#FML moments....
This is a clip from a program in America Called 'Intervention" or some other touchy-feely name like that.
I haven't seen this particular episode so I have no idea what it was about, but unless these guys are both queer, I'm gonna assume it was about a difficult Father/Son relationship.
It was obviously a really deeply heart felt, and poignant moment in both of their lives.
They dug deep within their soles and shared, unreservedly with the rest of the world, which if you think about it, is actually a wonderful thing to watch.
Unfortunately, someone watched this particular episode, and decide, that this 38 seconds was Youtube worthy on its own.
Now these brers both look like pricks!

I don't know who this gash is, or why, or even if she did this, but after this, she, should pretty much, get a tit reduction, grow a dick, cut her hair and disguise herself as a man from now on.
This is so good you'll watch it TWICE, tho, probably not a third time, cos its pretty fucking long, and Bros are fucking tedious!

Just Jam: History in the making
You could say that I'm biased when concerned with how big 'Just Jam' will become, but when almost EVERY act that's passed through so far (Newham Generals, Jammer, Flirta D, Trilla, Funk Butcher, DJ Cable, Rudekid, Silencer, JJ & Spyro to name a few) has said some extremely encouraging stuff to myself, Tim, Barry or other Just Jam team members about the potential....we cant help but get excited about the live streaming show!
Last night was another good show! Funk Butcher graced the decks & then spoke to me about his history, production & the scene, DJ Cable handled biz on the decks for Flirta D & also kept the crowd entertained through the intervals, Fumin & Diesel passed through too, as did Birmingham's biggest MC Trilla.
We've confirmed some of the UK's biggest & best for future takeovers & appearances over the next month, watch this space for the info!
If you havent checked out any of the previous shows or highlights check out Dontwatchthat TV now!
Next week the BNTL crew takeover!

The prey, has become, the Predator...
..or some other suitably ironic sounding shit like that anyway!
P'N'B Have always championed the genius Shadrack and the mandem, as a hilarious satire of street culture, and a scathing social commentary on the bullshit facade of street thuggery.
Shadrack showed us how stupid, and macho thugs, really just want a hug.
The two comedians who played Shadrack and Abedigo are KG and Nicholas Marston, and despite the whole of the urban scene begging them not to, old Shadrack has been put to rest.
The guys have started work on their new (hopefully genius) project, Duncan and McKoy.
Having pulled a Cop's'N'Robbers 180, the pair now play a pair of fearless, although, to be fair, slightly brainless police detectives.
I recently had a chance to speak to both the Guys and they're fired up about the potential of the series, and believe it's funnier, and more professional than Shadrack.
The trailer looks hilarious!
Keep an eye on the blog, as we'll be sure to bring you the episodes as they're dropped, and hold tight for an exclusive interview with Nicholas and KG in the very near future.

Where me get mi Clarks?!
Probably from the only place that sells Clarks shoes.....Clarks ya bumba raaas!!
Strolling down Hackneys notorious Kingsland rd recently, i must have stepped on about 15 pairs of desert boots, i like stepping on hipsters toes, and shooting them the evil eye, so they're too scared to say anything, it makes me feel like a big man!
They're not fashionable, not even good looking, in the traditional sense, but they are a design classic, and a fundamental part of the history of British culture.
Clarks started creating comfort shoes back in the 60's such as the Desert Boot (based on military designed desert boots) and Wallabies (based on a traditional moccasin). They were characterised by the wide front of the shoe, which allows for a natural spread of the toe, and the elevated heal, with a gummy soul, which cushioned the impact of steps.
At the time everyone pretty much wore brogues, or uncomfortable boots, and trainers were strictly for athletes on the track. The shoes, with their soft leather or nubuck uppers, comfort, and unusual innovative looks soon caught the imagination of the innovators and first adopters of the day, the Mods, Rudeboys of the Ska movement, Skinheads, football casuals, right down to the Brit Popers, and Wu-tangers in the 90's have all adopted them, as their uniform in subsequent years.
And being as fashion life cycles are generally 10-13 years, it's time for the tastemakers of the world to start hunting down the classics, in dusty old back street stores, and thrift shops, aswell as ebay, and the net, and to start bringing back probably some of the most iconic shoes of the late 20th century.
Nothing looks better than a pair of Wallabies, or Desert Trek under a loose cut pair of straight legged jeans, and those streamlined Desert Boots under a pair of skinny jeans.
Theres several stores that are so old school, that they still sell vintage pairs of brand new boots form the 80's and 90's, the location of these stores is a trade secret, butttttt, thers one off Bricklane, one in Woodstreet in Walthamstow Market, and a few others dotted around London.
You can also generally pick up a few pairs for cheap at the Clarks factory store in Elephant and Castle.
So MrPopcorn, i hope that answers your question bout whe me-a ge mi Clarks!

