CONE ZERO/BABYLON!
More in-box nonsense:
There's another cool review of Nemonymous 8: Cone Zero over here on the Dreaming of Babylon site...which reminded me what a terrific antho this is. It's slowly been soaking up some great reviews over the last few months - if you haven't got round to buying a copy yet, then you really should do. The authors - incl. myself - will eventually be unmasked later in the spring. Until then, the author identification competition is still running, so you've still got a couple months to win yrself a crisp £50 note by entering....
Meanwhile, the little fella featured on the T-shirt below (focus, fellas, focus...!) slowly inches his way towards global domination:
"It's Just The Dub Talking."
I've got a feeling - call it a hunch, or whatever you like - that you're going to be seeing a lot more of him and his friends later this year. Created by the awesomely talented Doppelganger and, er, myself - he's an oddly poignant symbol of our times lol - the Anti-Hero of Dub that you've all been waiting for. No, really, you have - you just don't know it yet. More info soon (hopefully), but I think you're going to enjoy his 'adventures'. He made my 4-year old daughter laugh out loud and she knows absolutely nothing about the history of UK Urban Bass Music.
In a typically PoMo fashion he's appeared on a T-Shirt first before inevitably colonising other media. Be first on your block to get one; be the envy of yr friends, etc - available here from High Rise Clothing, a sort of weird affiliate or sub-imprint of Bristol's excellent Rooted Records.

Heheheh -- dunno if you know this, but that picture is of my dear friend April, who did the cover for Mar'ah and worked with me on the cover for Church of Mandrax (right now we're starting work on Uneasy Action: the Miniature Operas of Julietta Levana, which is gonna be insane) -- she's a genius. Small world, huh?
Oh, that is just toooooo freaky a coincidence for words! Is this world shrinking at an alarming rate, or is it just me lol.
Hi, April!
Is she into Dubstep/Grime....or old school Dub....or just liked the T-Shirt?
Yes! and yes! and yes!
Note also that another package is on the way as soon as the copies of Mar'ah get to me (so probably next week). Crazy plans afoot!
Cool! Many thanks!
You're up late!
I'll post a link to the FACT piece soon as i can resusitate my scanner and snag some scans of the pre-release CDs you sent me. The piece is still wonky in IE6 (and Firefox too, i see) - they've been having issues w/ new website wh/ they're trying to fix.
