CASTLE LITE SPRING FIESTA

If September 24 has not been diarised then I'm sure your calendar has a red circle over that date. It's all systems go for the event that officially sets the season of sun, fun and frolic off.

And back to our regular programming...

As I had stated on our first post, we are going back to going forward. Most of ya'll have seen the pilot episode of Layder TV. The one that set it off real good although a lot has changed from then. After we give you a dose of this episode, we hope we don't have to wait that long for this show's creative team to put something together for their next long awaited episode.

Going back in time is never a wise move but there's never anything wrong with going back to going forward 'cause that's what makes it all worthwhile, if I had anything to do about it. You need moments of reflection now and again, just for your own sanity or lack of it.

At a certain point in time, there were three and in this episode, you'll get experience what quintessentially was, with no recourse to the words I've typed, THE LAYDERS.

The Immaculate Conception of the Pinky

The idea of a moniker to concentrate all efforts of bypassing a gimmick is a tool used by many and not just artists alone. The pinky is synonymous, to those in the know, of THE LAYDERS' pinky promise to the world at large. at a certain point, there were questions (and still are) of where this symbol came from. [See LAYDER TV Episode 3 - News Bulletin] A pinky promise to always "make sure we bring you good music" (thanks V The Vowel) to the best of THE LAYDERS' abilities and beyond.

Through out their journey, THE LAYDERS have been in search of many pinkies; the smallest finger on the human hand from common folk and Layder enthusiasts alike and mainstream artists up until Pinky the lab rat from PINKY AND THE BRAIN, Pinky the porn star, Pinky the Pink ghost from PAC-MAN,  and the famed fifty rand note (R50).

Where would you all be without your pinkies? It's a really great question to ask actually. Four fingers on that hand of yours wouldn't serve you well in any of your conquests or demeanours. And picture any of The Layders without a pinky when they mesmerise you with their trade - would they even measure up? It's food for thought.


Check out these legendary pinies wiggling about in their own right and you be the judge of. If you have any of your own besides the two that you have on your own hands, don't be afraid to forward them (as pictures of course - we'd rather not deal with bloody envelopes like it was a mob kidnap type situation) to @thelayders on twitter or The Layders on facebook or yours truly @waku_mandrake on twitter
