If you have the same problem as this lady then you might want to spend January’s pay check on one of these…

This cool Jazzbag comes in water-repellent black nylon with silver Jazzman logo on the front. The shoulder strap can be adjusted to suit your size, and there’s a also a pocket in the front to keep your 45s middles etc. The top, bottom and sides are all padded to keep ‘em safe! We managed to get 50 singles in the double-zipped bag for the pic, but you could probably easily fit another 10 or so more in if you wanted.

£16.99 from Jazzman peep here for more details.

If you like your frequencies low, your beats cosmic, your elctronica leftfield, your dance innovative and your experiences new then you should get yourself down to The Patrick Centre (DanceXchange’s studio theatre) this Friday at 8pm to see the Birmingham exclusive preview performance of ROAM by Tom Dale Company.
ROAM the new show from futuristic choreographer Tom Dale fuses remarkable choreography with dub step and sub bass – the kind of bass that can only be described at subterranean.

This exclusive preview performance transforms the theatre into a club bringing with it a PA system that is dedicated solely to amplifying sounds in the sub-bass range of 45 Hz.

The Bass will be provided by Live DnB act SION’s Jo Wills and Guy Wood with specifically commissioned tracks from maverick producer/composer and Mary Anne Hobbs’ ‘golden boy’ Shackleton.

ROAM is a captivating journey by five incredible dancers into a world of swinging sub bass and complex percussion…and is an awesome experience that is not to be missed!

For record purchases, but well worth it… you shall hear from the mix I am planning to put up shortly. However I am pretty skint now so this batch will have to keep me going for a while. Or here’s an idea for busking…

Right so that was summer – now we are on to rainy days, cold nights and eating our way into a warmer season.

At Mama Feel Good! We have an ongoing friendly bake off battle, which in truth has been quite sporadic of late but I thought I would share with you the recipe that featured in the last Mama Feel Good! Bake Off – my recipe for Triple chocolate Muffins. I firmly believe that I won the last battle with this recipe but with no official adjudicators it was a hard one to call. So Bobbalin I am ‘calling you out’ come and have a go if you think your cake is moist enough. I am ready, my tins are greased and my oven is preheated at gas mark 6… Bring it!

Triple chocolate Muffins

9oz plain flour
1oz cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3oz dark choc
3oz white choc
4oz milk choc
2 beaten eggs
284ml soured cream
3oz light muscovado sugar
3oz melted butter

Preheat the oven to 180 / gas mark 6

Get some cute muffin cases or just grease up your muffin tin.

In a big bowl combine your flour, cocoa, baking powder, bicarb, and your smashed up chocolate. In a separate bowl mix your eggs, soured cream, sugar and butter.

Now add your sloppy mixture to your chocolate mixture – but don’t over mix.

Generously wang it in your muffin cases or your muffin tin.

Bake for 20 mins…then get them out leave them to cool a little and SCOFF!

ENJOY XXXX
