The Podfather himself, Dr Adam Curry played an ole song of mine last night on his Daily Source Code show. Cheers Charles Quilley for the heads up (and for sending it in, you rule!).
Dude played Bankers, then dropped some serious science about the over-mental, dark, terrifying fraud imposed upon us by Bankist Swine. Check it here, the whole thing deserves a listen, but Bankers is around 25 minutes. Dude goes in on this EU fuckery, Codex Alimentarius, and the removal of the double jeopardy law from the global landscape. too. He is my new hero.
I haven’t listened to that song prolly since the record came out 18 months ago. It is a seriously hardcore record. It made me feel a little faint. Wow, you shoulda seen Jimmy Iovine’s face when we played him that. It was our third meeting I think. He’d heard Oh!, and was pleased, then we went in there and played him Bankers and Thanks For All The AIDS. Oh, you could have heard a pin implode. I actualy thought Interscope was going to release that record!
The further I get away from these mental moments in my life the mentaller they seem.
You know, there was a weird thing about the Interscope office. I dunno if I ever mentioned it. Every time I went up in that joint and switched on my laptop, I’d get the Blue Screen Of Death, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t get rid of it. As soon as I got out of the building, the thing worked.
Most odd. Odder things have happened to me more recently with computers, but I’ll save those stories for another day.
Yes. I had a pretty busy weekend - Saturday I was atShizzio’s video shoot. I was getting my Slash on “playing” guitar. Shizzio does it big! The shoot was on some super-pro shit. I had a good time, ate some ‘nanas, drank a little Henny, smoked a little weed, copped some sunshine, choped up my hand. Shout out Fire Camp and Maestro, and everyone else that was safe who’s names I forgotted.
Sunday was a day of Cleaning. That shit wiped me out, I have no idea why.
Today I am working ona song that is epic to the extreme. And listening to the G Unit album. it’s hot so far.
OK. That One Time TV continues apace. Today’s Big Jack Nimble’s turn. Check out dude’s podcast while you’re at it, about an hour of dope rap stuff. I enjoyed it a lot on Friday afternoon.
We are taking it back! And by we I mean me! I am taking it back!
Yes, in honour of the mighty Back In The Day remix (cheers Adam Walton at Radio Wales, Jon Hillcock at XFM and Rob Da Bank at Radio 1for the spins!), this week’s show is comprised exclusively of OLD SKOOL FRESHNESS. It was also done live, which was an interesting experiment, and one I intend to keep up. Oh, and we’ve got Wade on the phone, just back from Tokyo, with tales to tell regarding Simon Le Bon’s Tongue!
Hey kids! Welcome one and all TO…. AkiraTheDon.com Version 5! The brand new website, from Akira The Don and The Wizard Of Zef!
Obviously (duh!), it is a work in progress. So your feedback and suggestions are most welcome.
To celebrate, I made you a new podcast. Check that shit out.

YO! Doncast 8 is live. It’s the brand new Akira The Don podcast! Whoo! Loads of new music and my ill deep voice. Awesome. Plus! A bunch of shoutouts. Unfortunately many of you were too slow. And too many. So better luck next time. I still think you rule.
The feed with which you subscribe to the podcast is here.
Tracklist!
Well, I was gonna put a tracklist, then I thought, well, that might spoil it. You’d know what was going to happen. IS that fun? What do you mob think?
PS - did you see that awesome gay advert?! Where the fuck did that come from?
PPS - Jack Paris writes: Akira,I’m writing to tell you that Down with the sickness is not by Slipknot. It is actually by Distrubed!Other than that Doncast 8 was Ill! I stand corrected! Sorry Wade!
OK you! I am doing that podcast today. I am a lot more ill. So it will be the Ill Edition. Any suggestions for Ill Songs welcome. Also! If you want a shoutout I shall shout you out. I am feeling shoutoutey. Hit me on the comments or the email.
Crap, I drank too much coffee this morning. I feel like I’m about to blow up.
Yeeek!
So, new podcast later on. In the meanwhile, listen to Adam Walton’s BBC Radio Wales show from last night, it was very good. Apart from this one “song” that sounded like the inside of a chimney. Mothboy would have liked that one. Rest was grand though. He played The Music of The Spheres too.
Rah then, who saw the rugby? Wales smashed it! How very exciting! I have to admit to having been entirely uninterested in Rugby before last year. However, I watched all the Wales games in this latest 6 Nations and they were great. Loads of big ugly sweaty men beating shit out of each other. Fucking awesome.
