Lovebox Diary #2 (The Full Story) ...

Hello there, Hola and bon tutti, I never really fully informed you about all that happened, went off and went down in Victoria Park, Hackney, East London a couple of weeks ago did I? I've been pretty busy since then I hope you'll appreciate and I'm sure you've been keeping up with all i've been doing online and all that niceness ... I've been Tweeting now and then as well !!! So, you'll be pleased to know it all went well ... here's me with Will Young partying at a Jocelyn Brown and the all-stars secret show in the VIP area waiting for Grace Jones to grace the main stage on the Sunday ...



... we were having a stickyoutearsandbigfacialfeatures competition ... I'll let you decide who won !!! And yes, I opened the main stage on the Friday ... but it wasn't just me ... as I'm sure you saw from my last update and video from Rukus that "me had many man dem dere" ... here goes a long list ... ReggiiMental, Emma Louise, BiggaMan, Joey G-Zus, 2nd Suzpect Joe Rizzle, Flava Dan, Byrnez, Chris Goring, Lloyd, Devas, D-BO and many more unseen but known and loved ... and of course Rukus, look out for him on TV over these coming months ... I was down for the whole festival getting the VIP treatment, I'm sure you've read in the NME about Dizzee Rascal and me and the Bombay Bicycle Club, very kind, even if through fear of a mad set of hip-hop bad men !!!

Who impressed over the weekend? Ellie Goulding was lovely, even if her manager wouldn't let her do a piece to camera for us, can't win 'em all !!! Mark Ronson did some lovely things with Spank Rock and the geezer from Phantom Planet, still rocking those Versions ... Radiohead's Just sounded mega! Big on the decks, Grandmaster Flash, obviously, and I caught a bit of Derrick Carter. Now playing - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message Now drinking - cup of Yorkshire Tea Now eating - a Picnic bar Out this week on Rusty Jukebox Records ... Joey G-Zus - Cartoon Hip-Hop volume. 3 http://www.joeygzus.bandcamp.com/ - FREE !!! Check the advert with soundcheck footage from the Lovebox main stage ...

Matt Henshaw in this week's NME magazine ...

You can find me lurking in the pages of your favourite music news weekly magazine this week ... good to be back on the pages of the New Musical Express ... and England winning all in the same day as well ... what a corker ... There's a snippet of an interview where I do a bit of swearing for good measure and it mentions that Sam Cooke, Damon Albarn and Gnarls Barkley sound like influences upon myself ... not too shabby ... and it gives a mention to B-Boy Soul ... the sound of 2010 ... Don't forget ...

3 shows in 1 day ... that's rock'n'roll mister ...

This is the first live snap of Matt Henshaw and ReggiiMental playing for a live audience ... This shot is taken from the second of three shows performed on the 19th June 2010 ... the first show was on Derby Market Square in the outdoor sunshine as part of Fuse Festival in the name of Love Music Hate Racism ... a worthy cause I'm sure you'd agree and something close to the heart of The Deepest Cellar sessions ... the second show that day was live at the Derby Assembly Rooms as part of the same festival ... great to see some old Censored fans there praising the new songs ... The Deepest Cellar, Can't Hold Back and Adidas Trainers going down like gems ... The third show of the day was in the evening ... and a swift car journey down to leafy Oxfordshire and some much needed nutritional snacks for Mukka Fest and a very good gathering indeed ... like-minded people just looking for a good time and good music ... and good music was provided ... great to share a stage with the Unfriendly Neighbours boys ... something that will be happening more and more in the future I'm sure ... dropping what he had earlier it went down a real good reat um ... plus we through in a little Far Away for the reggae - soul set that worked out in such a way plus a little Grown Ups ...

Finally, an enjoyable run of games ... Official SWFC.co.uk World Cup blog …

First of all, I'd like to apologise for not blogging anything following England's poor poor game on Friday ... I couldn't bring myself to say anything, and I'm sure all I would have said has been said and million and one other times by a million and one bloggers in a thousand other languages. Where was Joe Cole? Anyways, on a World Cup positive I'd just like to say how much I've enjoyed the last 24 hours of football. Finally some excitement, and goals goals goals. Even if it is bloomin' Portugal !!! Brazil vs. cote d'ivoire was a proper World Cup match-up and plenty of talking points to boot. The Kaka decision has to be overturned, I don't care if it was a second yellow or whatever, you can't bring the game into disrepute like that, and echoes of Rivlado doing a similar thing against Turkey brings the venom back, and the anti-Football naysayers to the fore. Get back, football = a glorious game. As proved when played excellently by Portugal against what some may say were inferior opposition. I say I like the Korean tykes, and have been impressed with some of their football, however, they were batted a side with some aplomb by one of Western Europe's finest. And Chile - Switzerland was good quality fast paced affair with some interesting refereeing decisions, some of the reffing in this tournament has reminded me of a game in the USA '94 World Cup when two players were sent off for kicking the ball out, Mexico vs. Bulgaria I think it was ... So, Spain to look forward to watching tonight, let's hope for another decent game ... and let's see how the Spaniards respond to their opening day loss ... better than the boys with three lions on their shirts no doubt ... How about a Free Adidas Trainers Remix Download in exchange for voting Matt Henshaw to play LoveBox 2010 ... http://apps.facebook.com/playlovebox/ ... go for it ... http://matthenshaw.bandcamp.com/ ...

One down many more to go ... Official SWFC.co.uk World Cup blog …

So have we had a good start to the World Cup ??? Vuvuzelas giving you a head ache?? Maradona's adulation too much so early on??? England's chances???? What happened to Spain???? There you go, I've pretty much summed it up in that paragraph. There's not that much happened so far. Besides a few select teams / games the goal count has been depressingly low, and the soul shakin football not to be found in too many places. So, my favourite Spain faulter at the first hurdle and my outside bet, Cote d'ivoire don't look as deadly as I thought they would against Portugal, who I still predict will go out at the close of the group stage. The USA game then? I watched too horrified as Robert Green, still in my opinion the safest pair of hands in the England goal (how's that for a statement?) spilled the ball into our goal. Too distressed!!! In my nightmares it was Ledley King making the mistake ... get Barry in for the Algeria game ... here's hoping to three points against the North African boys ...
