yea rasko i was just making an observation with an american and he got all pissed cos he was taking himself and me too seriously. did you not notice that in the US?
AGAIN i'm not dissing americans, just trying to understand the cultural differences.
yes mashup mixes were very london i guess but now you go to nu media events where conference-circuit motivational speakers dissect Vlog mashups. i don't know why it upset me. i don't know why i'm telling you lot. shitting myself with impunity!

It's true, I think alot of people in America take themselves way too seriously. Actually I would imagine there was a concentration of them at SXSW.

it's a dancehall word.

hmmm, I wonder if their government and media are fostering a bit of a siege mentality in people over there, that might explain that...
honestly not met an american in years though so couldn't really comment specificaly...

Haha. I do believe that might have been genuine wit from garett there. That's thrown the order of the universe a little.

ultimately we may be from the same gene pool, but we are just different.
Britain is a country founded on being part of the complex jigsaw of europe, america was founded on a fuck you attitude, it needed to be, and this pervades the nation psycy
