STRANGERS IN TOWN

 Ok its been a peak week but the sun is still out so we wicked-land as ever. here is the scoop.

I feel so bad for muslim women. like i fully get that the whole burka thing is part of who they are, and it is all they have ever known, and it is their culture, but we all know how hot it was been this week. poor bastards. the mandem get a nice deal thought, wearing that really light, thin, white table cloth thing.


a nice thought from bradley this week on the twitter.


this upset me. unlike the muslim women she doesn't have to wear these. leather trousers. in this weather. i think as well this was the hottest day in this little spell and she is doing this to herself. oh my god.


i went in to pound land to buy some sweets and saw these wispa golds. four for a pound. since, i have ate 16 of these. the best, literally.


big up susie with the surprise twister lolly in the office. lovely touch. by chance i got surprised with ice lollies in the office 3 days in a row sooooooo


i really liked this little poster regarding what headwear is acceptable in the prison visiting room. wonderful little weird inconsistent selection of illustrations, clip art and photographs.


look at this cool bastard. I'm starting to notice a lot more wicked-landing guys came out with the introduction of sun. casually wearing a straw hat, full suit, bad boy gucci goggles and pinky ring swigging on a diet coke. BADBWOY


have you seen this? gone are the days of headlines stories being kerri katonas fluctuating weight, or how one of the loose women got her new bikini beach bod. now all these magazines want to talk about is rape. rape rape rape. all four of the cover stories have something to do with rape.


obviously it's bede island season, big up everyone passing through. this year it seems like there are far more leicester locals down there rather than student cunts. do you think that is fair? do you agree? we were playing with this american football, it was so fun. darryl found his calling in life, as he can absolutely launch it.


it's called hitching a ride bro, you might want to try and hear of it sometime...


this asian man made me laugh earlier, like he had done something clumsy or stupid. he was just stood on his own like this for ages. just him and the world with only the person on the other end of the phone in existence. 


'are you wearing yours?' 
'yeah man, of course. are you?' 
'yeah man! see you there!'

the pink polo brigade were at it again too.


so that's just a short wicked-land really, thats what we do around here. ill be doing some drawings soon, so ill post up some stuff. until then don't accidentally die, because then i won't get as many hits. thank you for reading.

SUN IS BACK BAYBAAAAY!

yooooooooo, at last the sun is fully out! but with that so are the pasty white pigeon chested tramps in town. i spoke to tom yesterday about it, and I'm the type to get my top off if the sun is out, but I'm talking on a park. not walking through town.

speaking of being in town i saw this old bloke chilling in a superman t-shirt. normal day for him.


ALSO IN TOWN! chunky chicken on grandly street has shut down. the sign on the door said rent arrears. its a shame, they always put a little red onion in the burgers and it made the world of difference. i really enjoyed eating there.


my man was shotting out his mixtape for a quick p. he was with these panpipe goons in town and they were duppying the whole rave. they did this one tune that had like a really slow salsa kind of rhythm and then at about 2 minutes in they dropped some big zumpy bassline from these deep panpipes, me and bradley were going wild.


skanked so hard i ripped my trousers sooooooo


by the way, i forgot to let you lot know; there are no rules on earth anymore. i was in royal chicken the other night and they have that many different posters saying different things and contradicting each other. they can more or less just tell you any price for anything and you can't say anything. pizzas were half price/ 3 for £9.99, buy one get one free and less per inch on a poster outside the door to the one in the bottom left of the picture.


man quickly hit it up though. £3 for 12 inches is a bargain stilllllll


the champions league final was at the weekend, and chelsea beat bayern munich against the odds to win the trophy. george (the chelsea fan) was very tense as the game went to penalties, drogba killed it and it rounded off a shit season from my point of view, seeing fernando torres truly happy lifting the trophy.


THE SUN CAME OUT ON MONDAY DIDNT IT?! look at this bloke, enjoying a can of stella on the road and wearing a t-shirt that reads 'doggystyle - the bitches love me.' big up humans.


sun and muscle gang were on this ting in town.


later i seen these guys down narborough road loading loads of massive flat screen TVs into the back of a van. i tried to get a better photo but they were pure watching me haha


i took recommendation on a new melt at croques. it was a piri piri chicken thing, with chilli jam and mozzarella. although it was delicious because it always standardly is, it was weird. wether it is because I'm so used to my normal cajun chicken with sour cream and jalapeños order but it just didn't do it for me. i think the chilli jam over powered everything else, and because of that it was a little bland.

i think i talk about jalapeños in every post now.


it was roasting yesterday. I'm talking hot hot hot hot. this guy made his choice for the day with his coat. and then when he was in the city centre, just sat there, he didn't think to take it off and chill for a bit, no no no, the coat stays on.


'hiya mate, can we just have a quick word please? yeah sorry mate, obviously you know what its going to be about. you are just too ginger. you know, we don't want an issue, you don't want an issue, but you have to think there is a lot of people in the city centre today, obviously the sun is out and frankly they don't need to see it.'

'so if you could just put a hat on please and make your way out of the city centre because their have been reports of people violently vomiting on sight and nobody deserves to vomit when the weather is like this. alright? thanks mate, cheers.'


i hope this weather stay forever and lifts every bodies mood and everyone gets a tan and girls continue to wear less. thanks for reading, you are the best humans.

INK SPLODGES AND PILOT V5'S

I'm trying. I listen to Static Age by the Misfits and I can't explain how I feel. Such special, enigmatic, wonderful music. They would be my time machine band. 








i played this song to my dad and he really liked it.

SHALLOW TRUTH EP



So MK (Of the BLG collective) and Nutral released their 'Shallow Truth' Ep this evening, comprising of four hip hop instrumentals.

