Nas & Damian Marley
I'm quite excited about this album that comes out in April, this song sounds pretty vital to me.Cinnamon Chasers - Luv Deluxe
This video made me feel all kinds of things, and I'm relatively dead inside. It's brilliant watch it!
I have issues with the ending but I'm sure they had there reasons.

Have you seen it? The cheeky bastards. Don't worry the lawyers are on it. A site where people go and upload their thoughts on Britain, what a shitstorm waste of time."Tony are you coming to the Lion mate? quiz time"
"I'll meet you later guys I'm uploading a video of myself talking about the true nature of climate change"
In this uploaded video a girl states that she doesn't think the license fee is worth it, because the BBC only really shows politics, and she only really likes reality shows, things she can vote for, although she does concede that Top Gear is sort of a reality show...
Jesus wept.
Ryan Mosley
If you are in central London you could do a lot worse than nip into the Alison Jacques gallery just off Oxford street and check out Ryan Mosley's new exhibition of paintings. That's the same place that Ryan McGinley just had an exhibition. Mosley is a mate of Sweeny's and is 'a bit of lad from the North' so it's great seeing him sticking to the London giltterati...ok I don't know if there is a London giltterati, I don't know if it matters that Ryan is a bit of lad from the North but to me it seems important, or at least notable.

Bear In Heaven
I promise to find some time soon to have a really good look for new music and share it on here. This album is the only thing I have been excited about recently. Listen to the whole thing on Spotify or Myspace Music and save me saying things like 'It's a bit proggy, a bit electro, a bit poppy, and quietly epic" Treme Teaser
From the makers of The Wire, not sure when it is expected on air, could google it, can't be bothered.

Saatchi Gallery Shows
There is a great exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in South London at the moment, featuring contemporary Abstract American painting and sculpture. I'd never been to the Saatchi gallery until this weekend, it's off the chain despite my misgivings about the man's taste, very nice thick wooden floors (very important)
Aside from the american exhibition there is a room full of crude freaking oil! pictured above, it's gosh damn amazing. At first I though there was nothing in the room, nearly left with a scrunched up face, I've gone down to the Lower ground floor (LGF) for this bull shit? But then I realised it was a near magical room, the metal thing seems to just float and not really make optical sense...
The Road
Click to enlarge.
Just wanted to throw my hat in the ring regarding The Road, I saw it at the weekend and thought it was pretty darn amazing, it has stayed with me like nothing I've seen. I'd not read the book or seen the trailer, I just heard it was really bleak and depressing and though that's for me. It was really bleak and depressing, and also really harrowing at some points, if you are a bit gay maybe stere clear, her in doors would have probably walked out after 20mins if it hadn't been for my assurance that I'd never speak to her ever again if she left, but afterwards she was thrilled she'd stayed. I love when a script seems distilled down to it's most organic and honest form like this, there's nothing worse than being manipulate by Hollywood whistles and bells...well there are things worse than that, just ask Viggo after he has opened a trap door about 20mins into the film The Road. Anywayz I wont go on just catch it if you can.
By the way I wouldn't watch the trailer if you haven't already it show too much for my liking.

Modernist Posters
Now I'm a bit of troglodyte as I'm sure you are aware, but a certain friend of mine quite likes things like Modernism, she's very often pointing at buildings and remarking on their functionality and lack of historical influence, so when I saw these posters in a magazine my eyes lit up "look! I know what the fuck these are!" They are brilliant, loads of great ones here.
