It’s been ages since I last did one of these reviews, so here marks the point where I make an effort to get back on these weekly. To make up for the lack of posting I’ve dug out a very regular show.

This week I’m featuring XLR8R - a US-based magazine and website that covers music, culture, style, and technology.

Thought I’d share some nice memories from my recent excursion with you all.

It had been at least a good 8 months since I last visited the Dam.
Far too long, I know…

Having done officially bugger all on my birthday this year, I figured it would be a good time to pay another visit, go on a Steak and Chocomel binge and see some mind blowing gigs @ The Melkweg. And that I did. Continue reading…

This weeks live Blunt Beats radio show sees us getting all misty-eyed again. “Smoking Behind The Bike Sheds” is an evening of music, showcasing some of the stuff (for better or worse) that moulded our musical personalities growing up, and the musical landmarks that helped influence our beat selections in todays day and age.

Joining Blunt Residents Marcus Hurley and Agent M, will be special guest Christafari, with an exclusive set, putting down some of his own musical schooling here at Blunt HQ.

Expect to hear all kinds of sounds from the crew…funk, soul, hip hop, reggae, blues, drum and bass, metal and dub have all made an appearance on this kind of night before. Whatever is chosen for the setlist will certainly be quality. Of that you can be sure….You can probably expect to hear Blunted rants about simpler times with jumpers for goalposts, the scourge of the Common Market, and the price of things nowadays. To be fair, we are all knocking on a bit now!

The Soulfood kitchen is now closed until next time. The Erbalist, Agent M and myself broke out the recipe books and cooked up some al la carte beats for the hip-hop, soul and funk connoisseurs out there.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to bring you Nappa, as he was handed some parental duties at late notice. He has promised to make it down to the next one so watch the schedules for that.
