alright so ive been having a lot of down time at work now. so to pass the time ive been scouring you tube to help ease the day.
and to my luck i came across some old super bowl videos with and actor thats been in quite a few movies of recent. Lester Speight... alright so to most of you out there. your probably thinking who the f* is Lester Speight. well then... he is the big thug brother you see being played in 'Norbit'.. he's jnr's father in law in 'my wife and kids'...he's been in so many things. you will know his face when you watch the videos.. he such a funny man.. the bigger they are the harder they make you laugh. i pretty much had to sit on the floor in my office and hide my laughter from the boss.
these are my favourite two.

Little Boots
alright so i got a sweet email today from the guys at In The Mix here in sydney.
it contained an exciting suprise. in all honesty it was such a sweet suprise after the last month of being stressed out with work, plus leading into parklife. this could only mean something sweet should happen to me, cause after thinking that fate did not want me to go to parklife. karma has come back and given me a special invite to the little boots show here at the OAF
i was super stoked to get this, as its going to be her only side show she does in australia.
so without further ado, to get your bodies ready for the long-weekend. here's the hottie herself for you. if you want to see her, she is playing this wednesday the 30th sept at oxford arts @ 9pm
you can get her album of itunes - hands and its a bargin @ 10.99

Crystal Castles are coming
I have been a fan of Crystal Castles for a long time now. Ever since i saw them at the Meredith music festival in Victoria. Even though I had a random attack of hay fever from being in a country paddock for 3 days I managed to get up at 2.30 when their set was on. The lead singer Alice Glass walked out with a full bottle of Jager and was swigging it straight from the bottle (so rock star). They pumped out a chargey set that gave me goose bumps the whole way through, even their chilled songs are still intense, when they play live. Don’t miss them at Parklife this year.
Watch this creepy clip!!!
Untrust Us....
This is my favourite track "Alice Practice"... Its pretty insense and Alice is just screaming through it but i think its nice....
Alice Practice - Crystal Castles
Chronicles of Never and Pittbull Mansion
Chronicles of Never have been a brand I have had my eye on for a while now. They make awesome jewellery and shoes. The shoes all have their own unique crazy shape and style. Gareth moody is the creator of Chronicle of Never and used to work for ksubi before it got the T (tsubi).
Chronicles have an online store and some of their apparel is available on the pittbull mansion website.
I have put a couple of pic’s in this entry, some oversized bags, new mens shoes and the pic that is heading their new campaign (at the top).
Pittbull Mansion
Pitbull mansion has a great section of Australian and overseas designers available to purchase from their online store. Brands they stock are Stersis, Claude Maus, Melissa, State of Georgia, Karen Walker, Love Jungle, Lime Drop and Stolen girlfriends club to name a few. The clothes are pretty cool seeing that pittbull mansion is based in Tasmainia, weird huh!

Zouk- noun (origin: French Creole for "Party")
Yo Gabba Gabba! is a PARTY tv show that is beamed to us from the states and shown on Nick Jr. (ch:703)... Its a kids show from the same genre as High 5, Wiggles etc. and aimed at the ever impressional and uber pop culture influenced young youths of today.... and i mean young (think teletubbies for the new aged). Forget "eh ooooooo" and "wake up jeff", Yo Gabba Gabba! brings you a segment called Biz's Beat of the Day, where Biz Markie, the rapper/beatboxer legend teaches the child watching to make basic beatboxing sounds...
This show is actully full of really catchy beats, bands and basslines. If you get bored and feel like getting in touch with your inner child from the new generation, sit through an episode (you may even see a few celebrities make cameos: Jack Black, The Shins, Shiny Toy Guns, Rahzel from THE ROOTS, Tony Hawk and the Ting Tings just to name a few)
This may be a lame post about bullshit kids tv.... But i wish the Ting Tings entertained me in the afternoon instead of some 50 year old man in a skivvy..

Life of the night.....Knightlife...
Knightlife is easily my favourite producer at the moment, it doesn’t matter if I am playing an opening or closing set one of his tracks seem to seep out of the speakers onto the dance floor. Knightlife is from Melbourne and has a synthy old school style with modern dance techniques to make you want to groove.
I cant get enough!
He is signed to cutters records ( CUT COPY'S Label), if you’re a promoter or club owner you need to book this guy, they need to be coming to Sydney on a monthly basis.
Buy the tracks off beatport
