well done to The Enfield Advertiser for actually publishing my bizarre Die Antwoord article, it is in this weeks edition and can also be viewed online (page 26)

and a great choice of picture for it too, i didn't realy think this article would be up their street but they've stuck their neck out, good on em

on the subject of music journalism, i was out in Camden at Frank Turner's sell-out Roundhouse gig for glasswerk that i had got a call about earlier in the day saying they had managed to wrangle me a plus one.

yeah, get me, blagging a plus one into a sold out gig! not bad eh? i feel like a real journalist, and it was a bloody good gig too.

so i've been busy wrapping that up for submition, and if you check back tomorrow i shall be posting up my article of last week's Sel-Out gig ahead of it's publication in the paper.

edit: since i've got this soundcloud thing going on, why waste an oppurtunity to listen to Enter The Ninja again

Die Antwoord - Enter the Ninja stream

the answer

another article that i decided to write for The Enfield Advertiser after getting thoroughly excited about discovering a new band, followed by the bitter taste of hindsight.

i don't know if the Advertiser will have the balls to print this, but i also submitted it to Glasswerk who i am considering renewing my journalistic 'career' with...




if Richard D. James ever had a nightmare about Aqua and Vanilla Ice after gorging himself on cheese all evening and watching District 9, it would be just like this.

as comparisons make easy reference for the uninitiated to understand an unheard musical artist, this is perhaps by far the weirdest yet. but when you have seen and heard the band you will truly understand.
