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. I have become too impatient to wait for signs to appear outside window panes, so I turned on my phone. There was one new message waiting. One of my best friends just had a baby boy. I called him and he told me after the baby was born that night, the first song they played on the radio was by The Beastie Boys. “I don’t know, but that seemed like a good sign.” he said. I agreed, hung up the phone, put my headphones back on, watched the swallows some more and felt happy. Summer’s coming. And it’s going to be good.

Here’s the music on my headphones that day:

The XlR8R podcast by Anenon. Go find yourself a window and look for clues.

Clams Casino is one of the hottest clams producers 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.

CLAMS CASINO

INSTRUMENTAL MIXTAPE (MASTERED)

A new companion to the Eyecandy Smörgasbords to give you guys an idea of what the KNOTORYUS offices sound like.

JAI PAUL – JASMIN

Two official tracks in, just demos really, and this guy is already one of the most talked about artists today.  ‘Jasmine’ is one of those slow burners that you never get tired of.

AB-SOUL – PINEAL GLAND

Part of the ‘Black Hippy’ collective with Kendrick Lamar and such + full-on illuminati.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

BEI MAEJOR – MOMENTS

Much compared to The Weeknd, but much easier on the ears and not as twisted and perverted.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

A$AP ROCKY – GOLDIE

Dat pretty motherf*cker keeps putting out must-downloads that make Harlem sound as sweltering as the South.

LIGHT ASYLUM – IPC

16 months after we first wrote about Light Asylum, they’re finally ready to release their debut album.

DEATH GRIPS – THE MONEY STORE

The hardest band to listen to on earphones is back with a real, roaring album after the mixtape. Press clip quote: “acceleration is a mantra”.

And for the encore:

Danny!

A.k.a. Danny Swain. Check out his Tumblr, which archeologists in 2075 might use as a means to discuss the status of of pop-culture in 2012, and specifically: how a young rapper experiences coming up in a post-Flocka, post-Lil B world.

Major Lazer dropped the new track ‘Get Free’ for uhm… free, including a B-side remix. You should get this. It’ll put a smile on your face.

Download Major Lazer ‘Get Free’

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

From left to right: Busy P (Ed Banger Head Honcho), Gaspard Augé (Justice) , Rick Rubin (Legend), Xavier de Rosnay (Justice), So Me (Art Star).

Justice made a rifftastic mini-mix for BBC’s Annie Mac: a five minute name-that-tune geekfest, no doubt inspired by uncle David & uncle Stephen from Soulwax.

And here’s the massive Soulwax Axe Attack.

Axe Attack from Radio Soulwax on Vimeo.

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.

There Will Be No Peace _

            by W.H.Auden _(1956)

Though mild clear weather
Smile again on the shire of your esteem
And its colors come back, the storm has changed you:
You will not forget, ever,
The darkness blotting out hope, the gale
Prophesying your downfall.

You must live with your knowledge.
Way back, beyond, outside of you are others,
In moonless absences you never heard of,
Who have certainly heard of you,
Beings of unknown number and gender:
And they do not like you.

What have you done to them?
Nothing? Nothing is not an answer:
You will come to believe–how can you help it?–
That you did, you did do something;
You will find yourself wishing you could make them laugh,
You will long for their friendship.

There will be no peace.
Fight back, then, with such courage as you have
And every unchivalrous dodge you know of,
Clear in your conscience on this:
Their cause, if they had one, is nothing to them now;
They hate for hate’s sake.

Marc Jacobs’ SS 12 soundtrack was heavy on the Philip Glass, with a highbrow-broadway–play-like catwalk and  models posed on wooden chairs. No matter what people thought about the designs themselves, this will forever be  ‘that Marc Jacobs collection that got stolen from the train.‘

Things to look forward to. Things that rubbed my retina the right way.

I’m looking forward to seeing  Better Than Something, a documentary with and about Jay Reatard, much-missed punk music genius and all-round asshole.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

Aside from releasing the documentary itself, the makers have been digging up unreleased images and sound files from Jay’s past. Like this 2006 Angry Angles live cut called  “Apparent Transparent”.

More blasts from the past:

This is a picture of DJ 50 Grand’s basement in Brooklyn. He was Notorious B.I.G.’s first DJ.

This is part of the “How Ya Livin’ Biggie Smalls” series of photographs in The Fader magazine, featuring photographs of locations important to B.I.G.’s life and work.

First ever cover of Vogue. Part of the Magazine First Covers series at Retronaut. My favourite is the People cover with Mia Farrow:

OK, back to the current manifestation of the ever expanding and multiplying one we call the ‘now’.

Kanye & Jay-Z posted a new backstage video of the Watch the Throne video at VOYR. The stage is looking incredible, the Kanye quotes are finger-lickin’ pieces of out-of-context-food for haters and inspiration to the rest of us and Hova walks in to take a picture with a kid who shaved WTT in his hair. But the coolest moment for me was when Yeezy and Hova start making their way to the stage and the security walkie talkie crackles “Chi-Town is walking.” *Krrrgh* “New York is walking”.

A funny one to end:

Das Racist on Conan O’ Brian, which caused quite a stir on the internet and in the Michael Jackson corner. Whatever you think about their MC credentials, this is how you make a TV debut.

Here comes the roar.

The Soft Moon – Decay

My favourite new band of the moment is The Soft Moon. Lists. Updating. You know what to do.

As always: a funny one to end: Triumph the insult comic dog visits Occupy Wall Street and poops on protesters, FOX news and the Wall Street natives.
