14/05/10 - Coffee & Cigarettes w/ GZA, RZA and Bill Murray

Inhale. Exhale. Sip. “Ahhh…”

If your vices include being entertained by the combination of nicotine and caffeine, then you’ll agree that that combo is as entertaining as this one. GZA, RZA and Bill Murray in a segment of Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Coffee & Cigarettes’ (2003). But you don’t need to be an avid Wu listener, or a Mr. Murray fan, or to have seen the entire film, or even smoke and/or drink coffee to enjoy this clip. It’s simply, cool.

10/05/10 - Dangerous New Age Recordings

Now, the reason for this post -

Plan B (album, July 2010 release)

Here’s the press release and a brief history lesson about the the label:

Dangerous New Age Recordings comes straight out of the south coast from Hastings, London, their label was formed by a group of friends who all had the same passion for Drum and bass.

The guys on the label all think its time to give something back to the scene as it has always given them damn good parties and Djing sets. It has also taught them the formula of producing Drum and bass by listening to the way it is made. One thing they would really like to do eventually is bring in new talent to give people a chance to shine within the label. They feel that if it wasn’t for the internet, Aim and MySpace they would maybe not have had the opportunity for people to hear their tunes.

The first ever release was on DJ Phantasys label called Easy Records, with a tune entitled “House of Death” under the name of Half Life. This was the first time any members from Dangerous New Age had ever been put on to vinyl and it was very exciting for them so we say thank you to Dj Phantasy and Easy Records for giving us the first ever realease.

MC Fatman D from NuBreed crew got them better known globally. He has helped them along the way through releasing a track called “Survivors” on his imprint Biological Beats they appreciate it and say thank you.

07/05/10 - Ip Man 2

A while back we blogged about the first movie, Ip Man, that rated highly in my all time favourite marital-arts flicks. Well now the saga continues with much of the same break-your-face action in Ip Man 2. The story migrates to Hong Kong where Grand Master Ip Man, played by action star Donnie Yen, attempts to propagate his dicipline of Wing Chun a form of martial arts, later made famous to the rest of the world by Bruce Lee.

With a lot of marital arts scenes used in blockbuster films these days, it’s always refreshing to enjoy the authentic stuff and none of this replica BS!!

Ip Man 2 is now showing in selected cinemas and you can snap up a DVD of the first Ip Man at your local JB Hi-Fi.
