From Sydney Town,
    In uni. break,
I drove out west
    To earnings make
Onion picking,
    On the fields
Of Echuca,
    That year’s yields.

After day’s work,
    From Y.H.A.,
A group of us
    Would not delay
To walk on down
    To the dirt rim
Of the Murray,
    For a cool swim.

On one such day,
    I do declare,
Some three of us
    Had a big dare
To swim across,
    From state to state,
The wide Murray -
    I took the bait.

Yes, foolishly,
    I took the bait -
A choice that I
    Would come to hate,
For I almost
    Did drown that date,
Making the swim
    From state to state.

STRR007: Justin James (chicago) "Make That Ass Jack" featuring CC Rock, In Stores Now!...Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, USA, 21 year old producer Justin James is exploding onto the scene with his fresh style of Electro House. Solid production sounds with tight drums, glitchy electro synths, and booming basses. A DJ friendly intro builds up to the break, where they introduce the anthem like vocals from STR label head CC Rock, telling you to “Come on everybody put your hands in the air….”. Then the track drops back into some Jackin Elctro House, with digital synths stabs, warping basses, siren sequences, The main breakdown, features piano and strings to calm the action for a moment, then builds back up the vocals with some a FX rise, then kicks back into the Electro Funk! If you are not a fan of vocals, the release features an instrumental mix too. The highlight of the bunch is the WesField Remix. WesField is a 19 year old producer from Croatia, and he has the skills to pay the bills! This track gets you on your feet, funky, grooving, Electro House, with his soon to be trademark style; 4x4 glitchy beats, with dominating electro style basslines, wikkid synth edits, and he makes great use of the vocals from the original. In fact, the only sound he used from the original mix is the CC Rock vocals. The entire track rest of the track is brand new. A great addition to the release and the STR crew. Look for good things to come from this talented teenage European producer. Finishing off the release is the Aleksus Sanchez House of Cards mix. Deep House is the flavor here, utilizing many of the samples used in the original mix; with booming kicks, tranced out synth work, evolving FX layers, and syncopated sample drops. 4 mixes of intelligent house music, ready to rock Miami Beach this year at the Winter Music Conference, and destined to Make That Ass Jack!

Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details):  A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001 

Out of the museum-and-gallery 
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way), 
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me, 
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay; 
Before, on either side, Marine Parks - 
The southern-one a most beautiful place, 
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards 
In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base. 

Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe 
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above) 
Onto the South Pier I made my way: 
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove - 
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression 
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood, 
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun, 
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
