Durrty Doogz-Can't Hold Me Down
Removed

Seems like this lot are going to be the next ones to bolt from the underground eski/grime stable into the mainstream, they were one of the acts on the bill at the Urban Music Festival and according to reports went down pretty well with the crowd. You can watch a video here and you should check out the whole of One Xtra if you enjoy this. This track has influences of dancehall and that's something that seems to be evident across the scene as I mentioned in a previous post. The great thing about grime/eski or Wot D U Call It? is that the raw beats and sounds are often complimented by an MC's playful vocals and manipulation of voice, coupled with slice of life commentary it's interesting, if nothing else, to listen to.

Right, I don't care, I'm posting this because it's due a comeback and you can all laugh at me from behind your computer screens if you must.


Elsewhere Rock 'n' Roll in the Real World is an indie blog that recently started posting Mp3's.

Also I've updated the links, so click away....(well, not away, y'know come back too)

Thanks for the tracks (except for anything by Kim Carnes, I'm not thankful for "Bette Davis Eyes," I ahve to admit)... and thanks for the heads up n Elsewhere Rock 'n' Roll in the Real World.

Hey - my guilty sin is Jane Child, "Don't Wanna Fall In Love". I think it's an almost perfect pop song.

But cheezy as hell.

bette davis eyes is my number one karaoke song. if you can't hold a note, carry a tune or hit a key, you can still sound totally hott while singing this song. especially if you smoke a lot and drink a whole heap o' whiskey beforehand.

i got here via the flavourpill writer update email, and now i see you have my friend matt moebius rex over there in your links column. small internet!
