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.
