Three short mixes by three (possibly) quite tall guys



I've been looking after the Vice site this week so I got Bok Bok, Crazy Cousinz and Jackmaster to do a wee mix each for the music blog. You can get them all here.

UrBaN Q&As

(These were supposed to run with a piece in a forthcoming issue of NME but there was no space for them)



FLUKES FROM CRAZY COUSINZ

Why is 2009 gonna be the bestest year that has ever been on a calendar?
Because we have a lot more to offer, we're much more of an established brand now with more fans behind us and a lot more music to drop for '09. And we've got the support of the 'bestest' journo to ever grace NME.

How much money do you estimate you'll earn in the next 12 months?
$20 billion Ugandan dollars.

What do you plan to spend all this money on?
10,000 copies of NME.

How many pairs of trainers will you buy with your earnings?
I've moved up a level – I do shoes now.

How many more girls will you get when you become worldwide famous in 2009?
It's not about the quantity, mate... it's the quality!

ASHER ROTH

How many Top 10 hits will you have in 2009?
14 tracks on the album equals 14 Top 10 hits.

What do you plan to spend all the money you will make this year on?
Psychedelic drugs and prostitutes.

How many pounds worth of gold and diamonds will you own by the end of the year?
I will own my body weight in gold, but no diamonds.

How many times will members of your entourage be wrongly arrested following scuffles with the paparazzi at international airports by the end of 2009?
It doesn't matter as long as Sloane [a character in popular HBO series Entourage] is safe.

How many pit bulls and other aggressive dogs will you be buying this year?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze is clearly one of the best movies of all time.

CHIPMUNK

How much money will you make this year?
Triple what I made last year, which was quite a lot.

What will you spend it on?
First thing I'm going for is a mortgage – I'm going for a house this year. I might get a few jewels but nothing too outrageous, and, as soon as I pass my test, a car.

How many magazine covers do you think you will be on in 2009?
Every one that's relevant, so at least 30, man.

How many bottles of champagne will you be poppin' this year?
Hmmm, I don't really like champagne too much, but I drink it. I like Malibu and coke, and Bailey's. I try to stay away from the alcohol, if I'm honest.

Thursday

Simple lyrics, simple flows/Got the ravers on their toes



This is "Funky Anthem", the new single by Crazy Cousinz featuring MC Versatile, the guy who appeared on DJ NG's "Tell Me". I remember I (jokingly) described "Bongo Jam" by Crazy Cousinz as "Tell Me" multiplied by "Pow" to the power of T2, which the producers then began quoting in interviews. Well, I could not be more sincere when I say that "Funky Anthem" is the sum of "Heartless Theme" and "Champagne Dance" divided by the reciprocal of 21 Seconds, raised to the power of 138 Trek.

More on the Fader site.

"Shout out to Burger King"



I'm pretty over the really bad, cringeworthy jokes about Big Brother so I didn't want to mention it this year. But my friend sent me this clip of Harry Hill's TV Burp and pointed me to 03:50, where Calista is in the studio performing. Have a look. "I love to play my bongos in the morrrrnnning" – that has to be the biggest vocal hook ever. If this gets released it's gonna be like DJ NG's "Tell Me" multiplied by "Pow" to the power of T2. Look out for the Styleslut feature on it in Pimp Magazine in 2010.



Try to ignore Big Narstie's freestyle here but listen out for the constant jibes from Westwood ("Shout out to Burger King" etc.) and look at everyone else's reaction around him. It's basically like the fat kid at school getting picked on. Quite sad really.
