UK FILM: ANUVAHOOD REVIEW

March 19, 2011

Over a year ago actor/writer/director Adam Deacon tweeted that he was working diligently on his first film script (Anuvahood) and I was instantly intrigued. What sort of script would the star of Kidulthood and Adulthood produce, and more importantly would the end result just end up going straight to DVD? Long before the cast and crew had been hired and long before the director screamed “QUIET ON SET PLEASE! ACTION!” Deacon’s supporters online were already hyping up Anuvahood like it was the […]

QUOTE OF THE DAY: UK BLOGGER MISS LALA TALKS “TEAM UK”

March 17, 2011

I don’t shout “Team UK”, because it’s a fallacy! As I have said many times before, I support good music. Just because you and I share the same colour passport, that does not mean that you have a right to my money. I will not be buying your music if I think it’s sh*t.  I will not be bullied or made to support music that is burning my ears. Music I believe to be soulless will not be getting my support. Team […]

UK MUSIC: AYO FT ALEX MARTIN – ‘MIRACLE’

March 16, 2011

Check out rapper Ayo’s new single Miracle featuring new vocalist Alex Martin. Miracle will be released on the 15 May. I thought auto-tune had more or less been laid to rest but no it’s still alive and kicking! There is nothing original about this track. We’ve heard this kind of song before. But Miracle will get the air play and may become a chart hit because this type of sound is all the rage now.   Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

She also confirmed that the event will be held in Glasgow in 2013, and on it’s the 20th anniversary in 2015. I think that this is a good move. When they held the 2009 event in Glasgow it was a huge success. The show was well organised and the audience was hyped up and lively. But last year’s event in […]

UK NEWS: INBETWEENERS WRITERS ‘INTERESTED IN CREATING SITCOM STARRING DIZZEE RASCAL’….

March 16, 2011

Pop Dash reports that writers from the hit Channel 4 show the Inbetweeners have expressed interest in writing a new comedy series starring Dizzee Rascal. A “source” apparently told tabloid rag The Sun (who seem to be huge “supporters” of any and everything “URBAN” these days) Damon and Iain like the idea of making a funny show about a rapper. Urban artists are usually portrayed in negative or bleak circumstances but they want to do something different. Dizzee is a big personality with loads of charisma and […]
