Stones Throw tour pt 2

read part one first!!!!!!

OK so it would seem that I couldnt put any more pictures in the last post so heres the rest

so, Madlib was cool, would have been nice if he played for a bit longer but its all good, it was just nice to see my favouritist producer and prob just one of my fave hip hop artists in the flesh live and direct

"do you know what live and direct means?"

"live and direct"

OK so heres a picture with the flash on, doesnt look as cool and arty but ill just chuck it in for variety. next on was Egon, he was possibly the unexpected highlight. He basically played a whole lotta shit that probably hardly anybody woulda heard before. He started off by playing all this music that I thought was bhangra later to find out that it was Turkish music (I think Egon is Turkish) and it was totally badass, that shit has the baddest basslines and drums and just the tempo and beat you cant help but wiggle you hips like youre in a bollywood movie (even though it was Turkish), pretty much as soon as Madlib finished a shitload of people left so there was heaps more room too which ws nice, although i dont think the Japanese people really got the whole world music styles and not many people were dancing. Next up he went to Italy and played this Funk track from 1974(?) which is sampled on a DJ Shadow track, which was very cool and he played a few more Italian funk songs. I never knew that Italy had funk bands! Then he played this old funk track by this Jpanese band which had THE BADDEST MOST RAWEST BREAK EVER!!! Seriously the drums were so hard and ruff and just totally mad everyone go ohhhhhh!!!!! I have to find out who it was by. Then he went back to Turkey and played some Turkish funk songs which were pretty mean also.

Then that was the end of stones throw so i just hung out and waited till it was time for the first train, started walking from Tenjin to hakata station at about 3*30am at a leisuely pace, got to the station at about 4*15am with just enough time to get a cup noodle and hang out with the homeless people before catching the 4*53 train back to Akama.

I gotta say, theres something quite nice and peaceful about walking around a city at 4 in the morning completly sober by yourself, i think ill do it more often, who says going out by yourself is boring!!! (maybe a little lame but oh well thats me).
