Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in music
Here's what happened when the newest band on the Odd Future records roster, Trash Talk, came to Vancouver, Canada: meeting Nardwuar and answering the age-old question: "What is the punkest record of all time?" Also, props to the Bananas.
The beats are dirty. The lyrics are filthy. You should download this now and sully up for the weekend.
Leave your $tress behind in favour of some existential trappin', rappin' and ponderin' life, swaying in the sound-built hammock that is the LU$H L¥F€ Mixtape by Captain Franco.
Pusha T slams down an epic beef track, tipping his hat to Biggie and starting up some ruckus with Drake and Lil' Wayne. The Dream signs off on the hook. Some great lines here: "We the ones the judges are juggling their gavels on". The sarcastic cackle sample is Uncle Ricky a.k.a. Slick Rick The Ruler. Crumbs.
A week ago, as I arrived in an empty office and put on my headphones, three swallows dipped past my window. They weren't the first I had seen this year, but as the room was empty and the music on my headphones seemed to fit their flight, I imagined they were there for me. They were carrying a message. A change in the air. I sat still for a moment and watched them.
Shot with all-time KNOTORYUS hero Nicolas Karakatsanis. And yes, it is weird. And amazing. And Belgian supermodel tunrned DJ/Stylist Kim Peers is in it, puking and kicking ass.
Clams Casino is probably on of the hottest producer of the moment, launching A$SAP ROCKY into the hip hop stratosphere and saving Lana Del Rey from the brink of hipster oblivion in less than a year. His instrumental mixtapes are still essential downloads (stream his mastered tape after the jump), and now there's a smooth 25-minute mix of his own classics and some unreleased gems to add to the legacy. Originally delivered to the doorstep of Benj B's BBC 1 radio show, now ready for your ripping pleasure.
Major Lazer dropped the new track 'Get Free' for uhm... free, including a B-side remix.
Sébastien Tellier is taking his spiritual sexy crazy commune vibe to the next level with the new video for 'Cochon Ville' (roughly translated: Pig City). Apparently, YouTube banned it after less than 100 plays. And here's why.
OFF! doesn't do three minutes. But somehow, director Richard Kern is able to take the one minute and fourteen seconds of angry awesomeness (including *gasp* guitar solo) that is 'Wiped Out' and cram it full of moshpits, heavily breathing hipster girls, skate FAILs, surf FAILs, chubby kids french kissing and good ol' punk rock shouting.
