Gentle Peoples -

Well, well... what de jail really going on in TnT??!! Cell bars were ripped apart, electrical wirings torn down, cops beaten and feces thrown as mayhem broke out earlier this week at the holding cells of the San Fernando Magistrates' Court... Four-year-old Amy Emily Annamanthudo, whose life was cut short on Monday night after being brutally raped, sodomized and beaten, was laid to rest yesterday. Stuff to just bring out the worst of all your emotions yes. This is exactly why we don't like to watch the news!! Our parents have been constantly saying for donkey years now, "These are the signs... the world is coming to an end!" Sometimes it really feels like it. Crazy. Then reggae artist Chuck Fender come and speak de truth in his controversial song "Gash Dem an Lite Dem" and guess wha... local radio stations implement a ban on de tune. De man right not to want to amend the lyrics yes. Whether they change it to 'try dem an hang dem' or 'jah gash dem an lite dem', the message is still the same ... we gotta STOP the idiot business, the senseless killing, the negative vibes. This kinda stuff never use to happen in the Caribbean!! You know, the very place where the term 'one love' was born. Just plain ole fustrating!

Yush, on to the positive stuff. Bajan RnB sensation Rihanna is still topping the charts. It's like 3 weeks she's been on top of the US singles chart with her international hit SOS (Rescue Me) now. Wickedness. Speaking of Bajans, something to look out for will be Alison Hinds video of last year’s hit song "Roll It." The video is currently being shot at different locations in Barbados and is expected to be on MTV Tempo, BET and regional stations in June. Also, making their World Wide Web premiere on Trini Jungle Juice is Ms Alysha ft. Faye-Ann Lyons with their video for 2006 hit "Party." We really like this video ... it's vibrant, has some hot dances and brings vibes. We likin' how Caribbean videos are now using other local artists in the videos ... biggin' up we own selves and culture.

It's Soca May!! This weekend is Victoria Long Weekend in Canada and next weekend is Memorial Long Weekend in the States, so you know it's nuff BIG fetes and Carnivals to check out folks. Orlando, Atlanta, San Francisco... with DC Carnival amongst others right round de corner. Check out the International Carnival Calendar for more info. Can you believe it's less that a month before World Cup start??!! Who rolling to Germany? You know TJJ will be on the inside! Hope you have been practicing your German...
