My little brother's clothing brand Creamie Cash is heating up at the moment. The T-Shirt I'm wearing in the above picture is one of his designs, I've had a lot of people come up and ask me where they can get Creamie Cash on tour over tour over the last couple of years, after a period of testing and selling to order my Bro's finally online and getting ready to launch. Check out CreamieCash.Blogspot.com although I'm not in his links for some reason? The fuck? Wretch 32 and Worldstarhiphop but no Marvin? Seriously? I'm gonna have to complain about that shit.

ALSO: Creamie Cash on Facebook.

PEOPLE!?!??!!

It's your friendly neighbourhood Martian. Where have I been I hear you scream? I have been everywhere and nowhere whatsoever. I've mentioned these recession times in passing before now. I am surviving them. I am severely depressed and frustrated with life right now and I'm thinking about ending it all...I'm not. That would be awesome though wouldn't it? A non-white suicidal rapper could be what the world needs. My last actual blog was posted in July. Wow. July was a long time ago. I didn't have much time in the early part of August and I actually forgot about blogging until the other day when I logged into my Blog email address and saw loads of comments and emails asking where I was. I was nowhere special. I've been busy, busy for you, rest assured. I've seen a few of you out on the skreets over the last few months, you've had very personal blogs. Read from my own mouth. They were about my suicide and shit. Or they were about how I just got a television bigger than your mum's house. For serious, shit's so big, so HD and so expensive. Not expensive in a rapper way, more expensive in a; I'll be paying this off for a year kind of way. What was I supposed to do though? I wanted Hi-Def Xbox.

On the subject of music. Most specifically rap music, made by moi. I promised you an album/mixtape/ep thing in the summer didn't I? I'm flaky it has to be said. I have finished it. Me, Pixel and Jack, we have finished it, we have a project ready to go. We're going to master it THIS MONTH, no wait [checks date 29th? Damn] NEXT MONTH. When Pixel gets back from Germany where he's gone to see the wall in Berlin. He text to say he watched District 9 while he was out there, what a sucker, why did he wait so long? Best film of the millennium? Possibly. What a film. What I'm going to do with the new project is I'm going to master it, then I'm going to finalise the artwork, then I'm going to leak a heater to a few DJs and then I'm going to post it on this blog. When I leak it to DJs I'm going to want you to get in touch with them and let them know you want to hear it, that's important. Then I will do the same thing two more times [I could do it a few more, there is genuine heat on this thing]. After that I will be giving the whole thing to you guys for free. Revolutionary right? Not really. I plan revolution. Genuine revolution. I'm going to be locked in a studio next month for three days in which time I will completely reinvent my sound. I mean, completely. I have a few plans, it won't be called Marvin The Martian, or Marvin anything. It will be so sweaty you'll all shit yourselves because the sweat will act as a lubricant forcing the shit to fall through your cheeks no matter how hard you try to hold it in. How fucking disgusting was that? Can you tell I kinda need the toilet right now? Jesus. In Jack Nimble's removable harddrive right now I have at least 30 songs you've never heard. Pixel's got about the same, I need to get them out to you and promise I will.

For now I am done I think. That's all I have to say. If there's anything I'm missing here let me know. Until then, congrats to the big homie Example who got chart success last week. That bastard wanted it so much, he fucking deserves it. His next single is Calvin Harris produced ergo it will be a number 1. When it is I'm following him for a week to pick up a portion of the free shit he's gonna get.

Prize Fighter on Friday night. COME ON DANNY WILLIAMS!?!?!! Tyson Fury has to fight McDermott again, that's going to be a classic. Haye Vs Valuev November 7th. To PPV or not to PPV, Haye pulling out of the Klitchko fight was such a disappointment. This fight looks entertaining in a freakish way if nothing else though. That's enough boxing. That's enough everything.

HOLLA AT YOUR BOY!?!?!!! SCREAM AT ME WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Yup. I never actually popped champagne on my album. How crazy is that? We said we were gonna do it when we got the deal first deal with Universal, then the second deal with Universal, then when the album was done, then we the album dropped and we never got around to it. So we're planning to pop a bottle next week in honour of my debut album. My favourite album of all time. The Universal released rap album by me. The Champers is already on chill waiting for next week when we can actually toast what we achieved. Fuck thinking about what we could have achieved, the album is perfect as I see it and as I wanted it. The next one will be as perfect.

