Mum Cuss
Spotted in yesterday's Mirror Newspaper:
"2 LEAFY GREENS
You may have hated the soggy spinach your mum, but served raw it's fresh and tasty. Plus it's packed with folate, a B vitamin that helps keep body cells healthy, prevents anaemia and breaks down homocysteine, an amino acid that increases risk of heart disease."

Friday in Shoreditch...
Last week was the first Friday Forward>> that I've reached... I couldn't believe quite how rammed it was. N-Type played a wicked set and although The Plastician's was good, I've heard better sets from him. I missed the last set cos it was too damn hot for skankage in a the basement that is Plastic People and was instead pulled out by the idea of a rave that was going on around the corner only to find that it had been shut down by the police. As a result, the ravers who'd been made homeless gathered in Hoxton Square and before you could say 'the rise of the idiots' there were a load of people walking the streets with blinking lights and laughing gas balloons.
To me, East LDN's an essential and familiar getaway from the South yet it's noticeably different on a Friday night. The heat, the mashed up, buzzing bodies strewn all over the pavements and the ridiculous amount of police made it feel like Faliraki but for Shoreditch twats. Following the Beigel shop stop (Salt beef pratzel!) I ended up on a friends roof terrace watching the thunder and lightening and grooving to reggae covers of Elvis on London's self-proclaimed official BBQ station. Nice way to spend a Friday and certainly more comfortable then trying to find some cool space to dance in town.
As myself and other regulars have said before Forward on a Friday is a bit weird but never the less, it was good to see a fresh and enthusiastic dancefloor. This Friday's Fwd marks the highly anticipated return of Streatham's El-B to Plastic People following his dubstep roots set at Fwd at The End last month. Also on the bill are Loefah, Youngsta and Geeneus. Should be a good un.

Love flickr...
the infinite way:
upload bare photos. check other people's photos. leave comments. join like minded groups.
A networking system that avoids ego bull shit and opens a window onto the big wide world. Better then myspace . On flickr, images do (most of) the speaking.
Some of my faves:
Benjamin Bad Bones:
Familiar?
Blackdown: LDN-Tokyo.
Bok Bok: London, Art, randomness
Drumslut: An amusing portrait of life down under
Emma Jane: Femininity
Fail Me: Photos from a variety of events including Bash, Dublime and Peel Sessions
Monkey Magnus: Bristol, Textures, Bikes.
Mister O: Characters that look good enough to eat.
Pirate Internet: Signage
Rahkzin: The life of a young man in Hawaii
Saneasitneverwas: He too has a thing for feet.
Sense Mag: Photos from South London's Sense magazine's travels through music culture.
Version: Beautiful B&W film shots from Dubstep's No.1 Germany rep.

Viva la Skull Disco
Let's hope that April's Skull Disco at The Red Star Camberwell wasn't their last venture into party-land as they have stated it might be. The vibes that Shakleton, Appleblim, Bobak and Engine Room collectively create are totally unique. Shouts to Dubpressure's Letti who provided some visuals at their last bash. Exactly the kinda thing I'd like to see more of at future dubstep events.
