This seems to be becoming a little bit of a habit doesn’t it – hope you’re enjoying me excursions into sound. Remember, the only rule is that the tunes has to be new to my ears this week …
Shall we?

Two weeks in a row eh?
Thanks to those of you who made it over to the Old Market Assembly last Friday to watch me support Normanton Street. There are some photos doing the rounds, taken by a nice chap called Nathen Fitchen – if you ‘re after gig photography round Bristol, you should hit him up
Onwards to the tunes!

As some of the more observant you will have noticed from the uptick in activity on the Facebook page over the last 4 months or so – Sherlock rides again!
Thanks to the insistence of a good friend that I ‘played a few tunes’ for her birthday, I’m back into the swing of things and have played more gigs in the last 3 months than I have in the last 3 years – thanks to Chapter One, Shotgun Barbers, The Farm and The Cadbury for letting me inflict my musical tastes on your punters, it’s been brilliant fun and I can’t believe I stopped playing out for so long.
If you fancy seeing me having a funky old time of it, I’m playing The Old Market Assembly in Bristol this Friday supporting Brighton based soul and funkateers Normanton Street from 10pm – pop down and say hello.
Right – onto the tunes!

Mea Culpa, mea culpa mea maxima culpa.
Gosh, that was a long break wasn’t it?
Contrary to popular belief, I haven’t been beamed up by aliens anally probulated and deposited soaked in craft beer in some Somerset field, nor have I run off to Lhasa to learn to learn the nose-flute – life just got in the way (two kids under 4, and moving house will do that …)
Hopefully, now things have calmed down a little, I can get back to bringing you some of the beats and breaks that’ve been new to my ears this week.

Jesus, what happened there?
Can’t believe it’s been almost 6 weeks since I’ve done one of these – for any of you still out there, no I haven’t given up, I’ve just been hectically busy with family life …
Still, at least I’ve had 6 weeks to find some good tracks eh?

Ahhhh, sweet, sweet music – the one thing this week that’s stopping me from shaving my head, climbing the nearest tall building with a high powered rifle and picking off strangers, due to insane levels of work stress …
(and yes, that’s a vague excuse for the brief hiatus in transmission – sorry to those jonesing for their next fix of odd and eclectic beats)
Nevermind, eh?
<uncorks bottle>
ONWARDS!

Manic dash on this week, so the pre-ToT drivel is mercifully short.
We’ve got a fest of hip-hop, with some UK Royalty on mellow hip-hop duty, some slightly more underground beats and a classic from the vaults.
Onwards!
