The Destiny fulfilled… and lovin’ it tour (1)

Somehow I got my hands on 2 front row seats (Block A1, row M) for the Destiny’s Child’s The Destiny fulfilled… and lovin’ it tour at Earl Court on the 3rd June 2005. You can bid for the 2 tickets on ebay.

Music Blogs (0)

Everyday I find that the need to download music from p2p decreases due to the amount of quality online radio stations, however the recent increase in the number of music blog has also provided an opportunity to listen to new and old music alike without worrying about some music authority coming around to Lewisham. Ofcourse the right thing to do after listening to the music, if you do like it is buy it to show your support to the artist. You could imagine my joy when I found Tofuhut ’s long list of MP3 weblogs arranged alphabetically by genre.

A quick look and I found two interesting blogs; honeysoul (also has some radioblogs which includes Maxwell, Dwele, Erykah Badu, Raheem Devaughn and complied jazz collections) and Quietfm.

Often the catch with most of these sites is that the music is only available for a week or so from date of upload.

Nosa’s Mp3 Cut (2)

Nosa is very well known for his interesting open letters and well written prose but he has gone a step further and released his first full music track titled Crying a little. Definitely worth listening to.
