K'Naan & manager attacked & Arrested

2006-04-20T13:08:00.000-04:00

I read this and i was in shock .. people claim to be to civilized yet they basturds in the end.
"Show-Goers, Promoters, Bands, Booking Agents, Managers
The Tradgarn venue and Swedish Security in Gottenberg have been responsible for racially assaulting an International Touring Band. Here are some of the reasons why you should boycott this venue and enforce a firing of the swedish "security" guards:

On the evening of March 14th, 2006, Somali/Canadian recording artist, K’naan, and his manager, Sol Guy, were physically attacked by security guards working for the Tradgarn venue in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Guy and K’naan are currently on a European tour as the support act for Grammy Award winning reggae star Damian “Jr. Gong" Marley.

1. Having completed the show that evening they were leaving an area of Tradgarn venue when K’naan was shoved out the door by a security guard and told that they had to leave.

2. Confused by the security guard’s actions, Guy replied that they still had equipment and computers in the venue and needed to access another part of the venue in order to gather their things. In an effort to avoid further unprovoked physical assault Guy attempted to walk around the security guard. Rather than act in the professional manner required of his position, the security guard instead chose to rally his colleagues in violence.

3. While K’naan was restrained and assaulted by two security guards, Guy was dragged into a kitchen area by two other security guards and subsequently kicked and punched in the ribs, jaws, head and face.

4. He was then handcuffed and made to lie on a dirty floor littered with bits of glass.

5. The Gothenburg city police were called and upon their arrival took only the security guards statement and then arrested Guy without explaining what it was that he was being charged with.

6. Upon arrival at the police station Guy was strip-searched and incarcerated in a pitch black cell, isolated for approximately three hours before he was allowed to make his statement.

7. Guy remained in custody for approximately six hours in total at which point no charges were filed and he was released. While we are not privy to Swedish law, we view the actions of the Gothenburg police as unjust.

We feel that the action of the security guards of Tradgarn venue were not only unprofessional, arrogant and unjustifiably violent but also racist in nature. Guy and company were not random crowd-goers but performing artists contracted to work that evening! The disrespect, violence and racism demonstrated by the security guards of the venue can at no point be justified.

We call for the termination of the employees in question and for the boycott of future use of the venue. Our experience at Tradgarn was undignified and scarring and we will not silently endure this kind of injustice, lest the next brother that comes along endure such obvious hatred.

Of course, some of the very large national touring acts can afford to put up with the racist acts of the Tradgarn; still, most of the bands, concert goers, managers, and decent human beings would benefit by boycotting the Tradgarn and playing different venues.

If the undersigned would please leave comments of personal anecdotes and observations of the Tradgarn (must be personal or factual, please don't say rumors).
Thank you,
one love

Sincerely,

The Undersigned"

Coup D'Etat

2006-04-19T17:19:00.000-04:00

i stumbled apon this company from other blogs, but there designs were really nice so i ma shout them out. Here is sum info from the site "coup d'etat, BROOKLYN is a graphically bold design company based in Bed-Stuy whose philosophy follows one rule: "live to change something." coup d'etat's Founders, Daoud Abeid & Rasu Jilani, founded the t-shirt line to manifest visual ideas and a life philosophy into eye catching designs that people, no matter their creed, can feel. coup d' etat aspires to connect the hero, the revolutionary, the truth-seeker, and the fashionista. Understanding that these aspects usually reside in one’s self, coup d' etat makes its clients comfortable with relating to visionary ideals while displaying one's inner fresh and sexy. "We decided to make shirts that we would want to wear, hence the name coup d'etat means take over of state in french. "Live to change something" reflects the way we live our lives. Life is a blessing that we believe should be used." Abeid abstracts iconic images to express he and Jilani's personal taste, and style aesthetic. "A lot of people use iconic images. We also want to focus on style, expression, and color to the same extreme. The imagery will continue to represent change, people and ideas that shake the norm, but are revered by revolutionaries and trendsetters alike." Abeid and Jilani began laying the foundation for the designer line in 2003. There designs can now be found in boutiques on the east and west coasts as well as in Tokyo and Paris. coup d’etat will features limited editions of their designs for the clientele who desire exclusivity. Their "The Greatest" t-shirt (featured was featured in (Complex Magazine's in november 2005) Look for coup d'etat's in Pieces of Brooklyn and Harlem, 1Race and Addy & Ferro in Brooklyn, Goliath in Harlem, Union and Stackhouse in SoHo, Balboa in Atlanta,shop ombe in So. Orange NJ, Ubiq in Philly, Softcore in Chicago ,French Trotters in Paris and Prohibit in SoHo and Tokyo. There are those who do and those who don't. Who do you want to be?" This was taken from there my space. There site is www.cdtbk.com

Milan Derby 264th Edition!!!

2006-04-13T20:45:00.000-04:00

Almost 4000+ miles away and it's this event that gets me hype. The team I support is Inter and am a 100% Tifosi. The reason why is...

"In the early 20th century, the Milan Cricket and Football Club didn't accept non-Italians as members. So in 1908 a group of unhappy Swiss players and some Italian rebels formed their own side. They named it Internazionale to celebrate its multinational character. Thus the nickname "Inter." The MCFC would go on to become their bitter modern rivals, AC Milan."

Inter is sick but seems to be stuck with bad luck, it's like the more things change for the club the more they stay same. As some of you know from the movies like "football factory" and "green street" Futbol teams all have hardcore followings. Even teams in japan and korea do.Did i mention i want to make a Toronto Lynx Firm? ahahhaaah... ok but still Inter fans are pretty hardcore. This video shows the Ultras at the now infamous Euro derby.
"In Dida Face or Shoulder"

now on to sumthing less funny/tragic .. This was the Sickest Derby i have seen last falls. Adriano scores the winner.

Look @ this clip ! Adam u will laugh ur ass off.Those people who kno me Can imagine me doing the same thing,

Now this match is only 1.5 hr out of my study schule but if the result goes stupid AC's way .. mad disapointment but still life goes on

No this artist isnt a ol dirty basturd or jewelry obsessed ass hole. His album came out in late 2005 which wasnt too long ago. More of a backpacker but thats better IMO. Yes this song is probably melo and not crazy crunk shit but still give credit where its due. Dont you hate it when people say "ohh this is too meloo" & "what the hell is this? Why are the lyrics actually sense" & "why this so slow". those examples come from a trip i made in frosh week to my buddies uni and one of my friend said those things. 3yr ago damn time flys.Ahh Well if everyone was the same the world would be boring as hell, well hell is prolly hot, you kno what i mean. still if you like this track get the album called Love Life? ..(which i am planning todo). and trust me you cant find the whole thing else where

Laffy Taffy?

2006-04-09T00:57:00.000-04:00

The term is from that annoying ass song, that you kno u hate but it stuck in your head. Its such a simple beat and the lyrics so dumb.hahaha it just seems like a joke song to me. What could it be? Booty? Jewels? Money? or maybe even candy? My buddy Hassassin said it was booty but from listening to this pharell song he refers to it as jewels. It is a pretty funny word and its even funnier that people are got mad spins on the radio for this. Soo i guess we should just use for everything & even mix it up a bit. Like this example
Pharell song click HERE

Fozzy - "pop eyes is that laffy taffy shit"
Anh - "Get my laffy taffy on"
Kirtan - "I got taffy like laffy last night"

Leave a comment if you have another version of the meaning.
