One of the most anticipated releases of the year has arrived.
Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in video
"THIS IS SO GOOD IT MADE MY HEART SINK... LIKE A MIX OF THE FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH WHEN YOU'RE ON A ROLLER COASTER AND WHEN YOU WOULD SEE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH AT LUCH TIME... THAT'S HOW THIS MAKES ME FFEL" (sic)
1. The Horrors "Mirror's Image". From what is still the best album of the year in my book (Major Lazer and Warm Heart of Africa and Jay Reatard close behind...) 2. From the soon-to-be-released Bloody Beetroots album 'Romborama': a slow stomper of a dance track feat. The Cool Kids. (Top image: Bambi licking a frog...)
he Hickey Underworld for 'Blonde Fire'! The Hickey Underworld's 'Blonde Fire' is one of my favourite tracks of the year, taken from the self titled debut, produced by Das Pop. It's like a three-minute kick in the groin... but in a good way.
Video: Diplo remix of Twist and Shout from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, a video remix tribute to the late, great John Hughes.
Who cares about directing new videos anymore when you can just as easily edit together vintage zombie erotica, surf flicks and a zombie vs. killer whale fight scene for your dance track?
Major Lazer is continuing their ongoing bombardment of all things essential (see: shirts, mishka mix, essential mix) with an incredibly outrageous video for the best track on their debut album: 'Pon De Floor'.
Hey hey it's the monkeys. They're back from the desert, they've got new haircuts suitable for 21st century rock prophets and a new album called 'Humbug'. Josh Homme produced and -if this first single is anything to go by - really stomped all over the songs, resulting in less dance-punk, more desert rock and psychedelica. I, for one, approve.
M.I.A. directs the new video of her protégé Rye Rye. Raw, gritty and probably the hardest clip ever (to take screenshots of). Did someone not tell me about this Betamax revival?
It's friggin' hot in BXL today. But that look Anna Wintour has on her face at approx. 1:46 in the first official trailer of the documentary "The September Issue" provided a welcome, icy wind at the office. Watch it after the jump.
Akiko Matsuura is in no less than THREE good bands. All of which you should know about.
