you haven't clocked, do. Get on BBC Iplayer and have a listen It gets my vote as the only reason to pay a license fee.

No tracklist on this i'm afraid but check the other list for any details you might require.
