webnic, originally uploaded by chantelle.

More MSN action for you. This time Plasticman chats bars, his imminent name change and album plans...

Chan Damager says:
plastic... whats going on fool? heard u have a gambling problem
Plasticman says:
haha - not a problem, but other gamblers definitely have a problem when I am at the poker table
Chan Damager says:
how much money you won to date?
Plasticman says:
not too much, I don't play for big money but I am starting to rake in a bit lately
Chan Damager says:
sly... ok... have u lost much?
Plasticman says:
i have lost a bit - but thats all part of the process of learning - i don't lose much recently, i've prob lost about £50
Chan Damager says:
the way things are at the moment, that sounds like big bucks... or are people tripping about how in trouble the scene is?
Plasticman says:
I'm doing fine out of it, but most of that money has come from bookings and not record sales
Chan Damager says:
and is that bookings abroad?
Plasticman says:
yeh there's much more money abroad
i think the nights are just run better, but a lot of the time yeh, they are bigger raves - the one we did in Brussels was about 2000 people, it really went down well - they are starting to make moves over there - the promoter who got us over there is so into the stuff he's heard when we've played there that he's trying to start a 100% grime rave regularly in Brussels
Chan Damager says:
i heard u were changing your name?
Plasticman says:
Yeh, it's possible. The whole Plastikman / Plasticman thing is starting to come on top and I think Mr Hawtin has had enough of me using the name. I aint going to let it go to court so a name change looks like the best option unless something comes up and it looks like I may have a chance of keeping my name, unfortunately he has been using the alias since 1993 (when I was 11 listening to Out Here Brothers). Boom boom boom, let me hear u say wheyo.... Them ones
Chan Damager says:
how are you getting around it then?
Plasticman says:
Well, I'm seeking advice from a few legal aides, I'm not sure what I will change it to if needs be. It's been ongoing for about 3 months now back and forth so whatever happens will probably happen fairly soon!
Chan Damager says:
what about the lego man rumour?
Plasticman says:
In desperation last week I thought I would email the big dogs at Lego to ask them about the possibility of DJ'ing under the alias of "Lego Man" They sent me a really formal, professional reply back too.
Chan Damager says::
that would have suited u
Plasticman says:
But in street terms, they were not havin a bar. Lego man would have murked Plasticman.
yeh that has run thru the head a few times "Mr Man"
Chan Damager says:
Murkle Man... clash Jammer or She Man
Plasticman says:
I would make Jammer quick time sekkkkkle!!
Chan Damager says:
Polyester Man
PVC Man
Plasticman says:
they all sound a bit S&M
Chan Damager says:
better than sounding M&S
Plasticman says:
Man Plastic. I can't really come up with anythin good.
Answers on a postcard. I am screwing about Lego though.
I could get them to make me a Lego record box to take to all my gigs.
can you imagine the publicity. I had it all thought out. Do you reckon Playmobil would be ghetto enough though? I don't think they have the streets on lock like Lego do
Playmobil Man is a bit of a mouthful though
Chan Damager says:
have u read a book called The Time Waster Letters... it sounds like something out of that
Plasticman says:
I haven't but from the title of it, it definitely does. But if one of them were to allow me, it wouldn't be a waste of time at all!
Chan Damager says:
on the real, boy better know bout you cause I know u have some serious tunes about to drop (I sound like JME's younger brother or something now)
Plasticman says:
JMEJR
Plasticman says:
I have got about 8 million tunes sat here on my PC
just itchin to see light of day. but hopefully it won't be long before they do
Chan Damager says:
8 million... when did u take up smoking brown?
Plasticman says:
I reckon it's more like about 30 (not million)
8 million was a slight exaggeration
I lay off that shit, don't you remember me turning it down when u offered me some outside FWD?
Chan Damager says:
straight white up ur nose star. i do remember... but thanks for putting 30p in my cup
Plasticman says:
All I remember was pure people asking me if I wanted a cab, then I heard a voice mention brown and I looked and there u were. I hope you spent it wisely
Plasticman says:
U know how it is at FWD, bare illegal cabbies
Chan Damager says:
i did, I bought the rephlex grime album from the woolworths bargain bin
Plasticman says:
Brap. What did u do with the change WASTEGYAL
Chan Damager says:
ha ha sent it to mark one, i see prancehall trying to murk him about his 1 jumper so I'm gonna hook mark up soon. mark one when u read this... know its nothing but love bruv....tell me, did prancehall murk me or did I hold it up for the gyal dem?
cause mans trying it left, right and up the batty
Plasticman says:
U held it up well. But Prancehall had some big bars too.I couldn't call that one
:It was a good clash
Chan Damager says:
when i release my album people will know
i got production from every big boy in the game
and i got more bars than cadburys
if u wanna add a 16 somewhere, we can squeeze it
Plasticman says:
I have the biggest bars (just ask JME and Skepta)
Chan Damager says:
i'll speak to my executive producer, simon reynolds, and see what he's saying
r u gonna be puttin bars on ur album... u know things like 'i'm a white boy, they try make me change my name but plasticman don't watch that, he'll stay the same'
Plasticman says:
yeh trust me. I'm so shower u may aswell put me in the changing room at Thornton Heath swimming baths.
Chan Damager says:
what u gonna call ur album any thoughts?
Plasticman says:
"Golden Shower" or I could have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme
on the cover and call it "Shower-Bunga"
Chan Damager says:
im a ghost writer for bare man
if u need any top boy tunes let me know
Plasticman says:
Truss I'm on it nI remixed JME serious in an MSN convo it's big
Chan Damager says:
its not true that I wrote Ps & Q's though... think that was actually Martin Clark
Plasticman says:
Nah I hear Martin Clark rolls with toppa top leng man... So I believe that
Yeh truss me Kode 9 is absolute shower curtain
Chan Damager says:
...like one of those ones u get in argos with cartoons on it
Chan Damager says:
if i had a shower id buy one of them, but I don't I share a communal bath mat
Plasticman says:
That is big. Thats the next prop idea - I'm lookin to purchase a shower curtain like that to wear behind the decks. II might get Terrorhythm logos and some silhouettes of guns and bats on it. that would be off the chain
Chan Damager says:
whats ur next release?
Plasticman says:
Goin to put the Still Tippin remix out on White fairly soon, there should be somethin on the flip but not sure what yet.
Chan Damager says:
i love that track A LOT
Plasticman says:
The next Terrornythm should be soon too - Cha vocal featuring Shizzle, Fresh, Napper and Cha VIP
Plasticman says:
big I'm glad u like it
Chan Damager says:

Plasticman says:

Plasticman says:
no sensibility pon MSN
Chan Damager says:
thats how we do
Chan Damager says:
on the real... do u ever think u will spit on a tune
Plasticman says:
Nah I have the bars but I can't spit
Maybe I'll do a skinner Cos he's murkin and he gets loads of free shit from Reebok now
and his label pay for him to shoot videos on location at 18-30 holiday resorts
Chan Damager says:
is that what u aspire 2
Plasticman says:
HahaI don't really aspire to anyone, this music thing is all a big laugh to me - I just enjoy it, if I can earn some money and give the scene some exposure along the way then thats just a bonus
Chan Damager says:
r u still signing on?
Plasticman says:
Under 5 different aliases I actually buy a flight to Newcastle every Thursday with the money I earn Just so I can collect some more. Big up Easyjet
Chan Damager says:

Plasticman says:

Chan Damager says:

Chan Damager says:
