morning OT
I'm off to Bristol this morning. I'm assuming based on b3tans in or from Bristol that it's a wretched hive of scum and villainy, so have engaged a native guide.

What are you up to today?

I did drink a bit much myself last night.
I have some hula hoops and watered down squash - sorry, vitamin water - to restore me by lunchtime.

I'm waiting for the washing machine to finish so I can hang up the laundry and
*sigh* go into work.

In the meantime, however, I have just verified the exciting fact that I was told yesterday:
The introduction to the late Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" sounds like the Wonder Stuff's "Size of a Cow" being played by a sad ghost.

After much searching, I had to go to Croydon to pick up a shirt.
It's literally the coolest shirt in the world. Off to a mate's in a bit to sit in his ace garden, soak up the sun and chain smoke. Was supposed to go to Holborn later but I can't be arsed. Will do it tomorrow.

Since then I've been to Hackney City Farm, an adventure playground (are they still called that?) where I had to face away from my daughter on the swings so she could kick me up the arse at the apex of her swing (about thirty times), I've designed a new monster called 'Crab Monster', watched 'Karate Island', cleaned my bathroom, put some washing on and had a gigantic reefer.

I do now.
I love Big Daddy Kane. Really getting into some of MC Lyte's stuff as well. The comments on 99% of these videos sum it all up for me. All this stuff, especially in the early 80s, used to be so artistically decent. Rappers carrying the beat as opposed to riding it. Now it's just depressing. Chris Rock sums it up well; www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcqJDDhoUlc

Kool G Rap's 'Ill Street Blues' is incredible.
DJ Polo was shit, as was Eric B. In both cases the 'DJ' bankrolled the venture and was actually a drug dealer laundering money/vanity project, like how Eazy E funded NWA. Rakim's job nearly went to Freddy Foxx, fact fans. This is also, fact fans if you're still with me, how Barry White started his musical career.
