Where to visit this summer?

Taken in northern Croatia the day before Outlook festival... 
The venue? An abandoned fort, campsite down a dusty path on the beach...
The first track today is one from one of the headline acts at Outlook the British D n B and Dubstep duo, Nero... With some real heavyweight tracks and remixs out they are set to become even bigger in 2011 but I've decided to go for one of their earlier DnB tracks released in 2008...

So to the film recommendation and this one is a real gem... Its a film by Banksy and is not what you'd expect, this stylised documentary has got a gripping storyline with many bizare twists and turns which make for a hilarious and highly engaging view...
 So just a song to finish, this band were also in Croatia but I failed to see them there but reciently saw them perform at the Cavern Club in Exeter, truely excellent...
 
Be sure to check out the MYL blog, found this one in Croatia when my van was transformed...

Opening Post

Hi there,
This is the opening post for Nursery... Got a couple of tracks for you to listen to and a film or two to watch...
The first track is by an artist called AIM. He's British and is from Cumbria, making a fuse of Electro, hip hop and trip hop creating some fantastic music, this is probably his most famous track featuring on the excellend Tony Hawk's 2 on PS1...


So a film to watch, this is a personal favourite of mine. Writen and directed by Mighty Boosh director Paul King and staring Noel fielding, Julian Barratt, Richard Ayoade, Edward Hogg, and Simon Farnaby, Bunny and the Bull follows Stephen (Hogg) and Bunny (Farnaby) as they set off around Europe. With fantastic visuals and superb set design it is not your run of the mill generic film, something a bit different...


Here's a photo so you have something to look at...










A little bit of chilled out Daft Punk being covered by balance and travelling sound carrying on the Hip Hip theme to finish...
