Weasel Blog: Phonica, PIAS, Big Chill, Hypercolour + The Martinez Brothers, Jay Haze, D’Julz, Chris Lattner, Colin Dale, Greg Wilson, Magda + the pick of the weekend’s events…

Hullo all!  Hope you are all OK and well and settling back into normality after the rioting malarky! In the style of the blitz I think its fair to say the best course of action is “keep calm and carry on”. With this in mind I decided doing the blog was the best thing to do this week, bout time you all had a night out to forget the terrible events, and also had some stuff to read which was about anything OTHER than the riots and looting! The police ARE enforcing a 2am closure rule to a few clubs in London, & asking that others comply with a “members and tickets only” rule.  My advice folks to to call the venue beforehand that you are heading to, and check where they are with this over the weekend.

Its still important we all remember that lots of people have lost their homes and businesses and we should show support to our local areas – wherever they may be!  On that note, please see the news section with the sad report on the PIAS/Sony warehouse which was unfortunately set on fire in the riots.  100’s of already struggling labels were affected, and we are imploring you to support those concerned.  www.plainandsimple.tv are launching a campaign to show solidarity to those labels affected, and there are details here of how you can help.

Lastly to cheer you all up I have pulled together the week’s best funny viral’s in relation to the scummy looters.. Enjoy mocking them and take care of each other… xx

and of course how can we forget the worst looter of the lot….

The BBC did a funny fake news report on it; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7577577.stm
