Halcyon days

Today is a very special anniversary. It's almost exactly two years and 11-and-a-third months since I first posted the "Bow for the Wolves" video. This was the "Junior Spesh" of its day. Who remembers grime back then? To quote my friend Jack: it was the nangest of times, it was the aggiest of times. Incidentally, my column in Vice this month contains some "explosive" excerpts from Jack's diary from his recent tour with Tinchy Stryder. Read it here.

Jammer on Britishness

I feel this was almost custom made for here.

Get crunkczar

I just found this hilarious crunkczar video. The song is by a guy called Ryszard Kuklinski, who I wrote about in my second most recent column in Vice.

We're better than all that riff-raff / All Blackout Posse don't chit-chat / Our posse shake your Tic-Tac / If not, have a break, have a Kit-Kat

Introducing... Bolton's inimitable Blackout Crew, the bastard child(ren) of hard house, drum & bass MCing, Jive Bunny and Tesco Value hair gel. Is it me or does the guy who does the second verse really look like Little Kev from the Kersal Massive?

Anyway, look out for them at a couple of pHaT rAveS in the near future. Apparently they're big in Wigan.

:-D

My cat came running when she heard this. I guess they all must love theremins.

Beamz Music Performance System

Highlights:

• The high five near the start
• The silhouettes of the people dancing
  
• Baldie's face as he tries to seduce his imaginary girlfriend (around 1:50)
• The two tropical music guys in the really baggy shirts
• The words "Jam session"
  

While My Rolex Gently Weeps

Turns out that video yesterday was an elaborate April Fools' Day prank. Here is the official video.

Wearing My Timex

I think it's now pretty clear why Wiley wasn't so keen on being in his new video. Girls dressed as foxes running around and eating chicken out of bins? It looks like a bizarre soft porn video for animal fetishists who have a penchant for fried food.