A very solid piece of productive work from the Leicester chaps opens with 'Pearls of Wisdom', a smooth wake up tune, very dreamy with a lot of atmosphere. It sounds like when you wake up in the summer and eat cereal. I feel this tune typifies the EP in a sense of setting the tempo and the mood.

It progresses with 'Desperado' Using a sample from an old western film and wonky, rattling drums. The instrumental progresses and builds with a rhapsody of atmospheric sounds and noises.

The penultimate tune on EP is entitled 'NightVision'. It starts with a slow swirling synth, and the drums start to creep in. It reminded me of something Roots Manuva might have vocalled around the time of Awfully Deep. In this track around where the chorus might sit there is a nice little breakdown where the drums take a sideline.

Finally the EP climaxes with what I think is the most poignant and rememberable piece of the four, 'Shamen Love'. it starts instantly with a simple drum beat and piano loop, very similar to Dre's production style around 2001. Short after a minute in a nasal synth creeps in and beds perfectly into the tune.

The EP is available for download here and defiantly worth a listen.

don't forget to follow @MK_BLG and @NutralMusic on twitter!

GOOD INTENTIONS, BAD DECISIONS

Soooooo its wicked-land season. do you think we are making break through with the weather? its been a little sunny here and there but nothing unreal. Imagine how depressed the nation would be if we didn't get a summer.

I met up with Dave to chill. we went nandos, i found this little bracelet made out of like telephone wire. it was so fun to fiddle with. after nandos we went to the cinema to see some shit film called silent house. its almost become a tradition that when i go cinema with dave we have to see something shit.

 fuck knows how films like this get funded, honestly, it was shocking. not even the faintest whiff of a storyline. just a meaningless series of events followed by credits. i'd be ashamed to have my name attached to such a crock of shit.


I love TJs supermarket on high street so much. it is definitely the best convince store in leicester, purely for its selection of canned drinks, confectionary and blackfriers flapjacks.


i popped round to see natalie the next day and her housemate sarah had not long got back from mexico. she brought back a load of mexican sweets, and they all in one way or another included a fucking rank ingredient. this thing had the texture of a dried peach, and was really hot, sour and tart. it had chilli in it, but was made out of like a fruit mash. it wasn't one bit enjoyable, shit like this blows my mind.


I drew a mural on natalies board of her being chased off on her bike (before she had her ears pinned back) by a shark with a diamond ring tail piercing. and to think i said recently i was not inspired to draw. HELLOOOOOOO


went to Jake Boz's house party on friday night. bare people passed through, it was good fun. loads of different people that i knew from loads of different places.


'you wouldn't get it mate, you wouldn't get it. until you have seen the struggle of these people first hand you just wouldn't understand. i was out there restoring a well in Uganda before i went on to Sydney and i saw some things that don't dawn on you until you are out there. the poverty of it, its humbling. you wouldn't get it'

jamie's wanker traveller character. 


seen these women coming back from the train station, back from a holiday away. they all had their special t-shirts on with stuff like 'saucy susie' and 'loose louise' on. shit like this is everything that is wrong with this country, i hate shit like this. brits abroad. we were joking saying they were gonna walk all the way from the train station to new parks in there wolf pack complete with there suitcases haha


so the monopoly promotion has ended at mcdonalds, and they are back to doing the great tastes of america. how fucking exciting. every week now, instead of your normal, delicious favourite meal you get the option to choose from four radically different and exciting burgers. 

oh no, wait. that would be too much fun to actually push the boat out and try and do something out of the ordinary. instead they have just gone for exactly the same fucking beef burger with bacon and cheese every week. this shit makes me so mad. by all means, sell a beef burger with cheese, but don't call it something different four weeks in a row and try to tell us its exciting. I've reached the unworldly heights of mcdonalds in poland, i know what the brand is capable of.


to make things worse this guy was just filling his pockets with napkins and straws hahaha FUCK YOUR RULES!


fuck little dickheads like this. 14 year old little wankers all wearing their best red chinos and obey snapbacks because they are so swagged out. they should be out shoplifting and forcing themselves on girls, not doing their best justin beiber impressions.


a load of us went around jimlads on sunday to watch the climax of the premier league. it was phenomenal, pretty sure it was the most exciting neutral fan day in my football watching life, the turn of events were just crazy. jimlad and vanessa made these burgers, and we had absolutely everything on them. lettuce, red onion, mayo, relish, gherkins, jalapeños, bacon, cheese and fried onions. shhhhh about eating food. 


some guy got this tattooed before the title was decided. i bet he is so glad things went the way they did.


lol. jimlad had this little toy, the idea is it gives your hand something to do instead of smoking. it was fun, it all twizzles and bends up.


there was a massive crash near darryls house on narborough road. a car gambled on the amber light and smashed straight into the side of a fire engine that was chipping by. they spent a couple hours cutting the person out of the car wreck and carried him away on a stretcher with a neck brace. the car was fuuuucked too.


LOL'D my ankle at football on monday night. big up swelling. honestly yesterday it was so so fat, there was no definition between my foot and my leg.


made this ridiculously nice pasta with bits of sausage in it and loads of jalapeños. they are like my new favourite food, honestly i cannot get enough of them. it had a bunch of other really nice stuff in too.


so i went to see kyle miller at his workplace, just round the back of the font yesterday to film a little freestyle promo video with twisted pennys for a night we are doing there. a little hip hop thing. the room we shot the video in is incredible, no end of interesting stuff everywhere. i wanna go and do a blog post, something like '30 things in this room that are good'


the video should be out soon and the night is at the font on the 26th.


thanks for reading guys, chat to you laterrrrr
