I make pictures of stuff and you can see them here www.benjavens.blogspot.com
I'm pretty rubbish with keeping up with myspace. The main reason is that my computer doesn't like me when i come here and as a result tries to make me bang my head against the wall until i fall down unconscious (true story!). So if you send me messages or a friends request and it takes me ages to reply then this is why. On the other hand it could be because i don't like you, no not really, well maybe. Also i'm rubbish at replying to comments. As lovely as some of them are i'm just a bit useless and for this i apologise. Anyway i best go before IT happens.
I also like buying records and here is a whole bunch of songs taken from some dusty old records that i pieced together...hope you like
If you can't get it to work you can listen and get a track listing here

THE DIARY Volume 1.5 (20 Years of the Remix) now available for free download at WWW.MUSICOFSUBSTANCE.COM!
“This CD just shows how much Chris Read knows about historic Hip Hop production techniques - Its just a shame he wasn't creating this stuff during the eras he's covering as we would probably rate the man as being up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! - I can't think of another Hip Hop CD I've played so much in years” (ANDY SMITH - PORTISHEAD)
"Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope 'The Diary' megamix in the shape of a remix project, re-lacing acapellas from 89-2009 with historically accurate beats. 'The Diary 1.5' serves as a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills whilst referencing those who've inspired him." (DJ WOODY - FORMER WORLD ITF CHAMPION)
“Wicked! The perfect companion to The Diary Mixtape. Shows an impressive knowledge of sounds from all eras.” (MR THING - FORMER WORLD DMC CHAMPION)
"Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop. Double thumbs up!" (MARC HYPE - FORMER ITF CHAMPION)
