Shaggy live at club ItoI in Osaka, Japan photos
Shaggy celebrated the release of his new 2007 album Intoxication in club ItoI in Osaka, Japan yesterday, after having had a first release party in club AgeHa in Tokyo yesterday. This second Intoxication release party in Japan was a big success as well… Shaggy and Rayvon performed a lot of songs and the audience loved it. You can view some pictures and read an article about the concert (in Japanese) on Rockers Island.

Bakanaal TV has put a long version of the Machel Montano, Shaggy and X-Tatic video “Toro Toro”, which is sometimes also called “Mad Bull Fever”, online. It’s a longer and clearer Toro Toro soca video than the other ones that are online elsewhere. Enjoy!

Shaggy will be at Saturday Night’s Special Reggae Jam at Club I to I tonight to celebrate the release of his 2007 album Intoxication, together with among others Rayvon, Soldier, Dodge and Jah-T from Killasan Movement and Bionic Skank. Both Club ItoI and Rockers Island have nice promos for the Good Time Meets Shaggy Intoxication album release party. It is being said that Mr Lover Lover will also have a release party on November 8 at Club Festivals in Philadelphia, US, but I haven’t read any confirmation about that yet. Acary wrote about Shaggy’s Intoxication release party in club Ageha in Tokyo, Japan and she has two more photos of Shaggy and Rayvon in concert.

International press agency Reuters had an interview with Shaggy about his new 2007 album Intoxication, which is set for release on November 13 in the US and the Caribbean. The article is called “Shaggy reconnects with reggae roots on indie debut”. It says a lot about Shaggy’s new found freedom now that he isn’t on any major record company that tries to hold him back anymore and his unique style of performing live. You can read the very interesting article here.

If you wanna read a funny review of the Bonafide Girl video for Shaggy’s new single featuring Rik Rok and Tony Gold – or rather Rik Rok’s painting in it, check Blender.

Shaggy had his first Japanese Intoxication Release Party in Club AgeHa in Tokyo, Japan, yesterday, and the celebration was a big success! Shaggy and Rayvon wowed the crowds when they performed a couple of the songs on the new Intoxication album as well as some of their older hits. Suya and Tammy have very nice pictures and stories (in Japanese) about the release party.

Did I mention Shaggy was a busy boy on October 20? I have to correct myself: he was a VERY busy boy, he did even more than two shows that day. He went to and from England for the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2007, he raced in the Stock Car Challenge 2007 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany and he also represented at the Riddim Soundclash 2007 in Dusseldorf, Germany – the sound clash between world famous David Rodigan, Sentinel Sound and Black Scorpio warmed up by Pow Pow Movement sound system. Shaggy performed as a surprise guest. Oh yeah, David Rodigan once again won the Dub Fi Dub. Picture and article at riddim.de.

Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2007
Another interview of Shaggy at the Red Carpet of the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2007. He just got there in between racing in Germany and says it’s still really early for him. His kids watch Nickelodeon as well. Shaggy likes the UK and his UK fans. When asked about the Spice Girls, he says it’s surprising they sold out so soon but now he maybe has to go see them as well.

Shaggy, Rayvon and Tony Gold interview video
Shaggy, Rayvon, Tony Gold, DJ Kue and Rossi video with Alena 7 from WPGC 95.5 FM at Club Crossroads in Maryland. Cool video and it’s also the first Tony Gold interview video I’ve seen so far!

Shaggy turns 39 today. Happy birthday to Shaggy!

Shaggy did a lot of interviews in Germany to promote his new album Intoxication which was released earlier this month in Germany (this week, it’ll be released in the UK while the US and the Caribbean still need to wait until November for their version of Intoxication). Prosieben (TV Total, et cetera) has a tv interview video with Shaggy online! You can watch it right here (click on “Interview mit Shaggy”) – the page also has some cool pics of Shaggy and more. Shaggy talks about his new 2007 album Intoxication, Church Heathen, the Bonafide Girl video shoot and more. The video also shows Shaggy walking around and taking pictures with people. Some parts of the interview:

Rockstar lifestyle?
When asked about his nickname Mr Lover Lover in contrast with not leading the rockstar kind of lifestyle, Shaggy says he understands why people would welcome that kind of life, but being in the game as long as Shaggy has, things get old. His nickname Mr Lover Lover doesn’t relate as much to his alleged lifestyle as it does to the type of music he makes. Make-baby music that is. Initially when he went into music, being a successfull performing artist was a big reason though since he got in to clubs free, he got drinks for free and he got the hottest chick every night.

Private life
Shaggy likes to keep his personal life private, especially now that he has kids. He does tell though that he has three children, two boys and one girl, who go to public school just like Shaggy did himself when he was a kid, he’s seeing someone, he has 7 large dogs (he used to have 9) and 3 homes but he doesn’t spend a lot of time at any of them since he does a lot of concert touring – which sometimes makes him forget in what city he’s in exactly.

Clothes
Shaggy employs a young lady who buys his clothes, but he’s the one who mainly puts his outfits together. She shows him the clothes since he doesn’t do department stores or like shopping, but he likes nice things – like clothes.

After attending the UK Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2007, Shaggy took part in yesterday’s Stock Car Challenge 2007 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, in a 3000ccm Ford Capri for Team Napster and he did pretty well! Do you wanna know how far he got or see Shaggy in action? You can watch videos of Shaggy being interviewed and racing at the TV Total Saturday’s video page, the videos of the Stock Car Challenge Qualifying are still available at TV Total’s Friday’s videos.

As for the videos of the Stock Car Challenge (Saturday’s videos), Shaggy is in several! Shaggy raced in the 3000ccm class, so the videos he’s in are the ones that say they’re about the “3000ccm”, including “Die Konigsklasse vor dem Start” and “Der kronende Abschluss” (the last part of the last video is NSFW/NSFS). Enjoy!

If you wanna hear some more of Shaggy, there’s one more radio station interview you can listen to. Shaggy called in to 929 (the biggest radio station from Perth, Australia) to talk with Tim and Biggzy. You can directly download the mp3 podcast from the episodes list (go for the Hot 30 – Thursday October 11 podcast).

Shaggy was quite a busy boy yesterday! First up, on Friday, he qualified for a 9th starting position in the Stock Car Challenge 2007 Qualifying in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Yesterday, Shaggy quickly went to the UK to present at the first ever Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards at the ExCel in London. Then he went back to Germany to race in the TV Total Stock Car Challenge 2007 with Stefan Raab and others (more on the actual race will be up later today).

Wire Image has a couple of pictures of Shaggy at the Kids Choice Awards and Getty Images has more and much bigger pictures!

The Sun has an article and an interview video of Shaggy at the red carpet of the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2007. He tells the interviewer he’s there to hand out an award for best female actress and he also sings part of Bonafide Girl! Go here for the video.

The video of Shaggy’s performance at the Stock Car Challenge 2007 in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, is online now!

Shaggy qualified as one of the top ten drivers for today’s Stock Car Challenge 2007 at TV Total. Wanna watch him do it? Go to yesterday’s TV Total broadcasts list and go for video “Das Qualifying I”. Now you can watch Shaggy and more race! Before that, Stefan Raab also interviewed a lot of people who were taking part in the qualifications for the Stock Car Challenge, among whom Shaggy.

But that’s not all! Chilly-The-Hit made the press conference video available for watching, which is very cool. I embedded it below! The video points directly to the part from where Shaggy is shown and interviewed several times!
