Hi TOm,
i can't find any info on your label or yourself on the internet - not even myspace.
perhaps you need to build a profile somewhere so we all know how serious you really are.
thanks,
Jody
just for the record. Trillion Band opened for SJD at the Dux de Lux in chch on 23rd of Feb 2007.
Your Chance To Challenge Big Brother 'Road Pricing'
'Sarah Kennedy (BBC Radio 2) was on about this proposed car tax scheme on the radio, there is only one month left to register your objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax. The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it.
The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working mother who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month.
On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit in time you can probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your monthly bill.
If you care about our freedom and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website (link below) and pass this on to as many people as possible. Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.'

"A homophobic rapper
Unaware of the
graphic nature of phallic symbols
Tragically ironic,
suckin' off each others' gats & pistols"
[ external link ]
ooops, bad grammer in the above post. it's hard to get an overview of what you've just written when there is such a small window... but i think my angle is clear.
here is an example of good lyrics: he takes the gun/phalis concept in rap and puts a clever twist on it.
Sage Francis - Gunz Yo Lyrics
I'm on fire, i'm on fire
Me too, me too
Guns
yo, i keep one in my pillowcase
It keeps me safe when i
sleep, still i keep awake
What if my dream girl pays a
midnight visit?
I see the world thru the scope but i gain
no insight with it
When i get introspective i put the
safety on
Make these songs
With the biscuit sittin in
my shaky palms
I'm a man now (a real man)
Not the
one who went to two colleges
Grovellin' over meal
plans
I'm starin' at the ceiling fan
All
wide-eyed
Amazed by the ways the blades break the
silence
I used to be afraid of firin'
It sounded
startling
But now i'm starting to hate the quiet
moments
Might remind you of a mike
By the way i hold
it (to the grill)
A homophobic rapper
Unaware of the
graphic nature of phallic symbols
Tragically ironic,
suckin' off each others' gats & pistols
I got
more back issues than guns and ammo
Cuz my uzi weighs a
ton
And i never let go of the handle
Hangin' on
to mommy's pant leg
Double-fistin'
Knee-deep
in shells kickin' ballistics
This dick is a detachable
penis
An extension of my manhood positioned like a fetus
An intravenous hook-up feeds bullets to my magazine
Nevermind the bullocks, my pistol is a sex machine
Guns
yo (sex machine)
Bust it
I got another gun (what)
I keep it in my briefcase
It keeps me safe at my
workplace
Cubicle gangster who's in need of his
personal space
Gangster of love who's unable to look
girls in his face
Cuz i know that all the stupid people
increase the birth rate
I'm just about dumb enough to
hold up a sperm bank
Make my demands and then facilitate
fur trades
Empty the bird cage and release the mermaids
Huh
I got a watergun
I keep it in my mouth
It
keeps me safe from the things i like to speak about
But
words are leakin' out
And all these smiles that i
crack
Are like a dam on the verge of collapse
There
ain't no turnin' back
In fact i can't hold
down my fluids
Can't retract statements
Without
water displacement
Flooded the basement
Then sought
refuge
Removed my waterproof vest and then i kicked off my
wet shoes
Made it to dry land
Pistol in hand
Fistfuls of ammo riding on a camel
Thru a desert of
sand
Lucid dreams are a lot like computer screens
People have pretentious conversations but i shoot the
breeze
Blow a hole straight thru their long-winded
theories
Hold my own and make songs for them to sing with
me
Its the same type of heat that millie used
To break
the ice with santa claus
When she made him sing the
christmas blues
Capitalists strung her up for
killin'em
Every manufactured holiday they sacrifice
another victim
Before wartime depression sets in
I get
to step in
And shoe shine my weapon
I'm
hemorrhoid, i'm the leader
You're dead like dey
la
I hold my crotch like a nine-millimeter
Guns yo
(i'm on fire) (me too)
(nine-millimeter) (sex
machine)
Hi Joanna, to tell you the truth, i am also offended by it.
i was more offended by the original lyrics, and Jet's enjoyment of this repulsive band.
the post was trying to draw out to a debate, the importance of content within music.
i was merely playing the devils advocate.
as far as concious hip hop goes; you've got the wrong person.
concious hip hop is a label which encompasses a load of nonsense posing as deep.
you can find your own example here. one might be People Under the Stairs. or Dialated peoples.
I enjoy music which breaks creative boundarys and creates debate and change.
If the post above changed the way you thought about something in music.
or made you more aware of meanings behind things.
motives behind things. - answer this question: why did bone thugz blah blah ever get so popular with such weird a destructive lyrics? and why is it marketed to children?? would you want your teenage son listening to it? hip hop was hykacked and used as a tool against the people it attracts. commercial black hip hop is americas way of destroying black men. how? they destroy themselves.
but that's another topic for debate....
the artist didnt make a painting out of shit cos he wanted to explore poo as a medium.
he was saying ART IS SHIT. but the viewer couldnt see passed the medium!
i realise that this was a really immature posting,
and i'm no homophobe - heck, i even have gay friends!
but come on guys, has myspace really killed this forum.
it feels like there's no life here anymore. A few expats having a catch up over a cigar,
a few muso types who have the site in thier favourites, and have a read occasionally...
...but never ever comment! - you know who you are -
and that's about it.
it looks like the classifieds section has the most 'action', how lame is that.
have we really exhausted all avenues of discussion?
bring back jesus crux, at least there was something going on!
p.s. Jet: you have bad taste in music! haha
i just found this on the web...
It basically shows that Bone thugs are the worst lyricists on earth!
check out the lyrics and all the double meanings behind them...
no lyrics here are tampered with - only bracket parts have been added.

