Sometimes 'kind' doesn't cut it, though.
Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in music
Video for Gil Scott-Heron's new single "The Devil & Me" shows the darkness lurking behind the overused expression 'urban jungle'.
New MIA "Space Odyssey" is a protest song against the New York Times, says official rep. No word on official protest dance.
Quote Mad Decent: "It’s here… IT’S HERE! If you’ve been living under a rock or in the jungle with no internet, let me fill you in… Diplo rounded up some of our favorite friends to remix tracks from Gucci Mane’s “Cold War” mixtape series."
It's those f*ckin' Dewaele brothers again, teaming up with LCD Soundsystem for a three-hour take-over of Triple J Radio. Download the Mp3 here.
The Hickey Underworld's previous video was a full-on assault on all that is holy and clean. Their newest video for the single "Future Words" is a more subtle, but no less disturbing piece of work by the same director, Joe Vanhouttegem.
While we were off to the Holy Land, the mailman dropped off 'Contra', by The Vampire Weekend. Track by track first impressions & lyric snippets after the jump.
My prediction for the Word Cup finale in South Africa 2010? England v. Brazil. England wins. My prediction for biggest South African band in 2010? BLK JKS. I should say 'best band', not 'biggest', really. Check out their album 'After Robots'. It will stay with you long after those 'next big thing' hypes for 2010 have died away.
