Howdy strangers. Things have been so so here at BEN towers. We’ve faced some delays on getting various parts of the site up due to other commitments but mark my words you will see new bits in the next couple of weeks. The literature and visual arts sections are nearing completion along with the cracking ‘Somebody to love’ page. First to be featured on STL are a trio of recording maestros who call themselves Blank studios. Every month we aim to dedicate the page to the wonderful folk of our region and welcome suggestions from the public. This should be made easier once our forum gets up and running hurray.

Blog on the Tyne awards update… The newly named B.O.T.T. awards are currently making waves across the region. We have decided to definitely organise an event in 2010, where the public can cast their vote on the overall winner of 2009 for their contributions to the arts. We’re still looking for a suitable venue but have already nailed some peeps in with presenting, performing and afterparty duties. A proper 3D award you can touch is in ze planning stages plus we have designed a certificate for the monthly winners. That will be uploaded here soon. Now onwards and upwards here’s who got this months award… ra ta ta ta… This months award goes to the Belta. Why I hear you cry??? Anyone who has the Benny Hill theme tune as their myspace profile song is mint in our books, but really Belta is just fabulously talented artist who floated our boat. They were brought to our attention a few months back and their unique hand painted belts/other art products have made us smile with glee. We happen to know Belta is a male graffiti artist, hmm those graffiti types are notoriously hard to identify so let’s hope he will reveal himself for our event. Maybe he’ll send a blacked out killer voice dubbed video link to claim an award should he get one. Let us ponder that for a while and you go check Belta out and remember to “laugh at normal people”.

Before you go here’s some internet finds that may tickle your fancy. Download free promo mixes and other music from North East collective Audiodictum’s site. Also worth another mention since it featured on our news page is this fantastic blog Psychotic leisure music which exists as a means to share challenging, but difficult to find, music. Until next time smooch x
