Wear it with pride.
I found Suki's perfect badge!!!

On a serious tip, and I know Alura's alluded to this already, but there's some serious shit going on in Mumbai. All our crew there seems to be okay. Our love and thoughts to the hundreds that are suffering.

LOL Shiva crew @ Shaanti

PJ writes from Bombay:

"You know those crazy photos from Asia where people are wading through chest-deep brown water? Yeah...that was me the other day trying to get home. Serious."

Today I recived two e-flyers from some good friends and bands I like so here ya go:

I'll be on the Asian Network tonight from 11pm doing a "Hot Mix" on Adil Ray's show. Dee should be with me too. Here's hoping we make it there in one piece.

Last year Stella showed Back to the Future under the GMT line it was an amazing night of sync word play, picnic summer weather and fruity beer. Now comes one of my favourite films of all time – Donnie Darko - 6th August – 6-11pm - Kensington Gardens. Its going to be great!!! The crowd should be full of like wise wierdos who also have over 5 versions of what the films all about..

Uh-oh, now what will you do? Our friends have gone out of business.

A Mutiny of it’s own
The Coppertopknots VS Supersonic Buddha and his Supercharged Dolls

Buddy Kish is a bit of a slob who rarely washes or tidies his room. A girl was coming over today so he tidied up, washed, bought new boxers, new duvet covers and all sorts. He went to pick her up so Kid Kurry and myself thought we'd redecorate.

Supersonic Buddha’s ultimate enemy – The Coppertoper Bunnies - If you very come across one of these, I suggest you run for your life and look for a Shiva Soundsystem trooper…

Also Lost and still not found - More importantly did anyone at Sundays SSB see a large black sq sketchbook at Vibe? It has Coppertopers in it and cyborg Barbie dolls!

Letter from our good friend Franky in San Francisco:

I just heard about the terrible blasts that took place in
London. This unspeakable egregious and callous act of destruction haunts me.
My heart goes out to you and the people of London. Please let me know if you
are OK asap...

I must say admire the hallmark of British resilience and sang
froid! From the battle of Britain to the IRA terrorist attacks, you guys are
some hard bastards, Propaw!!! and yet have established such a wonderfully
open and free society. I don't think we can say as much for ourselves
anymore, here, on the other side of the pond.

All my heart and love goes out to you guys! So big up and
respect to da London town people dem.

We're all okay. Thanks to everyone who expressed concern. Love and respect to London and all in the city from Shiva Soundsystem.

BONE STROKING POST ALERT

I was digging though some old pics and found some from Glastonbury last year (first pic), when we played the same spot. This year (second pic) the stage seemed to have been eating it's greens and grown to 10 times the size.

BATMAN BEGINS IS FUCKING BRILLIANT. I am a huge fan of the Tim Burton films but this is something else. A masterpiece.
