Everybodys favourite Badman Crooner-slash-Gospelsinger Movado just released the officially Video for his Billboard-Monster-Hitsingle “I’m so special” on TJ’s relick of Dave Kellys legendary “Showtime“-Riddim called “Unfinished Business“.
Maybe we’re getting a next dancehall-hype because of that, like a couple of years back when Sean Paul still was hot.
The video is really boring and average for me, but seems like it is well MTV/VIVA/YAVIDO/WHATEVER-compatible.
I personally would wish for that.
For those of you who also reading books instead of just another weblog, I have a simple advice:
Go and buy yourself this book, because you NEED it. Period.
“Beth Lesser’s definitive new study of the 1980s Jamaican Dancehall scene features hundreds of exclusive photographs and accompanying text that captures a vibrant, globally influential and yet rarely documented culture that has been mixing music, fashion and lifestyle with aplomb since its inception. With unprecedented access to the incredibly vibrant music scene during this period, Beth Lesser’s photographs and text are a unique way in to a previously hidden culture.”
For those of you who been curious about Ivory Sound,
and never heard of them before, I have uploaded a 45 Clash of them versus Boom-a-Ranks Sound ,
both hailing from Belgium, from 2006.
(Get it by clicking on the flyer, Audio updated March, the 17th.)
Yesterday Heartbeat Movement from Belgium announced a next clash coming up in June in Groot-Bijgaarden, Belgium, near to Brussels.
They promote this thing at JK Paddestoel as a Part of their monthly Dance called Joyride (where we’ve played also last year).
Ivory Sound from Belgium and
Sting-Like-A-Bee from Germany
will buck up inna Dubplates-Only-Soundwar,
both of them for the first time I think.
Rules goes like this:
“1ST RULE: NO CUSTOMMADE TUNES
SECOND RULE: THE MASSIVE IS THE JUDGE
ROUND 1: 20MIN DUBPLATE (INTRODUCTION ROUND)
ROUND 2: 15MIN DUBPLATE
ROUND 3: 10MIN DUBPLATE
DUB FI DUB:
EVERY SOUND PLAY’S 10 TUNES (FOUNDATION)”
If your flemish is as good as mine, you can read a discussion about this clash on the Beljam Reggae Dancehall Board.
Really looking out for this.
This Friday, the 30th of January, we’re playing alongside our buddies from Mango Tree at their monthly Dance called

People, if you’re near by Erlangen this friday you better show up, cause everytime we’re juggling together it’s pure fiiiire!

Last week, Herbalize-Its own, Sultan, the promoter for the clash, announced to the world that LP International will not taking a part in the War ina East 2009 due to some unknown issues.
You can read the full press release here on DHR.
Good news is that the guys found a next, for me even better, competitor!
Now the big, bad and bold Poison Dart from Tampa will team up with Tek9 against the germans.
No disrespect to LP, but i’m way more interessted to see Poison Dart for the first time live .
And due to the reason that Pretty Rick and Tarantula are one of my favorite mcees out there I’m really excited bout these news.
Anyways, here’s the new flyer:

If your tired of the effin snow just like me , cruise over to the
and apply for 6 month of tanning, sleeping, snorkling, swimming, diving, eating and a little blogging.
If it comes worst you have to clean up the pool, but hey, that’s really worth it.
These Aussies are crazy.
Nuff of you people have asked us why we look so insanely fit, healthy and full of stamina.
So for now, to finish all those rumours you will get the full hundred:
It’s all about the right diet.
Or as some of you may say, ital is vital.
Just found this via Chefkoch:
“…typisch saarländisch ist der aus dem Saargau stammende „Viez“, ein Apfelwein. Auch Obstbrände werden heute noch reichlich gebrannt, der Saarländer trinkt aber ebenso gerne Bier und guten Wein, der an der saarländischen Obermosel angebaut wird.
Lyoner, eine Brühwurst, stammt aus Lyon und hat es im Saarland zum Kultstatus gebracht. Hier heißt die Wurst auch nicht “die” sondern “der” Lyoner. Es geht sogar die Kunde, dass kein “richtiger” Saarländer sein Land ohne einen guten Vorrat an Lyoner verlässt. Nachgeprüft haben wir das aber nicht… Der Begriff “Saarländischer Lyoner” wurde sogar geschützt.
Am Liebsten isst man dazu „Kerschdscher“. Das sind rohe Kartoffelwürfel in heißem Fett gebacken bis sie braune Krusten, eben „Kerschdscher“, haben.
Das Saarländische Nationalgericht ist aber “Dibbelabbes” oder “Dippelappes” – ein Auflauf oder Kuchen, der aus rohen, geriebenen Kartoffeln, Dörrfleisch und Lauch zubereitet wird. „Dibbe“ bedeutet im hochdeutschen Topf. Der „Topfkuchen“ schmeckt am besten mit Apfelmus. Ganz ähnlich wird auch „Schales“ zubereitet. Hier wird der Teig allerdings unter ständigem Wenden in einer Pfanne gebraten.
Zwei weitere Spezialitäten, die als Grundlage denselben Teig haben, sind “Hoorische Knepp“, sprich „Haarige Klöße“, und “Gefillde”, also „gefüllte Klöße“.
Dafür werden zu gleichen Teilen rohe Kartoffeln (geschält, gerieben und fest ausgedrückt) und gekochte Kartoffeln fein zerkleinert. Beide werden vermengt, nach Geschmack gewürzt und zu Klößen geformt. „Gefillde“ bekommen zusätzlich eine Füllung aus Hackfleisch, Leber- oder Blutwurst und Gewürzen. Zu beide Arten von Klößen gibt es eine deftige Speckrahmsoße, evtl. auch. Sauerkraut.
Im Saarland kann man, vor allem im Sommer, oftmals dem „Schwenker“ begegnen. Das ist in der Regel ein selbstgebauter, dreibeiniger Grill, dessen Rost „geschwenkt“ werden kann. Aber auch der Grillmeister wird Schwenker genannt, ebenso wie das darauf zubereitete Fleisch – der köstliche Schwenkbraten bzw. ein Schwenksteak.
Die Saarländer mögen ansonsten gerne Suppen, z.B. Bohnen- oder Kartoffelsuppe, dazu gehört aber unbedingt Kuchen wie der Quetsche- oder Apfelkuchen.”
