South park does it again...

South Park is one of the consistantly great tv programmes...series 12 and no sign of getting shit...in fact they have just dropped one of their best episodes, because its all about the kids getting high off cats piss and tripping hard...but they made it an instant classic when they homaged the epic stoner classic film HEAVY METAL....why Heavy Metal? why now? because its awesome! thats all you need to know...

Mudwig!
By the way the Dilly Mudwig zine is SOLD OUT!
Will Barras!
Will has a great great style and everyone knows his work, but for me, from what ive seen of his new direction - see the picture, i think he is going in better and braver places...so definitly check this one out at the Stolen Space

DJ Cherrystones & Pete Fowler podcasts PLUS Group Inerane MP3

DJ Cherrystones and Pete Fowler have started putting up podcasts exposing their vinyl vaults...so get listening and downloading - perfect for the oncoming summer!!!
Poddycasts!
PS DILLY SPECIAL PYSCH GIFT!!!
while we're on the topic of good pysch music i present this cool mp3 present for you...as a way to make up of not posting for a long while..but i guess you have to like african pysch drone music to appreciate it!
This has been BANGING out of my speakers since i got a copy, and no shit have the neighbours been transported to Niger with this beast too - thanks to my violently loud musical freakouts. Anyway, this is part of that new wave of west african music made by geniuses who now hold guitars instead of ak47s with the biggest exports being Tiniwaren...if this is all news to you, check an artickle Pitchfork just did here that you should check out..but for me, my band is Group Inerane, and heres what the Picthfork say in their review 'Group Inerane are a hard band to hear, because their only Western release was a 1,000-copy vinyl pressing by the good people at Sublime Frequencies last year, but if given the chance do hear them...' well heres an mp3 which is san fran/texas acid freakout by the way of west africa...the soundtrack to lawrence of arabia, if lawrence of arabia was Roky Erickson...oh yeah YOU MUST PLAY AT NOSE BLEED VOLUME....i hope you enjoy it as much as i do!

OH SHIT! NEW WEBSITE PT1 - EROSIE BLOG

OG Main man (and new father - congrats again) EROSIE has a blog...showing his usual awesome talent mixed with interesting pieces on the circus of street based art...needless to say it will be an essential blog to catch - link is over to the right...

Zine Roundup

FUUUCCCKKK ME this post has taken AGES to upload thanks to a super slow Blogger....anyway, heres some zines that ive recently been hooked up with thanks to Lewis and Vickie

Lewis hooked me up with his latest photojournal 'KNIFE IN GROIN'...and it is up to his previous high standards that his last few zines created...super nice stuff...




My good friend Vickie hooked me up with Rhys Corens latest and also the new titles from jaguar shoes.
Rhys was in the Dillys 'Another Group Show' and is one of the UKs rising talents thanks to a great eye, a great sense of humour and an unquenchable thirst for parties and drink (cider if your at the bar). This zine is of his guilty cds that he still has



Jaguar Shoes has also dropped two more zines, that accompany the recent suzy q and crystal visions shows.
The Crystal Vision show for me is Londons best show of 2008 so far (with 96 gillespies Needles and Pens a close close second), and this zine is their paper collection of images from said amazing show.


The Suzi Q zine...never seen much of her stuff, but i really like her stuff, and cant wait to see more.

RIP

Tonight in the states is the last airing of a new episode of one of the best tv programmes made...yes, The Wire is finishing tonight, and i want to salute the series and say thank you for giving me such great tv...not tv like a quiz show, but scripts so tight it hurts...THANK YOU THE WIRE! RIP
