Could this be the funniest news clip you have ever seen? It made us mega LOL here this morning!
Snoop Dogg contacted a record breaking farmer based down in Wales whose expertise is to cultivate super vegetables, the biggest you have ever bloody seen. Obviously the Dogg loves a bit of cultivation himself so asked the farmer to come down to his Welsh show for a quick meeting to find out his secrets. Fuck this is funny.
Best quote in the comments: “LMAO this is my maths teachers uncle haha!”

You have probably noticed that the internet right now is talking a lot of Nirvana, and reminiscing on a lot of grunge related topics due to the 20th Anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind record. At the time of its release, the band were managed by Danny Goldberg and John Silva at Gold Mountain Management in the USA who watched this album’s popularity grow overnight and then explode. This week at Music Radar, Goldberg is interviewed and discusses discovering the band and how Nevermind became a phenomenon.
Read the full interview here and get an inside scoop of the band that killed off soft rock overnight with quotes like this:
“You know, Kurt didn’t become a star by accident, he became a star on purpose. Then he found out he didn’t like everything that came with being a star. It was hard for him. He didn’t like being recognized on the street or in airports, and stuff like that. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be successful, because he absolutely did.”
Not a huge amount to say other than the beat is great and Murs looks a lot better now he’s shaved off that grotty dreadlock he wore for the past five years.
The track is taken from his upcoming album Love & Rockets Vol.1: The Transformation which is dropping October 11 and is produced entirely by Ski Beatz.
