1:09 PM 8 Mile One of the worst things about the music industry is that there are plenty of poor quality acts that achieve fame and success, whilst lesser known yet better artists are left behind. These things happen. I mean, look at 8 Mile; there are a bunch of talented rappers who dream of fame and fortune, but they're stuck in middle-of-nowhere obscurity. If only someone would give them a chance. Of course, it's not just those across the pond who have a wealth of talent; if you start digging around in London you'll find a veritable mine of rap-a-liciousness. For every Dizzee Rascal, Lady Sovereign and Roots Manuva, there are dozens of rappers who are just itching for their chance to go into the big time. After a night out yesterday, we were lucky enough to bump into a crew called the The Finchley Road Five in, erm, Finchley Road. Quite a coincidence that that's where we met them, and more strange was the fact there were only three of them. Anyway, they were nice enough to put on a rap battle for us: Amazing. REWIND, selcta! Etcetera! Those guys are slicker than an eel in an oil spill! If anyone out there knows any industry types then please let them know about these guys. They could be the next Daphne & Celeste! ----- I got an email from Andi last night (the Englishman in New York). He told me about his bad luck in trying to get tickets to see the Kooks in NY (good news in my opinion, I think they suck). I told him to look out for that utterly utterly utterly AWESOME band Mates of State, as they seemed to play a lot of tour dates State-side. He replied: MoS playing next weekend. get in. tickets booked. i see they playing in London too. will you go? What!!! They're playing London again?!?!? I checked the website and he was only right!! October the 24th at Kings College!! That's right where I work too! In my excitement I booked 3 tickets. Happy. Leave a comment ::

Whoa! I'm not Simon Cowell, but I know talent when I see it.
They're great aren't they? I think the one on the left should wear a Flava Flav syle alarm clock around her neck. "Yeeeeeaaaaaaah boooooooooooyyyyyyy".
