Forever he will rep UK to the fullest


Went to guidlford last night to see my man Sparx play his first live show with 10-piece-acm-talent band, and you know for a guy who's last live performance was outside the John Kelly College in NW 4 years ago, he ripped it up. I worked on this guys debut album Why Not?, and he was as good on the mic live as he is on the CD. In fact, many of the songs on the album were recorded in one take.

This guy is on some badman ting.

Supporting him was Channel U favourite KAID who, to me, lacked the charisma needed to entertain an audience when he is the only man on stage.

Sparx looks set to become one of the very few hip hop artists (and he an artist, not just a rapper) who delivers entertaining live music. He may be to the UK Hip Hop world what Pendulum are to Drum'n'Bass.

Big Tune

Just improved on 'This Ain't No Fake Aggression'; new lead synth part, and a sample of me shouting "WOH!?" along with a bit of a shaker to liven the beat up.
Upload to myspace in 2 weeks, tops.

Out.

Today I:
  • Woke up
  • Was (and still am) hungover
  • Had an epic bowl of tesco-pops
  • Listened to quite a lot of music, including Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack, Beecher, All Shall Perish, TC, Sub Focus, Benny Page (big up), and baaaare dubstep (standard)
  • Was notified by Jon that I had chewing gum on my t-shirt from last night, which could have been there for most of the night (might take a picture and put it up)
  • Put said t-shirt into the freezer
  • Went to town (Bournemouth) to buy some gold and white air force one style lacost trainers
  • Couldn't get into shop (was closed)
  • Jacked some sample CD's off magazines in WHSmith (I'm so grimey I don't even pay for my sample CD's bruv)
  • Bought a toilet brush for JP to clean toilet with
  • Realised I hadn't shaved my hair properly last night and had a little long bit
  • Read Blackdown's blog and decided to make my own...