My thugster brothers ruggish never did take no loss and,
Putting niggas in the coffin,

Senseless killers, Sawed-off haulin off the best of niggas,
And i put to rest them niggas,
Flesh'll test, and i flex on niggas,
Mr. RIP get clip, come and rippin em with the pistol grip,
And if them trip feel the bone, now watch me get fatal with flim,
Now come to the teacher,

Fuck wit a thug, a nigga get drug,
You feelin the stiff from a 38 slug man, (MY HARD COK IS IN YOU)
Lemme see you hang, swang, bang to them brains,
Chain gang,
So a nigga remain insane, maintaining that steady buzz,
You feel the stress, test the best,

Trust that i bust them slugs up,
Runnin up rappin that big shit,
Ending up getting your wig split,
Bitch, dumped in a ditch, (I DON'T LIKE WOMEN)
Never knew no one could fuck wit the bone, its on,
And show the double glock is where the thugstas roam, its on,
So trick that buster, listen,
Better check your ammunition,
Bones' shit be hittin, no competition, leavin em pinched in... (I TAKE IT UP THE BUM)

problem is, it would get abused. and parents would be even more lazy in the knowledge there is free food at school when thier children get there.
bad speller arent i.
a better heading would have been. PIG OUT need to get off the food.
i'm not trying to put a damper on the concept of donating to charities, but when you 'sponsor a child' you arent sponsoring the child directly, you are sponsoring the whole thing - world vision. the child you receive a picture of will be part of the community in which world vision is doing charity work in but will not be directly getting money from you via world vision.
good on those who help the less fortunate - there are plenty of less fortunates here at home, perhaps sometimes we need to look down our street before we send money overseas...
haha.
tim dog, you're a funny guy.
perhaps we need to hang out and wrestle each other.
maybe we can start a radio station. it's not that hard apparently.
if auckland can produce 20 or so small stations in a few years, how
hard can it be?
chch needs a bit of cool radio competition.
you could always go buy the cd. i'm sure don would appreciate it!
trillion band perform a lunchtime gig in cathedral square in christchurch this friday 24th november. 12,15 - 1.15pm
that's right.
this fridAY night (1oth) see Trillion band at the dux de lux in queenstown for a lot of fun.
the fact that it was a highlight to a lot of people is more of a reflaction of how dull the whole thing was generally.
if scribe was being ironic or making a joke of the opposite, he wouldnt have directed the humour at Ahmed, it would have been directed at Labour, Dobbyn, or the court system. or something else.
and yes - he is a big boy.
I think Gibbis means that he/she is slightly racist, not a fan of Dobbyn, possibly a National or Winston Peters voter. And slightly ignorant to the Al Queda situation. Which is, that Al Queda doesn’t exist, it’s a media/government fabrication to point a finder of blame at. Tony Blair even said in a speech once that Al Queda is not a gang or group. Thus, I cannot be part of something which doesn’t exist.
Also FREEDOM of SPEECH. What does that mean to you? Does it mean that it’s okay for you to tell that obese woman in the McDonalds queue that she is fat and should be there, and why doesn’t she go buy some lettuce? Does it mean you should honk your horn and swear at bad asian drivers?
Or is it more in line with having a say in your community? Or telling the factory down the road to stop dumping oil into the river? Or telling the hip hop scene that fake American accents aren’t that cool anymore?
Tell me your definition please?
what I meant was a terrorist shouldnt point the finger, or pass judgement.
does anyone else think scribe showed complete ignorance and arrogance with his Ahmed ZAOUI/ AlQueda dig at the music awards?
interesting behaviour coming from someone who was partly responsible (with a MR PNC) for putting, 1. Mr P. Armstrong in hospital with a broken mouth and causing however many thousands of dollars damage, and months of lost work, and whatever else it caused..
clean up your own backyard before you go knocking on your neighbours door!
now listen here Mark.
I don't mind doing music collaborations with you,
and even helping out with releasing your music... but this time
you have gone a bit far with your association to me! and using my logo to promote your crap!
I had nothing to do with you music video - I don't condone the use of pornographic images, (images of a guy jerking off and pissing on a couch are not funny!) in
a low quality/no standard music video which has no association with me or my label.
please remove the logo from the intro of you clip. or the shit will hit tha fan!

yep, filth. not even worth promoting the mag by talking about it. I've always made a point to never send my cds to them to review, and would turn down any pavement profile/article.
get out your old juicer and make a nice fresh apple, lemon and ginger juice, then go sit in the sun.
follow it by a nice chunk of almond chocolate.
another option is to write a really good sad song, then you realise your brilliance and you can get out your shitty rut by playing it to people...
