Nu-Dub Nu-Dub Nu-Dub!!!

I feel it is my duty to inform the crew dem about a certain cultural shift which is sweeping the nation at a rate of knots!!

Nu-Dub is infiltrating people all around you, doctors, solicitors, bin men, finger slammers, for all you know you could be next to one right now!!

So what is nu-dub? How do the recognise your average nu-dubber? Well firstly nu-dub is a fusion of dub, dubstep, nu rave synth and crooning music such as dean martin or sammy davis junior.

Your average nu-dub raver will be seen sporting a stylish dreaded mullet, rasta coloured very tight clothing and sometimes skater shoes with a massive heel at the back. The drug of choice for nu-dub headz is known as MDMK, a fatal concoction of tranquilizers and amphetamines.

Many of you may already be in the clutches of nu-dub or are simply thinking of converting while reading this post. Let me just say this…nu-dub is not to be trifled with, its powerful stuff and can consume your life!

Do the croon-skank!

Anyone here who reads books ?

Without intending to brag about it, but I read one today .. and can anyone explain the latest posts to the Tapeking ? I somehow have the feeling that the only German representative here does not know what is happening on this blog since late April ..

However, we were talking about books. I remember to have mentioned Adam Mansbach here before, Sativo should as well know him. He finally brought out his next novel after the highly acclaimed

- which is, as a matter of fact, being taught in more than forty universities troughout the states.

His newest work is, despite having been released more than a year before, only available as a hard-cover, but I decided to make the investment and spent the 17 EUR to get my copy of

.

Yeah, “The End of the Jews“, which has not only a controversial, even though comprehensible, title but also a really dope

cover!

As the publisher’s description goes:

“A multi-generational Jewish family epic for people who instinctively recoil from that type of “ish”. In brief it’s the perfect Jewish remix of the American race novel: stoned bar mitzvah DJs slyly coercing people to dance
the hora to Eric B & Rakim’s “Microphone Fiend,” a Czech girl passing for black in America, grandfather-and-grandson graffiti missions, swaggering
Jewish geniuses remaking postwar American culture, and a humorous and heartfelt family story. “

Whereas this captures the book’s content as well as its style quite good, I would like to add, that Mansbach has conceived a really impressive and thorough storyline, with several different plots, linked not only in places, but also in time, that feature three protagonists:

Tristan, a first generation Bronx-jew struggling to become a writer in 1930,

his grand-son, Tris(tan), unsuccessfull writer in the late 80ies, and

Nina, a young photographer, growing up in the oppressed Prague, who can finally escape the iron curtain by joining a Jazz octett after their gig in town.

Very remarkable, too, are the parallels to his other works. The most obvious one being Albert Van Horn and his band who happen to play a major role in the narration (Sativo may remember him from “Shackling Water“). Definitely a book worth to check out, trust me.

What especially the rapping fraction here could be interested in (not intending to say that you guys couldn’t been interested in novels, but just giving in to my prejudices, hehe) is Mansbach’s very first publishing, his poetry-collection

“genius b-boy cynics getting weeded in the garden of delights“

After I found out that Amazon by no means charges less than 30 EUR (if they have it in their sortiment at all) for this less than 200pages-book, I finally succeeded to purchase an used and rejected copy from a Massachusetts-library for around a sixth of that price (plus a third of it for shipping, hehe). Word up !

To give you a little impression of the book, here is an audiofile, recorded by Mansbach himself together with a Jazz-band. The respective lyrics plus some further informations about his work and person as well as a couple of essays and a short-story can be found at his website, www.adammansbach.com.

Yeah, that much from the Tapeking. Sorry for pausing the tape-series, even though I still have not found the expected protests, I will continue it when the analogue-presence here has increased again and when I find a digitalized version of one of the tapes I chose.

Could do with one of these

what a dirty twat

this shit is quite funny, but what a fucking bitch he is. Way to get yourself in the tabloids, fatman. I know that he made shitloads more fans after this, I can just picture the conversations,

“Oi, did you see Boris tackle that fucking Kraut?”
“Yeah, it was well good.”
“They deserve it, those nazis, innit.”
“Yeah, fuck europe, them with their gay beers and poncey football.”
“He should run for mayor, he should.”
“But he hasn’t even lived in London for a year?”
“Mate, did you not see him tackle that Kraut?!
“Seen.”

I want one!

Boris?!

Yeah, that reediculous clown of a man was elected as London’s mayor. Unbelievable. Second time I vote in my life, first time I voted Kerry (you know what happened) and now this.

This video kind of makes it all better though..

maybe not..
