Monday August 27th: Well, my mother always told me there's no point in leaving a job half done, so I was back at Carnival for the Bank Holiday. After leaving my car at the secret Carnival parking spot - I'm not saying where it is, otherwise when I go next year, you would have parked there - I followed the procession round to Wetstbourne Park. Live as ever. I will always appreciate the way people party at Carnival like they don't have to go to work tomorrow. We picked our spot early (Jeneration, once again) and stuck with it. There weren't many incidents today, thankfully - a couple of kids got beside themselves when POW! and Merkle Man were played, but the DJ exercised a little responsibility and handled that (CEASE AND SECKLE!). I saw a couple of vicious girl-fights, though, and they really didn't hold back. Weave and French tips went flying...And yes - I did join in the mass 'Lean With It, Rock With It' during Buy You A Drank. Also - shout out to whoever threw the fake £20 notes in the air during Make It Rain. Classy.
Has The Brown Bounce been deflated? The Brown Bounce. It sounds like the title of a Southern Rap song. See me in the cluuuuuub / It's Gordon Brown. *Does the Young Joc motorcyle dance around the despatch box* The Guardian's poll watchers say that Gordon risks losing his majority if he goes for an October election. They also say that Diet Blair is leading on law and order and health issues - which just goes to prove the old saying - throw enough crap at the wall, and some will stick.
As for Prince - Corinne Bailey Rae's review of Friday's show and after-party was featured in the Daily Telegraph today. If you couldn't guess from the post early on Saturday morning - she loved it. Apparently Prince is a fan of hers as well, so we might yet get to hear them jamming together. It's good that she was able to enjoy the concert as opposed to moaning that she didn't get to hear all her favourite songs *Cough* Sophie Ellis Bextor *Cough*. Allhiphop.com's Rumors blog also shouted out Common, after yours truly hipped them to the fact he was over here doing big things this weekend.
So - we're at the half way mark, now. Ten shows played and the possibility of an October Election. Both of our protagonists are readying themselves for a big September.
