Go Go Bizzkitt

In the Spotlight: Go Go Bizkitt!

His style is as unique as his name (the origin of which Brit DJ, Tom "Go Go Bizkitt!" Nelson, refuses to divulge) – a blend of French House, Filter House, French Touch & Disco Funk that slays dance floors and begs a listen, if you’ve yet to check it out.

Listen as you read by clicking here.

Hailing from a small village near Edinburgh, Scotland, Nelson’s passion for tracks like "Hi-Fidelity" by Daft Punk & "G.M.F" by Deelat soon brought him to Somerset England, "a really laid back place where the weather is a lot better than home and everyone has a 'Lord of The Rings' accent," says Nelson.

Like most of Southern England, the music scene in Somerset centers around Dubstep/Fidget & Thrash Electro, "But I'm trying to help bring something different to the night, just as long as everyone is having fun," Nelson adds.

That something different is what sets Go Go Bizkitt!’s sound apart. And why we are happy to pass the word on: this is worth checking out…

Where can you hear more Go Go Bizkitt!? Reach for your copy of September and October 2010 Underground Club and catch the back-to-back release of "Stutterfunk" and "Pheeva".

And visit the Go Go Bizkitt! Facebook page to keep up to date with what's happening in his world.

Useless Information! - Fun facts, trivia, or just plain silly stuff!

"Strange Themed Restaurants"

"Banana Restaurant, Taiwan" Oh, if only it was actually a banana-themed restaurant.. Nope, this Taiwanese restaurant has a condom theme that just cloaks the concept with a euphemism. Condom-inspired art decorates the place, the dishes are visually suggestive and named with sexual innuendos, and every guest receives a free condom with their meal. The proprietors say the restaurant is condom-themed to promote safe sex and AIDS awareness.
"Medieval Times" One of the most famous theme restaurants is also one of the strangest. Started in Spain in 1973, the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament is a nationwide chain in the United States. Diners enter a huge arena, receive paper crowns, and eat stew and bread with their bare hands while armored knights joust each other on horseback. Fair maidens are saved and villians are vanquished---all in a suburb near you!
"Modern Toliet Restaurant, Taiwan" Matong means "toliet" in Chinese, and toliets are what you get at this restaurant, which opened in 2004. Patrons sit on converted toliet seats and dine from toliet-shaped bowls. Neon-lit faucets and urinals line the walls, and favorite dishes include chunky soups and soft-serve chocolate ice cream. We don't need to point out why those items are on the menu, do we??
"O. Noir, Montreal, Quebec, Canada" Don't bother getting dressed up for dinner at O. Noir-- no one will be able to see your outfit. Everything happens in the dark at this restaurant. Customers eat, converse, and order in pitch darkness. We're not sure how it all works in the kitchen, but the owners say that diners have a heightened sense of the food's flavors because one of their five senses is taken away. Five percent of the restaurant's profits are donated to local organizations that server the blind and visually impaired.
"Fortezza Medicea, Italy" For some, getting into this restaurant is easier than getting out. Located inside a maximum-security prison outside of Pisa, Fortezza Medicea is a restaurant staffed by criminals. Murderers, thieves, and various other convicts pour wine and serve tasty Italian dishes to diners who line up for a seat at the simple wooden tables. But be prepared to eat with plastic forks and knives, the real stuff is contraband. Oh, and BTW, you'll also have to have a background check and receive a security clearance from Italy's Dept. of Justice. (PHOTO: Santolo Matrone is serving 24 years for murder, and wine to customers)
"X-Rated Sushi" It's nothing new in Japan, but in the past few years, the time-honored tradition of eating sushi off a naked woman is gaining ground in the USA. Known as nyotaimori or "body sushi", restaurants that offer this dining experience are usually just regular sushi joints hoping to bring in new customers for a meal and an eyeful. The woman who participate aren't totally naked: They commonly wear plastic wrap and enough lingerie to cover their private parts. Sushi is placed on their abdomen only and patrons use chopsticks to select their food. It comes as no surprise that a lot of women's rights groups are enraged by the idea, but eating raw fish off a warm body doesn't digust enough people to keep them from doing it.
