Fucking Great Music

Well a fan has just informed me of a singer called selah sue....
Well this is why i love music... such a raw young talent... and she inspires me to come out to europe...
No offence England, and this is not a complete generalisation because some of us really do get it......
but out in europe they don't associate reggae/ska music with "sitting sown and smokin a spliff mun"
They associate it with Dancing, Dancehall, Ragga, And dubstep/ club culture... which means they associate it with partying... which means they REALLY appreciate the skankers.. which means twice as many people travel miles to see reggae influenced acts play all over Europe, which means its a part of culture (i will add it is meant to be/ supposedly is a HUGE part of British culture - but we are more interested in reliving the 80's at the moment... only with plant food and superheroes.... instead of cocaine and Bowie) which means that WATP are really being idiots not playing out in Europe....

So i just wanted to let you all know we are working arranging a tour asap... the album will be available very soon and we will be playing shows in Europe because... well we would just be idiots not to!!!

Anyway....

My favourite song in the world is "Chances are" by Bob Marley.....

It has this sense of longing that matches my head... longing to play to all the people who send me messages saying they appreciate my music... and a longing to travel the world and watch people sing back to me with the same look on their face as me... those moments when we are all in each others heads.. they are the best moments in the world...

Chances are what keeps me going...
I may have the chance to play to you one day again....
I may have the chance to speak reality.
I may have the chance to love..
I may have the chance to die a happy man...
i amy have the chance to build my own house..
I may have the chance to write a song which changes the mood..
I may have a chance to have lots of children and watch them grow...
Who the fuck knows...

But i am going to CREATE a chance to come out to Europe and play... because thats right at the front of my head at the moment..
i really do love you....

  2. I love selah sue too ! I don't know what it is about her but her music has a soul (kind of like yours by the way) which is kind of surprising as i am usually more into the indie rock kind of music !
