So the news and the other news

well my mum is leaving town today, shes going to have an operation in the UK (paying through her teeth). Its something thats shes had to push back for a while now but she thinks now the time to do it. You know if it was my body i'll be quick to share info with y'all. Rather glummy blog material and i can't think of any jokes to smooth it over with. its been on my mind for a while but i didn't want to blog about it. i hope this makes it out of the 'create post' page and doesnt end up with my 'war of the sexes?' post and all the other ones i wasn't inspired to finish. i've been feeling rather meh, narfed, kpanshed etc. and I've been out of touch with the world (except u guys of course. KEEP THE BLOG ALIVE! ENTERTAIN ME).

this post was supposed to be called 'the good news and the bad news' until i realized that everything i had to say was a shade of grey and not black and white per se. But if there was good news its that were finally getting some radio play on Raypower 100.5 on Dr. Gees shows (shout out to him- hes played us thrice since saturday without payola) so if u want me to blow and get my own reebok trainers contract, maybe even date beyonce when i retire call them to play it...dreams. We? LMN-3 with our single "lovin' it" (we wrote it b4 the little brother song) and my man Deck featuring yours trully with his single "Origin". My phones been ringing of the hook since then but its mostly flashing, so i guess we still ain't shit. the fucked up thing is that i'm not hyped about it and its like i'm letting my peeps down cause i'm usually the one thats hyped about stuff.
You can check out the joints on www.soundclick.com/illalliance (shout out to c0dec for keeping the link alive) just click on music (boring bio- i wrote it, i know). the songs are there somewhere but those are rough mixes i'll hook u guys up with the real stuff soon. i'm on 2nd verses on both songs(i.e I ride shotgun in a street car named desire- Lovin' it. You can cry me a river, I'll build a bridge over it- Origin). You can check out our other shit if u promise not to laugh. Peace.

One of Hiphops Faces

Slug of Atmosphere, with production partner Ant, crafted one of the best hiphop (not rap) albums of 2005 ("You can't imagine how much fun we're having").

note: this is not a lame excuse for a blog post...not really...Who reads the bloody small-print? Idon't!

The 3rd verse from "little man" is the verse that put slug on my top10 list:
Dear Sean, What's goin' on? Not much to say
Just checking in with you, trying to see what's wrong today
I know there's gotta be something kicking your bruises
How's the love? How's the music? How's the self-abusiveness?
Got a lot to lose, it's breakin' your shoulders
So you let your paranoia place your bets for you
Too many cigarettes, messin' up your voice
Too many arguments, tryin' to test your poise
The only women that love you are fans and family
Mom has no choice, but fans leave you randomly
No heavy rotation in any location
You're not ready to face that you have no steady vocation
Plus you're gettin' old, your raps are exhausted
Stop it, everybody knows that you've lost it
Singin' for these kids you don't know
When you should be at home with your own,
instead you're on your telephone
Fightin' with your girl like it's you against the world
Another drunk hotel bedroom corner,
curled up like a naked fetus
Come and save him Jesus
Place him back in time before the Reaganomics and Adidas
Sometimes you're not impressed with the work you've done
And love isn't love if you didn't hurt someone
Your son says, "Hi dad."
Your dad says, "Whats up?"
And me, I wanna thank you, but I won't,
I'll just say, "Good luck."

-Slug (aka Sean Daley)
I know its still not a blog!
