BOOTS MANUVA

Saw ROOTS MANUVA performing in-store at HMV Oxford Street last week.
It was cool.
He did four songs from the new album 'Slime & Reason' and stuck around a bit at the end to sign stuff.
Roots is a nice guy.
I told him back in the 60s my grandad was a caretaker at Woodmansterne Primary School where the 'Witness' video was filmed (which is true) and he told me he didn't REALLY go to school there. Ah well, that's my 'Six Degrees' theory fucked.
'Buff Nuff' is the real stand-out track on the album and clearly a favourite with the crowd who turned up to see him in HMV. Discovered there's an acapella floating around too. Started messing around with that and The Cure's 'Close To Me' which fits really well but seemed a bit overplayed so that got scrapped and replaced with something else I've been listening to a lot recently - 'Meddle' by LITTLE BOOTS.
Which gave me some great mash-up titles: 'Little Roots', 'Buff Boots' etc. but this is the most obvious one:
'BOOTS MANUVA' (click here to listen/download).
