Music....Back for the 3rd time


Hey! After a hectic schedule I thought I'd give you all an update on the music scene.
First of all big news. Jagged Edge have been dropped by the record label Sony/BMG since Sony decided to break up its Sony Urban division. Well maybe this is not BIG news seeing as Jagged Edge haven't had a hit since... well I can't even remember but it has been a slow news week so this is the biggest news of the week. I'm sure they'll get picked up by someone but saying that their last album entitled Jagged Edge was a major let down. Their style hasn't changed in years and frankly I'm bored of it and maybe Sony are too.

Following these lines it seems that one of my favourite music groups 112 are 1 man down. Daron who sings about half of the leads on all their albums has decided to make it on his own. Whether the other 3 members Slim, Mike and Q decide to continue as a group remains to be seen but they are all currently releasing their own material as well. This is a major shame as I think that their music is really good even though most people wouldn't agree. 2 of their albums, Room 112 & Part III, made an appearance in my Critical List found at the bottom of this page and saying that Part III may be my favourite ever album. Why don't you show me your opinion on the following question;


What would be worse? No more...
112
Jagged Edge



I will soon be reviewing Brian Mcknight's new album Ten as well as Mos Def's new album True Magic so be sure to look out for that

Also another reminder to check out the music player found at the bottom of this page (the grey box between The Critical List and the web page counter)

Kickz!

Hello again people!
Being a fan of trainers I thoguht I'd show you all some that should be available soon as well as some limited edition ones. I'm constantly trying to increase my collection but being a student that ain't easy. As it stands I have 13 pairs but then saying that I probably only wear about 5 of them regularly. The next pair I'm looking to get are the Air Force 1 in black and university blue thats featured in the slide show below or maybe get my friend to customise my own Air Forces.



Here is a selection of new trainers that should be available soon. First up we have the some white Air Force 1's which feature a crocodile print. The second image just shows limited edition Sony Playstation Air Forces which has been produced as a result of the release of the PS3 (good move Sony but these trainers are soooooo ugly!). Next up we have the AF1's in black with a touch of university blue. I don't know why but I quite like these even though the blue is a bit too bright for my liking. The next pic isn't exactly a trainer more an award that was presented to Damon Dash for his affiliation with Pro Keds. The idea to have a trainer with that many diamonds seems a bit silly but as an award I'd say its one of the most original I've seen. Finally, the signiture trainer of basketball phenom Lebron James. His last signiture shoe had at least 10 different colors and it looks like these new ones will surpass that. The basketball season has just started and I've already seen 4 different colors of these trainers. These are the all-star version of his trainers.
