The first track on Sir MC Gielgud’s new hip-hop album, The Bard’s Got Flow, is already an internet phenomenon generating hits in the double digits, enough web-traffic to break several RM? records! However, just as plans to celebrate in the Cayman Islands were finalized, we received the second track of TBGF in the mail. This unexpected donation sent Han, our pet monkey/music critic/travel agent, into a week long “listening celebration.” Now it seems we are stuck in the good ol’ USA until someone else can figure out the telephone… [continue]
