TAKURA’S STAGE DIVE
So there I was with Annie Mac, Grimmy, Sara Cox, Takura (Chase & Status’ guest vocalist…get to know!) & MissusJam at the side of the outdoor stage while Chase & Status were absolutely killing it with their set at Radio 1′s Big Weekend in Swindon and the urge takes me to film the crowd on my phone who are going BONKERS to Chase & Status’ “Pieces” when Takura decides this is his chance to stage dive:
BASHY – WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE (VIDEO)
The Bashy former world exclusive on my Radio 1 show now has a video:
Shouts to Bish Bash Bosh, Toddla T on the beat, Des, George, CJ and the GGI familia. This tracks is HUGE – any DJ’s who aren’t playing it are waste. Simple as.
Can’t wait to see his performance at Radio 1′s Big Weekend this year during my set on the outdoor stage.
CIARA IS TAUGHT THE MIGRAINE SKANK (VIDEO)
R&B superstar Ciara passed by Radio 1 & 1Xtra towers today to promote her new single with Justin Timberlake (“Love, Sex, Magic” – very sick song, AMAZING video!) and before she went to do Ace & Vis’ show on 1Xtra, I got a chance to interview her for my BBC Radio 1 show.
She was really nice & genuine and gave some great answers to my questions (you can hear the interview on my BBC Radio 1 show next week); and as Gracious ‘Nappa Man’ K was also in the studio, I took the opportunity to teach her the skank that is taking over the UK and introduce her to The Migraine Skank:
So there you have it – she may be cavorting with Justin Timberlake in her new video but Ciara can get down with the UK flavours too! Wonder if she’ll be doing it in her next video?
UPDATE: Ciara seems to be so taken by the skank, she twittered about it too!
BASHY x TODDLA T – MILLIONAIRE **EXCLUSIVE**
Were you listening to my Radio 1 show over the weekend? If not, you missed an interesting interview with Flo Rida (put it this way, he sounds like he’s not the sharpest tool in the box) and the WORLD EXCLUSIVE premiere of the brand new Bashy record “Millionaire” aka “Who Want’s To Be A Millionaire” produced by Sheffield bashment/hiphop/bassline/funky/electro don dada Toddla T.
Bashy also set the mission mixpossible challenge and then had the cheek to say I nearly failed when I clearly bodied it – check it all on the iPlayer here but if you can’t be bothered to hear the whole show (and you really are missing out)…

T2 – JAM SESSION
Last week on 1Xtra, my monthly live music session from the legendary Maida Vale studios came from Leeds’ bassline don T2 who took the chance to showcase some of his brand new material forthcoming on his own label ‘Powerhouse Records’.
He was joined by the UK legend who is Michelle Escoffery (who is also the featured vocalist on his current single “Come Over”) and future star H-Boogie.Â
I’ve been telling people for years about H Boogie ever since I saw her singing backup for older sister Estelle and now it seems she’s ready to step out as her own artist and I for one am very excited to hear what she comes up with. Right now though, it’s all about her two collabos with T2 – “On The Floor” and the track that you can download for free from the 1Xtra site “Better Off As Friends (La La La)”
Check out the video from the session:
SOLDIERS AND TOAST? THE EXPLANATION!
First off, thank you to everyone who’s watched and commented on the ‘Egg Soldiers Beans & Toast’ parody video. Due to overwhelming demand, we’re looking into getting it available as a free download from the Radio 1 website – or a charity download for Comic Relief.
Thanks to those people who have noticed I’ve lost weight too – working hard at it at the moment. I’ve already lost a fair amount (and brought my BMI down significantly) but I’m still nowhere near my target weight for my wedding this summer. If you’re overweight too, watch out for the ‘Wedding Body Plan’ workout DVD with me in 2011!
The reason for this post is to answer all those critics who seem to have a problem with the chorus mentioning two types of toasted bread – one simply being toasted bread cut into strips. To answer your comments:
-
- Yes, I know that soldiers are made out of bread.
- Soldiers sounds very similar to shoulders which is why we used it.
- No, bacon or sausage wouldn’t have worked better there.
- If you toast 2 pieces of bread, you would simply cut one up into soldiers to dip into your egg yolk and the other would remain intact to hold your beans on top.
- Yes, you’re reading far too much into it – IT’S A PARODY!
