Ju Ju Dust



This record is a couple of months old so apologies if I'm crazy late on this but its been sat in my I Tunes for a little while and I hadn't had a chance to listen to it. It finally came up on shuffle so I had a listen and I had to bring it up for a Halloween spin or two...

There's another DOG MAN!


A few months ago, I randomly spotted a man walking down Portobello Road with a dog balancing on his shoulder. As you do. (If you didn't catch Dog Man No.1 the first time round on ATCN check him out here.) Now there is ANOTHER Dog Man on the streets of London town. I don't get it? Is this the 2008 definition of Grandad swagger? Whatever it represents it keeps me entertained.

Have you seen any 'Dog Men' walking the streets?

ATCN in Paris

A long needed break came over the last few days in the form of Paris.
Obviously the sites needed to be seen...


I found this odd blue tower...

and stumbled across scaffolding that randomly had cues of people going to see some bird called Mona who lives there or summin? Anyway, being pointed in the direction of dope hotels and unbelievable places to eat by ATCN family Fats, also led me to the best guides to the city....
PainOchoKolat

Fashion, Art and music could be part of a long winded description of who they are but i figure a clip of the crew shutting down the street outside their Pigalle store says it better than i could.



Shouts to Hami

And Raf

for being my guides and without doubt confirming my thoughts that the ATCN state of mind exists outside the U.K.

When in Paris you need to hit the Pigalle store and see one of the dopest line up of brands ever from Swagger to Marc Jacobs. Also if there is an exhibition in the former red light district of Pigalle there is a good chance the POK crew are responsible. As a group of creatives PainOchoKolat not only run a store and throw parties, the boys run a consultancy company and have an office that doubles as a gallery space...

For more on the Pigalle store check out this short film Here
Props to the POK crew and Paris, we shall meet again!

Blur vs. Oasis

I have had this argument with many a man(and woman), basically because most people fight the corner of Oasis! Just look at it this way Damon Albarn is a genius, the term may be used loosely sometimes, but he really is. From classic brit-pop singles and albums with Blur, to alternative, indie, hip-hop, rock, funk tracks with Gorillaz, delivering many seminal albums in whatever he does. Not to mention producing musicals and various bits of solo work.

Where as Liam Gallagher is over hyped, and a bit of a waste of space. Noel has talent and is a brilliant song writer, and 'Whats the Story' is a classic album. But they are just churning out watered down Oasis circa-1996 these days!

So the question remains!

Blur


or
Oasis

Tinchy - Rollin' ft. Roache

Tinchy has done very well with his new street release, if this track featuring Roache doesn't wet your lips for the album nothing will! I like the track quite a bit, and the video is one of the best grime video's in a while!



Enough of my opinions, we are all a bit sick of them. What do you think?

SINK or SWIM?

Just Say No

If everyone in London is on coke (not sure I'm co-signing that one, Lily) then New Yorkers are apparently one step ahead of us, with Crystal Meth fast replacing cocaine as the Class A of choice. In an attempt to curb the use of 'Hillybilly Heroin', The Partnership for a Drug-Free America has issued these Before and After shots of Meth abusers.

Like the pictures you see of tobacco-ravaged lungs on American cigarette packets, but scarier.

Don't do drugs, kids.





'Faces of Meth'

Will it be ALRIGHT STILL?


Its been two years since Lily's debut and the short lived love affair the public held for her. 'Everyone's At It' is the first finished track to emerge from second album offerings. An easy target to lampoon and parody, does she manage to deliver with this slightly jarring effort?

"So you've got a prescription, and that makes it legal. I find those excuses overwhelmingly feeble…The kids are in danger, they're all getting hurt. From what I can see, everyone's at it."

I apologies for even quoting those lyrics. Are we all at it? Are we? Specks isn't.

'Everyone's At It' does it SINK or SWIM?

Palin-isms


The only thing scarier than the prospect of McCain as US President? Sarah Palin as his VP.


Asked in August about the prospect of becoming a vice-presidential nominee

It kind of cracks me up. It is so far out of the realm of reality (2008)

On her favourite food
Moose stew, after a day of snow-machinin' (2006)

On what got her into politics
I'm one of those people, y'know, I see a soldier walk through the airport and, y'know, my heart does a little double-take (2008)

On Barack Obama
Al-Qaeda terrorists still plan to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried someone won't read 'em their rights (2008)

On John McCain
He's the kind of fellow whose name you will find on war memorials in small towns across this great country. Only he was among those who came home (2008)

Speaking at her old church, the Wasilla Assembly of God
I can do my part in doin' things, like workin' really really hard to get a natural gas pipeline (2007)

On her son, Track
When he turned 18, right before he enlisted, he had to get his first tattoo. And I'm like, 'Nah, I don't think that's real cool, son' until he showed me what it was and I thought, 'Oh he did something right', because he had a big ol' Jesus fish. So OK (2008)

When asked: 'what if Israel attacked Iran?'
We shouldn't second guess Israel's security efforts because we cannot ever afford to send a message that we would allow a second Holocaust, for one (2008)

On how Alaska's proximity to Russia gave her foreign policy experience
That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the land-boundary that we have with Canada (2008)

Asked if she regularly got up early
Yup. We don't sleep much. Too much to do. What I've had to do, though, is in the middle of the night, put down the Blackberries and pick up the breast pump (2008)

On Alaska
We want to see Ivana Trump because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture (1996)

On the American forces
They are building schools for the Afghan children, so there is hope in our neighbouring country of Afghanistan (2008)

Asked if she was ready to be a mere heartbeat away from the presidency
Absolutely. Yup yup (2008)

Wassup 08

Blogger seems to have randomnly deleted my post from earlier today so lets have another go:

Shout to the DZL on this one, here is a reversion of the 'classic' beer advert from 8 years ago with the annoying catchphrases.


It's got some really nice touches to and seems to hit a lot of relevant points in a clever way. Have a watch - just don't start saying Wassup...