To mark the anniversary of it, a small thing in a lot of people's eyes but a big one in mine; the link on to the album on the right of this page will no longer take you to iTunes but instead it will go straight to Spotify where you can listen to the album for free. When Apple sign off on the Spotify app for the iPhone the software will be available for pretty much all next gen smart phones and Spotify will be the way that the large majority of us consume our music for better or for worse. Who am I to stand in it's way? I was in the Westfield HMV a couple of weeks back and started playing with their download machine thing, I actually stumbled across my album for sale in their system, it kinda shocked me like, why would anybody pay for an album like this? I was in HMV buying CDs, don't get me wrong, but honestly I still don't get why anybody has ever paid for an MP3. Neil Young said "When this digital age is over, people will ask 'I wonder what the music really sounded like?'" I'm paraphrasing but the point remains.

Rather than worry about all that bullshit though [I really can't be bothered any more. Take my music for free, then one day, when this thing makes sense again, I'll make money off it] I figured embrace the bullshit.

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON DEVIL IN THE DISTANCE

As Jack mentioned on Saturday, I was invited to speak on The Politics Show this Sunday about the controversial Form 696. The form relates to live music and the Metropolitan Police's ability to request sensitive and discriminatory information from promoters, performers and patrons so as to assess the "Potential risk" of that event. Feargal Sharkey wrote a fairly explicit letter to the Met asking for the form, which while officially voluntary has become mandatory in many London boroughs, to be reviewed, an "Official review" has been announced and it's hoped will see the form repealed. While the main focus of the outrage has been a racial one, there are far reaching implications for the creative community as a whole. By filling in Form 696 we are effectively allowing The Police to decide that if they don't agree with my message and who I'm delivering it to, then they can shut me down. Throughout history music has been a great communicative tool in times of struggle and hardship, the idea that I can no longer use the gift I feel I've been given to communicate a message to my people, because The Police don't want me to, scares me to my soul. The Police State doesn't get much realer than that. In Chile, in South Africa, in Afghanistan, songs were used to inspire, to teach, to relay messages of hope and determination against fascist regimes. In London, 2009 we have to ask for permission. You can watch the show on the BBC iPlayer HERE. The Form 696 section kicks in at about 31 minutes. If anybody could rip the 696 section so I can put it on Youtube I'd appreciate it. I downloaded the whole thing through the iPlayer software but the BBC appear to have it coded like clever internet people.


While in the Green Room waiting to go on I managed to grab a quick chat with Peter Tatchell about Form 696 which was pretty great. Peter Tatchell's one of the bravest men in the country, he doesn't give a fuck, a real fighter for the downtrodden. I don't always agree with him but it takes a lot of balls to be that guy.

There's been a lot of people very outspoken on the Form 696 issue including DJ Semtex, DJ MK, Bashy and Tinchy Stryder whose blogging helped me when doing last minute research on Saturday night so I thank you all. Also thanks to Akira for sending the BBC in my direction. I'm gonna tear down Dawn of the Don on Friday. Yiggity!

Me and Pixel are going to be performing exclusive new material [none of the songs we're performing have ever been performed or heard outside of the studio, if you want classics you'll be at the wrong show. Strictly future classics] at Akira The Don's 'Dawn of the Don' gig on Friday May 29th. Most of the songs performed will make up the new mixtape which Jack is in the process of mixing as I type [real mixing rather than DJ Mixing, that process is a few weeks off at least].

We'll be joining Akira on the bill with Stephen Hague, Joey2Tits, Blonde Jeremy Deacon, Zombiehamster and Kill Witnesses who are all DJ'ing. You should buy advance tickets and look at the awesome flyer HERE.

GTA: China Town Wars DS [Marvin The Martian Feat. Ghostface- Blaow! Blaow!] from Marvin Thomas on Vimeo.

Yeah that's a long blog title. This is a viral video Rockstar are using
online to promote the online multiplayer capabilities in 'Grand Theft
Auto: China Town Wars' on the Nintendo DS. The song is new, called
'Blaow! Blaow!' with a hot Ghostface hook. It's an extremely violent
record. I make no apologies for it.
