Super de Luxe

ello ello
thought i'd introduce myself, i'm James a la Catford (Get-To-Know).
i wanted to show you all the freshest thing i found in a skip this week:
a Tom-a-Hawk copy of a Mk.I Raleigh Chopper (the low budget alternative to the retro classic preferred by working class parents across the nation).
I know it looks like a rusty heap of shit now because, well.. it is, but i'm planning to fix it up and i'll keep you updated on how its looking.
note: Classic frame-mounted gear stick removed from all later models due to various law-suits being filed against Raleigh and Hawk after multiple vasectomy-like injuries sustained by boys (and girls i guess?) all over the country, which could explain the steep fall in the average number of children per household in the early 80's, in my expert opinion.
have faith, and remember, one man's junk is another man's ride.
And hang on to that micro-scooter in your shed cause it might end up on Antiques Roadshow one day.

Updates...

Always the way isn't it, that exam period clashes with big nights... Some things have to be prioritised!


ChockAblock- with more to look forward to towards the end of that line up...



Can't miss Radioclit.


Night Slugs nights do what they say on (the bottom) of the flyer. No disappointments on the bass front.


***Bun exams, go intercity. Roadtrips apparantley not to be missed! -->http://accrobeau.blogspot.com/2008/03/trapstar-x-candy-store.html


Also, The Cool Kids debut album The Bake Sale available as of tomorrow which I will almost definitely not be buying as I have not bought a CD in four years since M.I.A's Arular and don't plan to for the forseeable brokeass future.


New Kidz on the Block

Im Alex, part of Deadly Rhythm , I'm from Camberwell SE5 but I was born in Georgia.
I've been reading this blog for a while and now I hope to add some good shit to it.
All the best to the little man (not like I won't be seeing him) bntl is showah


I doubt any of you know where/what Georgia is so ill introduce it by hooking you up with the finest (and only) hip hop from the land...big up hiphop.ge

Just watch the videos you dont even have to listen. This shit is LOW BUDGET
Ill start of with Shavtvala-Tetri Sakartvelo (Blackeye-white Georgia [not in terms of ethnic cleansing but cocaine...obviously])


Onto my good friends Patara Gangsterebi-Ar damivicyo ( Little Gangsters-Don't forget me)


And finally we'll round off with a bit of Landi-Minda gakoco erti ( Landi-I wanna kiss you once)feat. girls with grape booty



I know anyone who sees this is going to get the wrong ideas about Georgia but these guys are all from the suburbs and little villages.......think Tim Westwood.


I thought on the subject of Kuduro I'd put some tunes up.


DJ Big H-Kuduro ki e Um


DJ Bula-Lacraia

Mais Kuduro por favor!

Ever since Buraka Som Sistema hooked up with M.I.A to do Sound of Kuduro, I was hoping to hear a lot more remixes and Kuduro style beats playing out in clubs, but it doesn't seem like it caught on as hotly as I imagined. Here are a couple videos for those of you who are as disappointed as me.

Do the Right Thing

Rosie Perez in probably the best ever opening credits sequence?



If you aren't watching Do The Right thing for the iconic eighties' Bed-Stuy life then check it for the ending which has left me and mr.Accrobeau himself in a... heated discussion. I say the film is a portrait of the intolerance of different races within a community. The events and the riot at the end leave you feeling gutted for Sal and his pizza shop, because, until then Spike Lee works on Sal's character and makes us attatched to him (on purpose!)... and so the viewers feel against the violence a la Martin Luther King quote found at the end.

Who does that make sense to?!





Do the Right Thing Air Jordan Spizikes released last September. I'm not a fan.

Li Wei Falls To...

Li Wei is a 37 year old Chinese artist who combines acrobatics with photography to create his art. This is some of his work from his collection Li Wei Falls To...
To me, these pictures come with something different. His work shocks and creates a reaction without using played out controversial topics like sex and nudity. More importantly, respect due to Wei who could have done it safer on photoshop.







In the spirit of recycling...

...i'm one of a few who are going to try and keep Accrobeau alive. I'm Lidia, 18 and I hail from the one and only BLUE BOROUGH, south london zup haha more accurately Forest Hill, more notorious for the trees than the mandem. Check us out once in a while to see what we are up to, but find Aaron on better never than late.

...and get down to New Cross tomorrow night for a dose of dubstep and whatnot.

I'm signing out with this because it gives me alot of joke. Watch the man on the left trying not to crease. I need to learn to drive.

End of an era

I will no longer be writing on accrobeau anymore...


The blog will from now on be taken to new heights with an expansion of contributors and consequently subjects discussed, so dont bat an eye-lid, infact keep em' peeled!
But to all those who have been reading my nonsense for the past three months, i will now be writing on the monster that is -> http://www.bntl.co.uk/



See you on the other side

Cans festival

Went to 'The Cans Festival', on Friday only to find out it was 'press only' untill Saturday morning. Reached at around 5 on Saturday due to nice London wheather. Que looked like a scene out of T4 on the beach in regards to the peoples and length, but after some much needed thumb wars we were in. All in all, alot of political, subverted, witty images but most importantly alot of stuff on walls that looked good.
