Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in video
Florence & The Machine covers 90's Jesus-lovin' Euro Pop anthem by Candi Statton and the XX turn the the whole thing into an intense breakbeat-driven gem of a remix. Win.
You know when there's a dream sequence in movies and, for some reason, there's always a circus with little people scuttling about, a femme fatale with freaky eyes and a ringmaster in a top hat with an ancient-looking microphone, grinning in a fish-eyed lens? The new video for 'I Cut Like Buffalo' by The Dead Weather is kinda like that. Only without the little people. And with Jack White as the ringmaster. He directed it himself, you know.
"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratchYou must first invent the universe."
THE FLAMING LIPS feat. KAREN O: I CAN BE A FROG Video, from the forthcoming album "Embryonic".
Click to listen to an album sampler of 'Man on the Moon - The End of Days' after the jump and watch the Letterman performance of his newest single with Ratatat.
"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.
