Week 31

So it's a new year and a chance for a fresh start! So far this has included conversations with the strangest people on public transport, moving to a student house, dancing around chalk farm at midnight to jew rap and realising that sometimes you just need to admit to yourself you need a change of scenery and get the fuck out of your everyday routine...








Hey Guys!





Harry Potter fanatic gone wrong or great conversation starter? Your choice, but the first 5 people get one of these babies fo free!
Deathly Hallow symbols to carry round with you and show off at every occasion.. yes we are a tad embarrassed about how much time we spent making these but hopefully you will appreciate them...



This week we love...









T. After tracking down Mr Willow Hopson Jones and bribing him with the promise of coffee and cigarettes so that he could answer a few questions about his future projects, I got something even more entertaining than your average interview. I got 3 very intoxicated young men (also a puppet with a hitler moustache and a yoda mask that spoke) explaining to me exactly what it was they wanted to bring to the world, and by god it sounds fun..


So tell us about your record company...

Well we are called BeReady Records, and we want to put music out there, we want to put out good vibrations and organise events so people can express and show their music to everyone..Its more about gigs now rather than owning the music on cds and mp3s.


Where did your idea come from?

We know so many talented people and we wanted to be able to organise events that we all enjoy and would want to go to, and by having these people linked to us made it possible to hold them.



What are your top 4 favourite bands?

That would have to be,
.Red Hot Chili Peppers
.DreadZone
.Bob Marley
and Del Santo.

What genre of music are you looking for?

We are really open to any genre, we dont go for a specific type! We want dubstep, house, minimal, garage, funk, hip hop, indie.. really anything!

What are your typical venues?

Man, its usually mad crazy abandoned buildings, with no electricity, no water but amazing artworks..and fancy dress is mandatory!



What are your projects for both the near and long term future?

Well for short term we're organising the powerfarm festival and we want to set something up in the summer in monaco! Any contrabutions would be amazing! like if you have a sound system strap it onto a bison and send it our way! We also want to have DJ sets at various festivals around the country.

For long term, we hope to just organise raves, a paradise where you can become anyone you want to.. and keeping the fancy dress theme.



Your Top 5 music venues in London?

Definatly Slush, and Fabric does have some pretty good gigs played there.
Another would have to be Brixton Academy, Breaks Pole and we love the music played at protests..not a set venue but the drummers are always amazing


And finally.. what would be your ideal sunday?

.My ideal sunday would be to wake up, in a tent at a music festival and realising it the last day before having to leave and you have no recollection of what the fuck you did.

.I would like a walk on the beach, and to feel the sand in my feet..that kind of baywatch shit..or a king sized bed and a bath.


I have tried to condense the 30 minutes of hilariousness they sent me.. sadly i dont think its possible to appreciate the full joy of it without the puppets.

Local Natives-Gorilla Manor

This is the debut album of this Los Angeles indie rock band. Proud to say it was released in the UK before any other country.
Because this album was self funded by the band you now they went that extra mile. Strong lead guitar and harmonised voices this album is great to listen to after waking up from a well deserved afternoon nap and its just starting to get dark outside.
Check out, Word News, Wide Eyes and Who knows who cares.
Also a fun fact, the album is named Gorilla Manor after the house the band lived in where they wrote most of the album.






Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels-Guy Ritchie

A personal Guy Ritchie favourite, released in 1998. This film follows 5 different groups of criminals in London and how their actions all affect the others after a poker savy lad makes him and his 3 friends in debt to 'Hatchet Harry' a powerful crime lord, and their plans to pay him back, which involves robbing the small gang from the flat next door, unknowingly buying priceless antique rifles on the cheap, stealing ridiculous amount of weed off public school educated growers and trying to sell it back to the original owner, a very angry black ganster with a massive afro. Sounds ridiculous but is fucking entertaining. Especially enjoy Vinnie Jones' debut as an actor, which leads him to having exactly the same role in every film since.