Scorzayzee: Raging Bull
If you claim to be a UK Hip Hop fan & dont know about Scorzayzee...
Do some research!
He was part of Out da Ville, the Nottingham based crew (who Mistajam was DJ for) who were one of the 1st UKHH acts I took a shine too after watching the DarkNCold videos back in the day!
Scorz took a break from music for a quite a while, but strangely was in a film last year (Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee) & thankfully is now back on the music grind with this mixtape...
Give it to em baby like BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

Social media's for more than tryna bang chicks....
...this is some serious food for thought, and i liked how slick this animation is, so I thought i'd share it with ya'll.
It makes you think, stuff that is completely normal for us as web users, is a massive and difficult shift in thinking for older generations.
If we master these new mediums we'll over take traditional business is less than a generation.
And in turn, we're able to break apart 'old boys networks', and class barriers, and really strive to do massive things in the future.
Right, i'm off to create , and execute a brand, using next to no money, and a tonne of creativity, and social savvy and know-how, and i'm gonna take over the world with it!
Say something bitch!

Anyone fancy some LOVEly Greasy Fried Chicken?
The culture of the Fried Chicken shop is something very London. I never realized until quite recently, when I had some friends over from South Africa, and they commented that it’s probably something which is most symbolic of London. I was stunned, the Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye are all dwarfed in iconic status by Big Maz’s franchise of Disco Fried Chicken on the corner?!
However, every 5 steps I took, I started to notice yet ANOTHER chicken shop, and I realized these South Africans were completely spot on. Mr Khan is actually the unsung Hero of East London, where else are you going to pick up a grease-spiked piece of not-so-fresh fowl carcass at 3.52 am, and STILL actually derive some pleasure from the experience?!
See, you couldn’t give me an answer...
Chicken Cottage, Sam’s, and any other rip off of the KFC franchise is one of young London’s collective late night guilty pleasure’s. The other being that post-clubbing booty call to that slightly over weight bird who always let’s you bus-a-nut on her chest.
It was a pleasant surprise to hear about an Exhibition in Shorditch which celebrated the Coronary-bypass-palaces as a True-blue cultural phenomenon of my fair city Londinium.
Bangkok (teehee) born Cathlove, is a creative fireball who gives birth to whimsical satirical art, which is accessible to everyone. Now based in Hackney, via Hong Kong, and Australia, Cathlove has quickly established herself amongst the scene as a major talent, having already worked with brands as diverse as Selfridges and WAH amongst others.
Her comical, cute, although often grotesque work, is always charming and thought provoking, without being preachy. The show entitled ‘Greasy Fried Dreams’ is not only a scathing commentary on the unhealthy western habit for gluttony and it's more-more-morementality, but one that pokes the potbelly of rampant capitalist consumerism, and tells it to wipe its dribbly chin, with a lemony-fresh complimentary wet-wipe.
I discovered her while skipping through the cyber-playground of Facebook one day, and was bowled over by the impact of the marriage of simple imagery, with complex, intelligent ideas. And when she invited me to the show at the Jaguar Shoes bar on Kingsland rd, and told me that the project was based around the yummiest of late night binge food, that’s the moment I realized I had found my soul mate!
The work itself include a couple of spectacular pieces, which are effectively wallpaper that take up the whole of the walls in the bar, they are psychedelic commentary on Hiphop, surreal consumer obsessed culture, including the late night smelly pervert, the Big Booty Chicken Head Diva, and even a fat-inflated heart ready for a triple bypass.
In short, what I imagine hell to look like, if Devil provided a Chicken Burger Meal for £3.29.
Catch the work at Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, 32-36 Kingsland Rd for the next couple of months. It’s well work going there to check out the work in all it’s glory, and studying all of the wonderfully ridiculous details.

CD IS DEAD - JME & TEMPZ
This is most definitely a banger.
Expect to hear it blasting from every droptop car, and from the mobile of a group of 14 year old school kids on the back of the bus this summer.
