Some people think I'm bonkers

This tune has been stuck in my head for the last few days! Such a catchy chorus from an artist who I've not wanted to like since he left grime behind, but I can't help it.

Mainstream it may be, the video is ALOT. Green Screen is a feature that had people laughing at the cheap videos shown on Channel U 3 years ago, but if you're as successful as Dizzee, it can make you look like you're on top of the world... without a crackly outline around you. He can afford it though init. A few years ago i would have never have thought I'd be seeing him in a colourful video spitting over an electro beat in a shark costume after squaring up to Crazy Titch trying to prove to him that he's "...not a mook." Oh how things change.

WAIT... was that Dizzee Rascal singing? ...wow...

Back to normal

First day of the week, I was really tired, but seeing everyone and finding out that they actually realised I was gone was cool.

Should have another canvas finished tomorrow. I would post up some progress pics but I'm too tired tbh. I'll do a little edit tomorrow.

As Grime legend Esco Barz sadly passed away last week, Logan Sama is doing an Esco Barz rememberence show tonight from 12:00. Should be good, Esco was definately a great MC and this shouldnt be missed.

RIP Esco Barz

P.S. Can you jerk?

Top Knoch mix: April

It's finally here, the second edition of Top Knoch's monthy mix for this baby of a blog. In the same fashion as last month, this is half Dubstep and half Drum & Bass. Even though I am the biggest dubstep head who posts on this blog, I think the D&B half is absolutely heavy. Just before the second half though, you may notice that Top Knoch's name is on the tracklist... again. FEEDBACK PLEASE. It will be much appreciated. 

Make sure your subwoofer is turned on... seriously.

Grenada Grenada... yo

I'm back mayn! Well I came back on Thursday so this is a bit late, but what an eventful two weeks!

The wedding, (which was the main reason for the holiday) went really, really well. Perfectly sunny day, many smartly dressed people, including myself ;), and the fact that it took place on the beach was wicked. Good turnout from the Brits made it even nicer.

This was my third visit, but my first with a camera. As I am always taking photographs these days, and looking for things to take photographs of, this trip really made me realise how much of a beautiful place this really is. 

I was able to watch a local cricket match between Harvey Vale & Lestere from the comfort of the house I was staying in. The closest beach was only a two minute walk away which is the handiest thing in the world when you want to bathe your many mosquito bites in the salt water. Stupid mosquitoes...

In one of the two weeks that I was there, I met a man named Vaughn (who was the best man). Vaughn owns a yacht. Unfortunately my camera had run out of batteries when he offered a cruise, but the views from the middle of the sea were amazing. Carriacou looks even smaller when you look at it from afar because you can see the whole island. That is not supposed to happen, but it does only have a population of 6,000.

The one and a half hour Osprey boat ride between Carriacou & Grenada is a bit bumpy. Sitting with a group of travel sick people for that amount of time looks, sounds and smells disgusting, but what is on the other side is worth it.

Having four dollars to the pound really makes you feel rich. But you really aren't. Prices are magically made higher when the locals hear a British sounding voice but bartering is fun... if you know how to do it.

If you ever visit Grenada, go to Fish Friday, which is on, surprisingly, every Friday. Go early though, because we didn't, and we missed most of everything. At least there was fish to eat. Which was quite very nice to be honest.

We went on a tour of the island as well. Which quite educational. I learned about the different spices, and their uses, learned how rum was and is now made at a rum distillery, went to a waterfall and watched some man jump into the 'shallow pool of death' as i like to call it, from a very high point. I still didn't have any batteries so its phone camera business whenever i get the pictures up.

I did finally get some batteries though and took many, many photos.

Pictures away.

To the sunshine

Only a few hours to go until I'm off to the airport. Grenada for two weeks, lucky me ay. Unless I can get to a computer despite my busy schedule, this may be me last post for a while but I'm sure I'll have a lot to talk about when I'm back. There's a few parties and get togethers I'm going to miss so sorry for missing them but I think this is enough of an excuse! I think this is going to be another full day of awakeness... I can't sleep on planes.

See you in two weeks!

Last minute trip to town

Chess is cool.

I've never even bothered to learn how to play, to be honest. I think I'll have to soon! One thing I have learned though, from my middle school days, is how to make water bombs out of paper. I used to love origami and after wetting a few people today, I think I have my hobby back!

McLaren & Ferrari are now on equal points after Hamilton was stripped of his place due to lies from the team. Not fair. Ah well, could be worse.. McLaren could be having trouble with their car this season. Wait...

April Fools!

I can't believe I didn't play a single prank today. I HAD IDEAS THOUGH! One thing I did do is watch Lindsey get fooled by a pair of evildoers, which was quite funny to be honest, not for Lindsey though! Haha.

If you've ever been on a website such as Bebo you might be familiar with the notices saying 'Do not add/talk to people you do not know.' Well, Yesterday I came across the total opposite - omegle.com. If you're anything like me, you'll have quite a bit of fun on there. Some people are there to spam ASCII pictures of Rick Roll, while others are genuinely there to chat. The idea of Omegle is to start a conversation with a total stranger, without knowing their name, gender or any other information other than you MAY not have ever spoken to them before. I am proud to say that I have converted a few people into 'steppers with my vast knowledge of knowing what listeners of other genres would like. Check it out.

England won! Sorry if you didn't want to know, but it was 2-1. Its nice seeing England playing at winning form again because watching them lose to tiny little islands was long. If you hadn't noticed, they were playing in a new kit today (for the second time - first was on Setanta - damn Setanta...) and it is old school! I would be one of the first to buy it tomorrow at launch but I'm learning from mistakes and waiting for the price to come down a bit. Even though I do think it would be worth it. It's 'Tailored by Umbro in England' so it must be good. The England crest has been edited slightly to give it a retro look, changing the roses most noticeably, adding yellow and green to the mix. The opposing countries name will also be added to the shirt, written on a ribbon underneath the crest, changing every match - obviously.

I've noticed myself compensating for the lack of recent posting so I'll keep this a bit short. Lewis Hamilton amazed me on Sunday. I am not a bandwagon sheep like you lot but the fact that he started at the back of the grid and worked his was up to 3rd (Trulli finished third but got penalised on the last lap and was stripped of his place) is a mean feat and the other drives should be worried! Jenson Button though, I'm pleased for him. I hope he and Brawn continue to do well, but not too well...

Too much typing >.<
