New Years blog will hopefully contain more words... Check back to see if your optimism is justified...

Vinyl is Turkey...

My second expedition to Coventry for a night out, and I really hoped this one was going to be better, if you read the post about my last adventure you'd know why!

So meeting Jon and purchasing some alcohol we boarded a train to Coventry, after a slight detour we arrived at the venue at around 9, sparsely populated I feared this could be a repeat of that fateful night earlier this month.

The venue filled throughout the next hour or two and it turned out to be a very busy night, a few sets lacked skill but the effort was definitely there...

The Tomb Crew came on at around 1am after some hardware issues and proceeded to destroy the dance floor with some old skool garage and then a series of devastating dubstep tunes, big up to that blonde girl requesting cockney thug!

The night drew to a close and a small gathering ventured back to Ollie's for the "after party" certain members took to many substances and retired upstairs, big up to Jon for pouring beer down my jeans (cunt)

I finally got home at 6.30pm Saturday and retired to my room for some much needed sleep!

Most enjoyable!

Keshoot!!

Just rolled in from a night of alcohol, laughs and photographs.

Kesh asked me to do some pictures for her clothing brand, recognising the oppurtunity to increase my portfolio, I willingly accepted..

So I get to Clapham North soon after 8pm and am submerged into a house of semi-drunken females... they dissapear off into Kesh's bedroom and 30 minutes later, I am summoned in...

I took a few basic pictures to guage lighting, and the effect of the flash gun... then get underway... I can't show all the pictures, for one there's far too many.. and also I need to hold some back for other reasons.. I wasn't really sure what was expected of me, but under the partial direction of Kesh I took a couple hundred photos, and am happy with the vast majority of 'em...

All the girls were lovely, and made my already easy job.. even easier..

Ill Poetic... :)


No elaborate story for this one as I'm tired as fuck... Good artist... Good album... Refreshing sound!

End of Year Shoe Wrap Up (kinda)

I would have made it longer but well everything would have got a little to negative so i kept it short and sweet.

Shoe of the year: Foot PatrolxAdidas Campus

Worst shoe of the year: Nike Sb What the dunk....

Most Under-rated shoe: Nike Talaria Boot, it was underated in 93/94 still was in 07, got a better response but underated nevertheless. Props if you picked it up Tinker killed it .

Most Over rated shoe of the year: anything clyde/maybe the Spiz'ike/what the dunk

Biggest Disappointment: the lack of good affordable shit.


For 2008 do not be dis heartened stick with it for 2008 smells like change. People will stop filtering culture through thier computer screens and get out and do shit. Nike have even made a new shoe! i kid you not, a hybrid but looks nothing like any of the shoes used to make it, its fresh and affordable.

(this is not gospel, just my opinion and im shur many will disagree, but thats how the story goes)

Ungrateful Cunts at Christmas

Now I understand when you're a kid Christmas can seem to be all about presents, getting up at 6am to open you re new console, bike, clothes, games whatever but now we've all grown up why are some people still so ungrateful?

I've spoken to a few people today and all they have done is moan about gifts, moan about stuff they got they don't want or moan about how Christmas is over as soon as you're done opening presents?

I don't wanna sound cheesy here, but all of that stopped a long time ago. It's nice to open that great surprise gift or something you really hoped for but Christmas is all about giving and spending time with family and loved ones oh and the bonus of fine food!

The highlight of my day today have to been the cheer of joy from my Dad when he opened one of his presents from me, and the same with my Mom. Honestly I've never had that reaction before and it was so nice to see the happiness in the two of them. Later on today we went to visit my Nan and Grandad and all of my Mom's family, it was really nice to see everyone together, happy and smiling.

So everyone just appreciate the family you have and the gifts you received, some people are a lot less fortunate!

Paix & Merry Christmas.
