Touring N Ting
The tours been going off. Newcastle showed bare love. The only time they wained was when I asked what happened to PJ and Duncan, some of them got offended. I was just taking the piss, but they asked for it cause PJ and Duncan are still allowed to walk around Newcastle like celebrities. Every restaurant you go in has a picture of them in it, they're proud of PJ and Duncan. Scotland was sick, people were going mad, I remember one girl at the front getting happy, screaming and vibrating if you know what I mean, a bit of a fit. Kinda like those girls who used to do it to Take That. Birmingham was a bit of an anti-climax, they expect a lot, even though they paid to see me they seemed a bit on guard. Liverpool was hard at first too but we worked them. As soon as I said 'scousers' they warmed up. I heard that some guys were shouting 'get your dick out', I didn't hear that but I wouldn't take it as an insult. It's just a good bunch of blokes testing how brave they are, to which I'd say 'get your dick out' and if they did, if it was big people would be like 'wahey' and if it was small everyone would laugh. I've been signing a lot of trainers along the way, it's the new lick definitely. In-stores are alright, lots of signing, I like meeting the fans cause they're there to see you. Otherwise I don't really like meeting people cause most people are cunts, not Plan B fans though. In-stores are hard when I've got a show that night cause I've got to perform again and again and again. One day I had two radio performances, an in-store and a show and I felt like it's too fucking much, If I lose my voice don't blame me cause I'm getting whored out like this. Fucking cunts. I'm only joking. I'm really looking forward to the London show, I'm writing this as I head back in the white van. I'm expecting it to be the best, if it's not I'll be fucking disappointed. It's the biggest capacity, dunno how many exactly, but it's more than 500. We still haven't been given any fucking t-shirts to sell, we had a load of new designs made up, like a cunt one, that was gonna be Sems job shifting those so we've had to give him other stuff to do. He's been filming loads. The visuals aren't working yet either, fuck it.

Hey Ben,
I was at the London gig too - you really ripped it up, so congrats.
My only comment is that, for me, I think you are loosing some of your hiphop roots and perhaps verging too much on the indie inspired music.
At the gig (and also on HNAWYGW album) it's now almost all guitar/bass/drums inspired and very little old sckool deck work.
Looking around the gig I was noticing that most of the people were either 'club scene' or 'indie scene' and very little reping of the hiphop/UKG/grime scene.
Don't get me wrong, I like the HNAWYGW instrumental stuff, but I preferred the stuff off of the tracks on your 'Time 4 Plan B' EP. 'Sick 2 Def' and 'No Good' of course. But also 'It's your time', 'Raking the Dead', 'My Life', etc
I guess what I'm trying to say is keep that inspired mix between the two rather than going too indie (which is probably where that A&R men are pushing cos it's a more commercial sounds and draws in a more mainstream audience).
Whatever you do, keep your sound to where you want it to be - cos I imagine commercially there are all sorts of presures to turn it into something it's not.
Laters mate.
