One of the ends of the earth

I'm rocking the old Afrique Du Sud these days and don't mind reporting to you that this joint is fucking weird. Still, I'm finding some bat fun. There is no shortage of baddies here but they don't really seem to suit my bat-sensibilities. Nobody has fallen into a vat of acid thus rendering them super-evil and kind of powerful but nobody knows what the powers are. Nobody was brought up by horrifying birds (penguins, or otherwise). Nobody is an ex-business colleague hell-bent on on taking the misery of his disformity out on the locals or myself. Nobody is a slinky feee-line temptress with whom I have an alluring-though-forbidden chemical connection. There is a guy who looks like John Astin, though...so...
Anyway, I picked up some South African hip hop that I'll be loading later this week and I'm pleased to say that the shit is tight. Look for P.R.O.K.I.D. and Wikid soon enough. In the meantime, does anyone know of a place (online and free) where I can get a copy of my absolutely flavourite song right now? Gimme a shout in the comments if you can email me Blondie's 'Heart of Glass' and I'll repay the first sender with a decent treat (hint: that I bought today down at the Hatfield market).
Bat-hugs and Bat-kisses,

Coast to Coast


HAHA! Screw you, YSI! We got a new music mule named SendSpace.
Drac and I have a pile of backloaded beauties for you children and have been feeling right rotten about not loading anything nice in a while - then along comes lovely SendSpace. I learned of this from the ever-charming Ketan from the old Harlem River Drive-by (shouts to the Dundas Massive) who has recently uploaded a couple of hours from his unbelievable radio shows on KSCR out in California.

Here's my treat of the week. I picked this up in New York a few weeks ago - I yoinked it from a mixtape that I bought purely for this track. It's from Akon - who has a pretty bizarro musical history, and Styles P.

the track is called Blown Away.

I'll be in South Africa for a month coming up - I have no idea if I'll be Bat-uploading while I'm there but I hope to return with some sweetness from there. Give a shout in the comments if you have any requests.
