A grand don’t come for free

“Original Pirate Material” by “The Streets” is one of my all time favourite albums (you might know them from the single “Weak become heroes”) … yesterday I found out (a bit late, but hey, I’m always late) that its sequel called “A grand don’t come for free” will be in stores due May 10th.

This got me verrry thrilled so I looked some stuff up…

Will it be any good?

It’s a bit different to “Original Pirate Material”, mind, seeing as how it contains pretty much nothing that you could recognisably call UK garage, and, inevitably, it’s a bit more expensive-sounding, although it’s still recognisably him, and, like its predecessor, it’s a recorded-in-a-bedroom job. However, it’s a lot less lairy, and, best of all, the whole thing works as a complete story, complete with recurring characters and proper continuity and everything. Coo!

BTW : “Days in the life of a Geezer” ( part of bramus.be its title ) actually comes from a song from the “Original Pirate Material” – album

Stuff to think about

Personal website vs. Blogs

Why do we have them? Why do we make them? For fun, that’s basically it … But what is the real difference between a pw and a blog? This for sure aint no blog, as it was never intended too. The stuff I could post here could be 100 times more than it is now, but I just don’t feel like flooding you all with my (uselles) things I encounter … I’ve chosen for this to be a small piece of me, and not me in total. Yes, blogs are very popular nowadays, but what do you get from it?
