He was best known for his remake of Sting's "Englishman in New York" he remade that song as "Jamaican in New York", he also had a wealth of other hits. Known for his personal style and signature sunglasses he got his start in the 1980s, most notably Tony Screw's Downbeat The Ruler, based in the Bronx.

This afternoon I was browsing around one of the blogs I read from time to time.

Assa Cisse has a love for African fashion and is doing her part in promoting it with her blog. Today I saw a new Post for Angola Fashion Week, so being me I clicked on it. After viewing the pics and reading the article I decided to go to the website of the designer who's work I was viewing.
Lalesso was the name of the brand and I mention them just as a point of reference.
Some people use other people as a muse or reference for designing. Some ppl create ideas and
concepts out of silence. Some ideas, especially ideas made out of recycling or being conservative and eco friendly, can often be created by people that have no idea of each others existence.
When I thought of the concept of making these rope chains and bracelets it was actually a part of a bigger project that tied into the colonialism of textile. The ropes was my concept of how Africa is still under colonial control with majority of sought out and branded fabrics being manufactured in Europe.
Is was with great surprise to see the rope chain on the Angola Fashion Week,World Cup Opening Ceremony and also crochet style.
Is the Rope having a comeback?

A couple weeks ago I made reference to Beyonce getting influenced by Iris Chacon etc etc
Original Sexy Mama! look for it on blog!!
Often times I will go back and show you the reader where someone may possibly get inspiration from not all the tim
e it will be easy but things that interest me I may make reference to. Take for instance the Lada Gaga Dress made of meat, so many ppl spoke on the dress but no blog I reviewed gave any info regarding posible inspiration.
The pics posted shows the wide variety that Ami Goodheart of SOTO Productions and 15 other designers took the concept.
Hunger Pains was the project name and it was shot in 09 Jan pre-Gaga
Everything was made of food that the person was craving.

I was not that surprised today to find signed statements online of so many dancehall artists whose lyrics was not given a "bly" under the Freedom of Speech Act.
Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship or limitation, or both. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes used to indicate not only freedom of verbal speech but any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, such as on "hate speech".
Many dancehall artists are being put in uncompromising positions of either signing the agreement, or risk the chance of having there shows cancelled by promoters in cities across the world.
While the agreement actually calls for artists to only sing a certain type of music in Reggae, I find it quite compelling. Personally I can do without hearing any songs regarding a homosexual in any aspect. Why write an entire song dedicated to homosexuality whether it is bashing or not? Within all the songs from all of the artist that signed the petition, I can actually say honestly. I can not recall any hate songs that leave a lasting impression. That genre of dancehall is made specifically for the sound clash party attitude, it is music to get a reaction out of people. It music for that moment, it is already created with the intention of not lasting long and to be marketed to specific individuals.
In closing I would go on in saying that the artists that have been coxed into deciding to sign this agreement, can look at this from another point.
"Make music not limiting your writing skill to small subject matter such as this"

"Make music not limiting your writing skill to small subject matter such as this"
" "I wanna be loved".
cause "Circumstances" has made me who I am.
"African Pride", "Champion" ,who rules his "Destiny".
Its "Not and easy road" for a "Bad Bwoy" but,
"Negus Negast", "Give I strength".
Can't hear my "Mother Cry"
On a "Rampage", refuse to be the "Only Man",
a "Murderer" has "No Respect"
these are just "Untold Stories" of "Wicked Acts" and "Tribal War"
tired of "Sleepless Nights" "Redder than Red" at the "Immigration Law"
"Boom Bye Bye" cause "How the World a Run"
Seems like "Operation Ardent" is in full effect with "No Respect",
dem need fe stop and check, when dem a sleep we a patrol.
But if "Loving was a Crime" and "If Jah was like man"
"Hills and Valleys" would also have an "Optimistic Soul"
Is this the turn of a "Rasta Revolution" can someone "Lend a Hand" and please "Make my Day"
"Life" is full of "Complaint" but I am truly "Innocent"
"Deportees" no call me name, no spread no rumor I'm a "Vigilante".
"Dem sell Out" thought dem woulda tuffa then that "Informer"
All he wants is "Justice" unno "Quick" just "A little more time"
"Till i'm laid to rest" I will forever be a "Top a Top"
ah "WHO DEM!!!!!!" GARGAMEL COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

So when most on the mainland of US think of a bikes we are thinking of fashionable bike with "X" in the middle or how limited a name brand made a bike. Some think about the speed and high end market value of a bike. I myself like to consider something ecofriendly and sustainable. I have managed to source a few videos via youtube hope you enjoy.
Hey no one said the last video Bamboo Bike by Craig Calfee
Bamboo bikes made in US would be cost effective to everyones budget..lol
