Jarrett you're a true G, thanks, thanks, thanks. Looking freshle in the manor now. No longer will Jammer, Capo & Ratty laugh at my Dunlop whites. According to Danny at RWD it's worse to wear the Dunlops with green. Not that I care too much, after all I've never been a sheep. I was wearing scuba diving suits to school for a laugh and I was bussing leg warmers and skirts over trousers long before it was deemed acceptable. Once again, and what?

Take Care Out There
I don't know whether this is true or not. I've been receiving a lot of bomb jokes in the last week. It seems it's ok to be racist these days as long as you put 'very wrong' in the subject line. I'm all for laughing in the face of fear but surely there's limits?
Lethal Breasts
Watch Out
Shottie and I have a new column in Good For Nothing Magazine. It's free so nab yourself one if you can find it. Our debut will be in the next issue. Hold tight big bull and the boorman! Gully.

We Still Run The Road
Shout out to Danny Walker and the RWD crew on this one. Three covers to collect; JME and Titch, No Lay and Doctor, Plan B and Klashnekoff. Read about Run The Road 2.
Breath Of Fresh Airs
Yes, Ears mixtape is nearly ready to drop. 'Breath Of Fresh Airs' will showcase his versatility to ride a number of tempo's and different style. He's also grown a few inches and now towers at over 6ft.
Bad Man Skepta
It's nothing but love fam! Making himself known at the moment, Skepta's moving differently. I gotta shower him in extra niceness cause he's put me in a lyric. Spanks a lot. Sketpa 'Single' is out now or you can listen back to some realness on Logan's Kiss Show from last Thursday.
Pull Up Janis!
Congrats to my girl Linzie... added to CNN Babes website after her debut appearance. You know you've made it now!
Big Smoke Relaunch
It's back and on shelves soon. Big up Harry, Jake and all the gang, Sway front cover story by yours truly.

Christian also directed me to 'shitty socialist-style towerblock' over at http://www.voco-me.de/blog/images/gt2_hellersdorf.jpg. He tells me the kids who posted this picture live there and are full-on grime-nutcases. People have been going mad for their podcast, live-sets of the parties over at www.grimetime.de.

Monday 11 July 2005
And So They Talked
Thomas Jefferson: The advertisement is the most truthful part of a newspaper.
Edith Sitwell: The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.
Abigail Adams: We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.
Paul Valery: The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.
Will Durant: Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos
Havelock Ellis: The more rapidly a civilization progresses, the sooner it dies for another to rise in its place.
W. Somerset Maugham: It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.
Moshe Dayan: If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
Malcolm X: You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Soren Kierkegaard: People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
Jules de Gaultier: Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.
Mark Twain: The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
Sir Winston Churchhill: For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.
Susan Jeffers: We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic.
Benjamin Franklin: Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Joseph Addison: What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

Kids Think Too
Thursday 7 July 2005
What Can I Say?
It's a horrible day. Mixed emotions. I feel guilty for being sad when I'm ok and so many aren't, I think it's the shock. The sound of emergency vehicles isn't letting up and the phones still aren't working properly.
It's amazing what a difference 10 minutes in your day can make. I was running late so got to Old St just as they were closing station. Despite hearing a bomb had perhaps gone off at Liverpool Street (the helicopters and speeding police seemed to back this up) still got on the bus towards Kings Cross, worrying about being late to work. I've got lanyards to deal with don't you know. Getting stressed about buses being to full. You always think it won't be you don't you?
Just before arriving at the station the driver was alerted to a bus bomb. By this point there were about 30 buses just waiting, not knowing where to go or what was actually going on. One by one engines switched off. Next the glimpses of walking wounded. No phones working. Panic. Sirens.
Until I got into Shoreditch it was a different World. Hundreds of people just wondering around, waiting at bus stops, not knowing... I opened the front door and the relief hit me. Back home it's peaceful and you wouldn't know anything had happened. But it has.
And I don't know what to say. n.b To save confusion note this picture is not from today

About Jammer: Hailing from Leytonstone, East London, producer/MC/hype man Jammer is one of the key figureheads of the grime/garage scene: big tunes include Fire Hydrant and Destruction VIP (featured on the Run The Road compilation). The former N.A.S.T.Y. Crew member (now running his own clique, Jah Mek The World) smashed it in New York earlier this year alongside 17-year-old protege Ears and MC D Double E in one of grime's first forays into North America. Jammer's also worked with godfather of grime Wiley (Roll Deep), Lethal B (More Fire Crew) and Riko Dan and remixed the big man of UK hip hop, Roots Manuva, as well as finding time to launch the successful DVD series Lord of the Mic! His incendiary live performances - some call him the Lil' Jon of grime - have earned him a reputation as the most rewound artist around. Like he says...Neckle! "A brilliant grime pioneer" - The New York Times, "The crowd were obviously loving it, loving it, loving it" - Chantelle Fiddy on Jammer in New York.
