NEW ERA & MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL LAUNCH DOUBLE MEANING CAMPAIGN Exclusive promotion in conjunction with New Era’s European flagship stores and Citadium in France
LONDON, UK, (November 25th, 2009) – New Era Cap Co., Inc., the authentic global lifestyle brand, today announced its double-meaning campaign with Major League Baseball. The month long promotion features out-of-home marketing methods to communicate their long-serving partnership as well as supporting the profile of both brands within the consumer marketplace.
The campaign imagery will be located in key public areas surrounding New Era’s three European flagship stores in London, Berlin and Birmingham as well as Paris’ major sports and fashion department store, Citadium. The promotion will feature three different action shots with a supporting caption such as ‘switch hitter’ and ‘stolen base’. The caption implies a literal and metaphoric meaning to the image with an additional text explanation of the official baseball terminology in detail.
A supplementary element to the campaign is a chance for people to enter a competition and win a trip for two to New York City with four nights accommodation, tickets to a NY Yankees game and evening entertainment at a popular music gig in the heart of NYC. The competition ballots can be found exclusively in New Era’s European flagship stores, Citadium and www.neweracap.co.uk for a month long period.
This ongoing campaign celebrates the connection between New Era, Major League Baseball and its diverse consumer base, and helps clarify the brand’s heritage roots within American sports.
So, the first part of this piece was about a band form South London, now I am going to talk about a venue. This, in my opinion, is the most under rated and under used music venue in the whole of London. Apart from having two Funktion One sound systems installed (that’s right, two of the bloody things!) it is perfect in location, size and layout for a proper rave! It is under the train bridge at Elephant & Castle which is great for noise, no complaints of music being loud so you can jerk it all night. Size is around 300-400 people, maybe more, split into two rooms and connected by the smoking area out back under a railway arch, nice. If people didn’t get nose bleads every time they cam close to a bridge this place would be banging, maybe even one of coolest late night venues in town. Oh well… your loss, our gain!
This has seriously got me excited. I mhaven’t been to a proper Warehouse party in ages and this looks like a winner! It’s 5 minutes from my house, which is a good start, and it looks like it’s gonna be an all night Techno banger. They don’t give much away on the on the website, but if you sign up, the send you an invite and bang, you’re in! Exciting stuff south of the river. The next Franks me thinks… the saga continues.
So, as the year comes to end, and I am getting closer to leaving the UK for five weeks, I have decided to break down the things I love about South London. I am born and bread South East and the world is finally starting to take notice. Don’t believe me, check out what the Metro and the New York Times have to say about it: METRO ARTICLE | NY TIMES ARTICLE.
‘East has happened, South is happening…’, that’s the word on the street. Even East London heads are whispering it. Here are 10 things I love about South London that I think are worth shouting about. Over the next four weeks I shall deliver exactly what I think is great about in ten parts. First up, a bit of music, of course.
1: THE XX
There is so much to say about this band but I am going to leave it at this… they are astonishing. I have waxed lyrical about these guys for a while after being introduced to them by a friend of mine called James. Since then I have had the album on repeat. Only three other albums have caught my attention like this one in the last couple of years, The Phantom Band – Checkmate Savage, Mystery Jets – Twenty One and The Foals – Antidotes.
Check out what the Guardian had to say here: THE GUARDIAN. I have already posted a track from YouTube but I love them so much, here is another one.
Here it is, the live set from GET SOME 001. Don’t watch the end as myself and SSG had some technical issues. BIG UP!

I read this in the Guardian online. Personally, I cannot wait for this to happen. ‘Blue Lines’ was one of the first records I ever baught and still remains a classic album in my colection. Should be an interesting combination as I am in no doubt that Massive Attack has influenced Burials music in one way or another. Check out the article here: GUARDIAN
This has been around few a weeks now but I haven’t posted about it until now because I didn’t have a copy, now I do! Four Tet is all about collaboration, so i’m not surprised that he has made moves to team up with one of the UK’s finest, Burial. It is also no shock considering that Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, and Burial, aka William Bevan went the same school in Putney, Elliott School. I think this was an inevitable collaboration, don’t you?
The result of this, “Moth” and “Wolf Cub,”. It arrived in a black sleeve and had a black label. Very old school with 2009 twist, taking you back to the days of Rave and Jungle where information about the record would often be missing. The most you could hope for was a title handwritten in permanent black ink.
This record is probably a bit of a grower a I am not even think about it yet. I will stop harping on about it and let you decide what you think about it.
