Nigel Cabourn Edgar Holdall Bag

The Nigel Cabourn SS10 collection has already caused quite a stir from the photographs doing the rounds online, and not without good reason. Again, the collection is based on military designs in the famous Cabourn Archives, and in particular his father’s time serving in Burma during the Second World War. This large-sized holdall is ideal for holidays and short trips and is packed full of expert detailing and finishing. The bag is made from Deadstock 1942 British Army India Khaki Drill Cotton – As Used During WWII with premium leather trim, and adjustable shoulder strap and carry handle, and wound leather zip pulls. It was made in extremely limited numbers and is now available through End Clothing.

Is there going to be an Avatar 2???

Yep, there is a rumor going around that there maybe a sequel....I'm not sure if this could be a good thing.

I think a film like this should be a one off (Classic), as sometimes making sequels often ruin the film it self.

What do you think?

Having partnered with production outfit & independant label True Tiger and charity Ctrl.Alt.Shift, a charity who use popular culture to take global. Some of the biggest names in the business have agreed to waiver their fee’s to appear at the event, with the confirmed line-up a cross section of the UK’s talent spanning multiple genres.Tinchy Stryder, the UKs best selling male artist of 2009 says: "It's so sad and I know everyone who's seen the news has been touched by now many people have lost their lives and being made homeless. I've protested with Ctrl.Alt.Shift before but now, more than ever, it's about playing your part, so whether you can give £5 or £50, be a part of it. Unfortunately I'm in America and can't attend the event but I've donated a load of gear from Star In The Hood which you can win on the night, so do make sure you buy your raffle ticket too."Wiley, currently in the charts with club anthem 'Take That' adds: "When disasters like this happen it gives you a reality check and if there's something we can do to help then we should all do it. An event like this shows that we're able to come together and make a difference where it matters."With 2009 being the year than many underground artists and genre’s achieved mainstream chart success there has never been a better reason for one and all to come together, share a great night of music and raise money for a worthy cause.All proceeds will go to Ctrl.Alt.Shift partners in Haiti where hundreds of thousands of people are already feared dead and many more are believed to be critically injured.

Soulbounce Presents: Men Love Mary

Fifteen years ago Mary J. Blige released My Life, a breakthrough album chronicling her inner struggles while catapulting her to superstardom as the Queen of Hip Hop Soul.

In celebration of this milestone, we gathered nine dynamic male artists to record re-imaginings of their favorite My Life songs for Men Love Mary: A Tribute to My Life, a digital EP presented by SoulBounce.

The EP is hosted by one of Bad Boy's legendary "Hitmen," Chucky Thompson, who was a key producer on the My Life album. My Life was a pivotal point in Mary's career where her voice shined as a beacon of hope and understanding to men and women all over the world. Men Love Mary: A Tribute to My Life offers a fresh perspective from Eric Roberson, Jesse Boykins III, Slakah the Beatchild, Nino Moschella, Bradd Marquis, TL Cross, Darien, D Maurice, Fave and Siik--a new generation of artists inspired by her sincerity, longevity and artistry. My Life was about Mary's relationship with one man, and now many men have reinterpreted these songs in an effort to pay tribute to an artist who has given us so much of herself. As a culture, we do a great job of paying tribute to our stars posthumously. Men Love Mary: A Tribute to My Life is an opportunity to celebrate our Queen and let her know how much she means to us and to music. This is our chance to honor her and give her flowers while she's still here, and we're sharing the bouquet with her adoring fans. SoulBounce is proud to present to you this labor of love, Men Love Mary: A Tribute to My Life.

Download the EP below and enjoy these new renditions of some of your favorites from My Life.
