THE STREETS – NEW VIDEO AND FREE MP3 OF ‘THE ESCAPIST’
I’ve been working 12hrs a day and I can barely see straight. But my ears are fine and this new ‘The Streets’ tune sounds promising, although it’s no ‘Blinded by the Lights’.
‘The Escapist’ (the first cut off the new album ‘Everything Is Borrowed’) is available for free, though, so we ain’t complaining. The video was directed without involvement of the label (credits: Mike Skinner + mates). Video and download link after the jump.

TRON 2 (TR2N) TRAILER
Holy crap.
When the trailer for Tron 2 leaked, Disney blocked the clip faster than Jeff Bridges on a motorbike made of dayglow nanolightning.
So I didn’t post it.
But it’s back online now. Watch it after the jump.
IZZA KIZZA MIXXA
I’m not big on picking ‘next big things’, but if I had to ( if the ghost of Heath Ledger showed up in full Joker make-up and put a squirt-gun full of acid to my head) it would be Izza Kizza. I first heard him on the brilliant 88 keys Mixtape a while back (The first full mixtape produced by Kanye West. Oh you missed that one? Catch it after the jump…) and I found myself playing his track over and over again, although I’d never heard of the guy. Yesterday his Nick Catchdubs-blended mixtape ‘Kizzaland’ drops and whaddayaknow? He’s the next Timbaland protégé! (You know, after that Russian guy who won Eurovision.) The ‘real’ album won’t be out until 2009, but by then you should be well familiar with this gap-toothed MC. Who can resist lyrics like ‘Mammajammabananabofanapunani’ over … Read More »
EYECANDY SMÖRGASBORD feat. IBM slides, Neon Neon (new video) and Martin Hyres & William Mebane
Whenever I tell people that marketing presentations are the new street art, they arch their eyebrows like I’m some crazy guy with a long beard, a penchant for foot massages and a message of peace. Behold ye of little faith: the proof.
N*E*R*D VS NARDWUAR
Just arrived at the hotel, came back from filming a show.
Thought I’d chill out, let the innernet ennertain me.
It did.
Pharrell’s close to shitting himself.
And you know what?
Louis Vuitton & Mr. P are going to release a phone.
Sure they are.
You have to see this…
CARINE ROITFELD IS FUNNY
See it’s not that I approve of animal killing just so we could wear their hair and skin in order to keep warm and glorious…
It’s just that this whole discussion is wasted on me..
WHO’S GONNA SAVE MY SOUL?
The new Gnarls Barkley is some freaky sh**. (NSFW) I mean, I’ve always thought Cee-lo sounded like a chubby bleeding heart singing into a green vegetable microphone (who hasn’t?). But to actually see it…
WHERE TO SPOT KNOTORYUS
Lovely Lina of the Avenue store in Antwerp (the ONLY place in Belgium for all your Married to the Mob needs) invited us to their 1-year anniversary party this Saturday. We’ll be there. With bells on. (No, seriously. I’m rocking bells.) As if that alone wasn’t reason enough to come, the ones and twos will be manned by none other than Martelo, Santogold’s tour DJ. (You know you heard about him here first…).
Speaking of Santi, Fed Ex dropped off a package straight from Brooklyn this morning with the Santogold Diplo mixtape.See the pack shot below.
