Ketamine is a drug used in human and veterinary medicine developed by Parke-Davis (today a part of Pfizer) in 1962. Its hydrochloride salt is sold as Ketanest, Ketaset, and Ketalar. Pharmacologically, ketamine is classified as an NMDA receptor antagonist,[2] and at high, fully anesthetic level doses, ketamine has also been found to bind to opioid μ receptors and sigma receptors.[3] Like other drugs of this class such as tiletamine and phencyclidine (PCP), it induces a state referred to as "dissociative anesthesia"[4] and is used as a recreational drug.

Gavin Watson - Skins + Punks
Skins & Punks
5th – 14th December.
Newburgh Quarter, Carnaby, 3 Lowndes Court , off Carnaby Street, W1. Free entry open 11am – 7pm daily.
Photographer Gavin Watson’s images are a unique social history of a special time, Skins & Punks, The Lost Archives 1978 – 1985 draws on a gritty reportage style which has now become hugely recognisable in photography but was ahead of it’s time in 1978.
“Carnaby Street was probably the most important street in London for us out of town boys, we would save up and get the train down and head straight for Carnaby. In fact without Carnaby Street and shops like Sherrys, Merc and The Face , I don’t know if skinheads and mods would have lasted as long as they have. It is great for me to be back in Carnaby with this exhibition, to come full circle.”
Each of the photographs capture the day to day lives of a collection of characters who Gavin grew up with including his younger brother Nev, which he has now brought together in this exhibition. To get your hands on a signed copy of the new book plus limited prints from Gavin's archive click the image or here

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."
