Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in music
Oh slap!It's the Oddfuture Hody, Domo Genesis and Tyler, the Creator video for 'Rella'.
"Hey man." "Hey Michael, wassup?"
"Not much. Chilling with my loafers in the snow, you know?"
Talk Hard sent me this seamless blend of Kavinsky and B.I.G. called 'Nightcalling Big Poppa' at the exact moment when I pressed play for the Diplo Mad Decent Transformers in the Hood Mixtape. And here you were, thinking the universe was nothing but random events and chaos.
Imagine Vangelis, Enigma, and Ed Banger tag-teaming to produce a prophet for the end-times, dressed in blue cookies, commanding cosmic laser transport.
Evil Twin is the master. Evil Twin is the bass.
Everybody has one.
Let.
Them.
Out.
Youth Lagoon's most recent video is a small miracle and we should be thankful for it. Tyler T Williams is the director. I'm guessing 'Melancholia' (that large, looming cinematic miracle) was the inspiration.
The best Shlohmo tracks are made in moonless absences you have never heard of. And although this new one called "Wen Uuu" is mild and clear, it is still smudged with the darkness blotting out hope, the gale prophesying your downfall.
I've been spending a lot of time writing a screenplay these last couple of days (not coming in a theatre near you, it's a corporate thing) on level extra hard 'cuz I gots to make it all happen without dialogue and goddamn I wish I had The Roots to back my storylines up. Questlove and his band of brothers are releasing a 'concept album' (ugh.. save it for the Coldplay press release) and to tease the world a lil' bit, they have been putting out parts of a black and white short film accompanying the 'Undun' tracks each Tuesday. There's three of them out already. Watch them after the jump. So many quotable bars and bone-chilling moments to cherish... Can't wait to hear (and see) the whole thing.
“Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.” -Rainer Maria RilkeLet's start the day with some heart-stopping beauty and terror by this guy (who looks like this when posing naked with a bird on his head). Contains snippets from Lost Highway, the Warszaw track by David Bowie that inspired Ian Curtis to start Joy Division (and still kicks major witch house ass today), Brian Eno, Amadou & Mariam and one of my current favourites: Obsessions (oOoOO Remix) by Marina & the Diamonds.
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.
