Anybody?…
I love and miss you so much!
I got an email through the other day, and this game really made me giggle. Finale is an emcee from Detroit, and you might have caught him last week at Deviation. His latest LP, A Pipe Dream And A Promise, includes productions from J Dilla as well as Flying Lotus, Oddisee, and Black Milk (to name a few). The game above is called Super Finale, and it gives you a chance to win the track “One Man Show” off his album. Even if you’re not into hiphop, it is a funny little way to start your morning with.
As for me, I should get ready for work. By the looks of it, no sunshine today either. But I guess that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Oh and if you’re out and about in London tonight, make sure you check this out tonight in Shoreditch
You’re chance to experience some fresh sounds from Alexander Nut, Floating Points & vocals from (queen!) Fatima and Cooly G plus others @ The Macbeth, 70 Hoxton Street, LDN! You don’t wanna miss out. And I’m gonna be late, so Im off. Have a nice day peeps! x
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!
Makes me miss Malmö.

I think this heat is messing with my head and playing tricks on my mind. Or at least I’d like to blame it on that, it would make more sense, because the thoughts in my head aren’t making much sense at all at the moment. I need to cool down, I need something to cool my heart down, make it cold as stone, at least then it would be less breakable. But until I can achieve this level of coolness, I’ll just lie in my bed and listen to Al Green. Because just like the song, in my head, you’re just simply beautiful… (God I love that song)
This made me giggle and remember the good ol’ days at Brownswood. A typical “Gilles Moment” haha. Thanks to Lefto who recorded and posted it on the Brownswood blog! Totally made my morning. (And I agree, Off The Wall is the best MJ album, been listening to it all morning)
I have been working in the Shoreditch are for almost 10 months now. As some of you might know (and agree/disagree with), it is kind of one of the (many?) “hip & trendy” places in London. 90% of the people you see around here look like they were taken from some kind of magazine, styled to the bone but (trying to) making it look like it is so effortless and that they just woke up and looked like that in the morning.
Now we all know that I am not the girliest of girls, and Im sure as hell not one of the trendiest, or prettiest, or thinnest of girls either. And as stupid and ridiculous as it might sound, being surrounded by all these people, especially some of the girls who give you that “oh my god the way you look makes me feel sick” stare when you pass them is really starting to get to me.
I had a very set and pre-made-up conception about this area before I started working here, and during the 3 years I had been in London for, I think I had come down to this area twice. Now that I have been here for a while, I have to admit that there are some pretty cool places around here. However, I still cant help feeling slightly out of place.
Every time I come to work, I get more and more self conscious about the way I look and what clothes I wear. I think I need to go on the Shoreditch diet, dont eat for like 4 months, lose like 10000 pounds, and spend my saved up food money on second hand/Brick Lane market/designer clothes, whilst practising that stare in the mirror, and who knows, maybe I’ll fit in here around Christmas time.
Just some random thought…
I didn’t want to leave the Hobnob hanging, so here is a more “perfected” look by moi!
I bet you'd be scared if you saw me walking down the street
I just got this via email and it made me giggle (or actually, laugh out loud).
Rob tha Hob tha Gangsta (knob? HAHA!)
