Dubstep

Last night me and a friend went to a dubstep night @ Volks. We had some troubles getting in, we thought we would get in for free because of someone she knew, but we ended up paying £6 each, regardless all our efforts to be nice and smile to the quite fine-looking guys at the ticket desk. Anyway, they were helpful and told us the line-up for the night and about this youngsta guy, who turned out to be a fuckin genius that always has a cigarette stuck in his mouth.

So, we got in and while my mate was dealing with her ex, I felt bored so I started chatting people around. First I met a very annoying dude, who said he was a primary school teacher and was moaning about not being able to find any drugs … Sorry mate I ain`t got any. Someone was telling me there were loads of Polish people at the party. I turn around and I see the backside of a red jumper of the Czechs’ national football team. So I decide it’s a good enough reason to start a conversation and I do. It turns out the red jumper is from south London and is here with the whole crew. He introduces me to bokbok, one of the guys djing tonite and the nerdy looking guy who cruises around with a camera whose name I don't remember. We spent the night talking and dancing to the dope beats. They tell me about the culture and taught me it is very important to know how to say “yea” properly. I ask them why is the bass so loud that your whole body is shaking, your hair is waving back and the whole room bouncing. But this is dubstep. It is about the physical effect of the music. You cannot listen to it on an ipod. You hear it on a loud system, the louder the better.

The youngsta starts playin. Brilliant beats, deep, nasty. It is obvious he’s been spinning records for a long time; his mixing is perfect.

Dubstep is a new thing and the people who introduced it say…”there wasn’t much going on at that time so we had to do something, you know, you can’t wait for someone else to do it for ya”. In general, it’s a style that developed from garage music but it's darker and it has more jungle and dub influences. It’s an amalgamation of various styles.

No Place Like Home

It's the end of the working day, but a heavy snowstorm has brought chaos to public transport and gridlock to the roads, thus trapping everyone in the smoking room after hours. Sharon is forced to spend an uncomfortable half hour in the company of her staff as she waits for her car to turn up - small talk not exactly being her strong point. Fortunately, Sally has been to the shops at lunchtime and happens to have bought a bottle of vodka; unfortunately the only thing she has to mix it with is a bottle of pasta sauce. Strong language.

this needs to be chekced out

Lily Allen

http://myspace.com/lilymusic

London based, new British singer Lily Allen is the middle child; daughter of film producer Allison Owen and actor Keith Allen.

Her huge popularity on MySpace helped her get a record deal; Her first single, ‘LDN’ (london), is expected to be this summer’s hit; Giles Peterson played it last Sunday (that’s how I found out about her); LDN is a cheesy yet delightful track with genius lyrics and an urban edge.

Her songs include lines about grans getting mugged by 15-year-olds or they are an open message to ex-boyfriends:

“When you first left me,
I was wanting more,
but you were fucking that girl next door;
what u do that for?”

She talks about pimps and crack whores as if she has just walked off a council block. However, she states it is the city she lives in that influences the lyrics. And it seems she loves London never mind all the horrible things about it. It is sly, street poetry mixed with cheerful, 70s sounding melodies. Gotta check it out!

greatest achievement

It's been three months now since I quit smoking! hell yes!
