Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in music
Radio Soulwax is releasing it's New Beat app mix tomorrow, but NME has the exclusive mix up already. I wish you could see D's dance moves when the first beat kicked in seconds ago. More Radio Soulwax HERE.
Rihanna turns to Melina (see: S&M) to direct her new video for "I Found Love in a Hopeless PLace', who turns in a sort of Sid & Nancy at the council estate love story, including pill popping, shoplifting, ass tattoo / smacking sessions and Ri Ri throwing up purple ribbons in the street. I can't believe I'm posting anything by Calvin Harris, but there you go: this is as pleasurable as guilty pleasures get.
It's late. I've been up since 5.30 this morning smashing burning bricks with my bare hands and wowing the crowds with my power-riffs. You know. Metaphorically. Not like Matt Sikorski, who's been doing it for real.
If you were wondering if hiphop still has the power to make parents frown: I'm a parent and I definitely frowned a lot watching this.
A tribute to the likes of Ridley Scott and Syd Mead from hipster favourites Com Truise.When you're done playing the sci-fi reference quiz (Blade Runner, Tron, Neuromancer ...), why not indulge in some of the originals, so plentiful in the ever-abundant bosom of the interweb.

I spent it mostly guzzling up new skills, greedier than Lil' Tunechi on a relapse sizzurp bender, and collecting gems from the brain of the dragon. Who ready? Who runnin'? First hater that steps up, is the first one that gets tossed out.
Warning: the following video by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu includes laser skulls, puking eyeballs, morphed blobby heads, a faceless chubby stranger dancing in a dress, a royal duck, toys, lots of fonts and a chorus that goes something like: 'pon pon ponponpon way way waywayway ponponpon waywayway ponponpon waywayway".
It's the second official The Weeknd mixtape called 'Thursday', you guys. So now Thursday isn't just the new Saturday anymore. It's also the new edge of 21st century music. Drake makes a welcome appearance, bleeps, grinds and general depressive degeneracy abounds. You know what to do.
Just when you thought official Lil' Tunafish mixtapes were about to be extinct: here's the bait for Tha Carter iv. Say what you will, when Wayne gets to cruise missile speed, he still goes hard (for your face, like Oil of Olay) while the rest go figure. OK, enough with the half-assed quotes. Download the thing already.
