memphis Tennessee got some dope toilet seats…

I think I’ve seen everything now. We had a stop over in memphis on the way to Champagne Illinois… You will see some stuff travellin across america, and I didn’t even get a chance to get to graceland.

Chris Martin of Coldplay rubbed my belly for luck…

We did a run last september with Coldplay and I had the most distinct opportunity to befriend and meet Mr Chris Martin -

A very very fine fellow, a superstar of course but down to earth enough to remember just a DJ ;)

We were in london for a couple of days, just finished a show at the “ALY PALY” - Alexandria Palace I believe.

Chris was there and greeted me by rubbing my belly before I hit the stage. He’s a Funny Guy ….

Oh yeah, besides feeling like a buddah statue, we also Did the Jools Holland Show - WITH STING, the FOO FIGHTERS, NORAH JONES, and STOWAWAY…

Here is a clip from the recording, which also aired Live to all of the UK…

And now, off to Berlin, to catch a plane at 7 in the morn to Berlin to perform at the European Music Awards…

On to the next one…

Cupcakin and Mixtape Fans at a rest stop in Massachusetts

Ahh, the funny things that can happen on the road…

We were on our way from beautiful Providence to our Next stop at U Mass in Amherst….
Providence Rhode Island

Not that far of a jaunt, but far enough that we had to stop at a rest stop for gas and what we like to call “OOK DOOK” Stops aka droppin a Duice.

So I started this ritual that everytime we make a stop I pick up a shot glass -

shot glass number 8 I believe...

Been touring for almost 2 years now so I gots myself quite a collection.

On the way back to the bus this Little Debbie TRUCK with 3 little mini Debbie Smart Cars in tow pulled up next to us.

little debbie mini cars

My man my mello Fellow Roc Boy “B DUBB”, our procussionist decided he was gonna try to convince them to let them Drive one of the cars. He 6 Foot 2 and wanted to see if he could fit in one.

He starts talking up one of the drivers and of course pulls the trump card on her - ‘ come on , we’re Jay-z’s Band!’

Homegirls response was - ” Jay-z ??? wait… DO you know DJ Neil Armstrong?”

I kid you not ;) Turns out homegirl Tunishawas a music connoisseur , was a fan of Bittersweeet ;)

She’s on tour right now with The Little Debbie CupCake Crew travelling all over the US promoting cupcake goodness.

So, somehow someway at a rest stop in the middle of no where, I actually met a fan of what I rather people know me for ;) Pretty Crazy if ya ask me.

After some necessary pics, she did let B Dubb Drive around in one of the smart cars -

And then to top it off, she and the rest of the little Debbie Cupcake Crew Hooked up the Roc Boys bus with a WHOLE BOX of Little Debbies Chocolate jammies…
A BOX O Cupcakes for the bus...

Perfect for the ride to the next stop - U Mass in Amherst…

new podcast - Hov - centric set on Kiss 100 in London Exclusive

THE LONDON INVASION…

On Sept 27th I believe I happened to be out in London and took a quick trip to the radio station to visit a very old friend

DJ Shortee Blitz.

I had just finished the Coldplay / Jay-Z run  and was handling some extra biz in londontown, so he invited me to do a guest set which is available right here for y’all listening pleasure.

It’s definitely more Young HOVA centric, but as always, I try to put a bit of my own spin on it ;) pun intended …

Crazy trivia tidbit . THE FIRST TIME I was ever on radio, was with DJ Shortee Blitz about 10 years ago IN london as well, when he was still at  the station out in brixton. So crazy what can happen in a few years …. From the bottom to the top…

YOu can join the podcast at http://www.neilarmstrongpodcast.com if ya missed the previous episodes…
