Rare chance to see a Polarbear.........
Thursday 27th Nov at the Albany, Douglas Way, Deptford, London SE8 4AG, show starts at 7:30pm, not sure about the price but you can check HERE for info and tickets, here is what they had to say about it -
"If I Cover My Nose You Can't See Me
Funny and compelling, Polarbear is a 21st century wordsmith with his roots in the rhythms of hip hop and his feet firmly on the ground. His first one man show comes fresh from summer success at the South Bank Centre, and features artist Goonism drawing the story on the walls.
Uncover the tale of a 28-year-old man stuck in a job he never wanted and a 10-year-old private detective looking for answers. This is a story about what happens to what we used to want, a unique event fusing spoken word and live visuals."
It will be good and it's the last time he's doing it.

A LESSON WITH COWS!!!
SOCIALISM*
You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour.*
COMMUNISM*
You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.*
FASCISM*
You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.*
NAZISM*
You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.*
BUREAUCRATISM*
You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away...
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM*
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.*
SURREALISM*
You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica
lessons.*
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION*
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped
dead.*
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM*
You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publically listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.*
A FRENCH CORPORATION*
You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.*
A JAPANESE CORPORATION*
You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.*
A GERMAN CORPORATION*
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.*
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION*
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have
lunch.*
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION*
You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.*
A SWISS CORPORATION*
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.*
A CHINESE CORPORATION*
You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.*
AN INDIAN CORPORATION*
You have two cows. You worship them.*
A BRITISH CORPORATION*
You have two cows. Both are mad.*
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION*
You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.*
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION*
You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive...
BROTHERMAN - 'THE DARK'/'THE LIGHT'
"If there is any album that you buy this year, instead of downloading (legally of course), it’s Brotherman’s ‘The Dark / The Light’. The packaging is the most original I’ve seen in UK Hip Hop. The project is a double EP, blessed with beats from first man, chemo, jonnysimps, teajay & Session! 6 tracks on each so effectively it’s a 12 track album on two CDs. Each CD has its own sleeve, they slot together to combine the light and dark inspired artwork and to form one jewel case sized package… argh, you’ll just have to buy it to understand what I mean!
Thankfully, the marketing ploys are thoroughly backed up by the quality of the music. Brotherman has that likeable voice (also possessed by Dr. Syntax and Verb T) and is poetical with his lyrics. He gives a voice to society’s silent and scripts situations confined usually to the psyche.
‘The Dark’ is a 6 track lament with Brotherman’s everyday observations providing fodder for his lyrics. A focus on education and children appears to be the inspiration for these songs as crime of all kinds are discouraged and family values are promoted. Brotherman brings a message of hope to those in difficult situations and opens a window to those who don’t really understand the plight of the ghettos of the UK. The production lifts the poignant subject matter, furthering the feeling of hope.
Some elements of ‘The Light’ set it apart from ‘The Dark’ although it’s really a natural progression of its other half. The production is more upbeat and the introduction, for example, is just straight rap boasting. ‘One I’ is an ode to a life with Hip Hop but ‘Heart of Dem’ returns to analysing today’s youth. ‘Wrong’ pushes the message that relationships need to be worked at, something society needs to heed. ‘Who Knows What’ is the stand out for me, the opening lyrics (ones I’ve already quoted here) are so beautiful and emotive and the growing up theme is done to a T.
‘The Dark / The Light’ is one of the best releases this year and Silent Soundz should be proud to add this to their already quality back catalogue. Everyone from the streets to the Natty-fan-in-Tesco should love this album; let’s hope they get to hear it."

SECOND SON A/W ’08.................
“The Past is So Hot Right Now”
We’ve got to the point where our culture cannibalizes itself for new ideas so fast it’s difficult to keep up. Recycled trends make a comeback before they’ve even gone out of style, and ‘vintage’ just means more than a season old. By next week, yesterday will already be the distant past and tomorrow will be retro. The future is history. The past is so hot right now.
Delivery 1 of the A/W ’08 range consists of graphic tees and sweatshirts alongside an updated version of our Regular selvedge denim (back by popular demand) and the new, slightly slimmer and more tapered Stealth jeans (jet black twill denim with black stitching, hidden rivets and dark buttons offset by the purple Second Son logo backpatch and silver logo top button). More cut ‘n’ sew products will follow later in the season.

Breakfast-time havoc down under..............
CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA (Reuters) - The parents of a 7-year-old boy who broke into an Australian outback zoo and fed a string of small animals to its resident crocodile are likely to be sued after police said the boy was too young to be held responsible.
A turtle, four western blue tongue lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devil lizards and a 1.8 metre (5.9ft) adult female Spencer's goanna were fed or led into the jaws of a 3 metre, 200kg (440lb) saltwater crocodile named "Terry."
Security camera footage at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre showed the smiling youngster also bludgeoning to death a small blue tongue lizard and two more thorny devils during a half-hour of breakfast-time havoc last Wednesday.
"The fact a 7-year-old can wreak so much havoc in such a short time, it's unbelievable. In my day he'd get a big boot up the backside," centre director Rex Neindorf told Reuters by phone.
"Police found him, but in the Northern Territory here he can't be accountable if he's under 10 years of age."
Neindorf said many of the animals fed to the croc were rare or mature and would be difficult to replace.
The boy was unknown at the centre and had "clammed up" when questioned by police on what sparked the rampage, he said.
Neindorf said he was now looking at suing the parents of the pint-sized terror, who could easily have been taken by Terry himself as he fed the croc from a small landing at his enclosure.
"We'll be looking at suing the parents, who were supposedly in control of him at the time," he said.
