RANDOM AWESOMENESS : ARFIN, SNOW BOOTS, BIG PROPS, MIA
With every day that passes, my love for Lesley Arfin grows.
She uses the word anywhozzles, bought cassingles back in the day ( a K7 containing only one song on each side. Whut?) and recently decided to make Mickey Rourke’s character in The Wrestler her Winter Fashion Source.
You should visit her blog from time to time. It makes me smile + she kills as a writer.
Other stuff that put a goofy grin on my face these past couple of days after the jump…
LISTEN TO THE KNIFE – TOMORROW, IN A YEAR
No word on any Belgian dates, but I would love to see this performance.
But you can pre-listen the music The Knife composed for the opera Tomorrow, In A Year, commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma.

Let’s break out some more catwalk soundtracks from Spring/Summer before we move on to the new season, shall we? First up: Yves Saint Laurent, one of my favourite collections of S/S.

KID CUDI : CUDDERISBACK VIDEO

(UPDATE) NOT JUSTICE: THE BEGINNING OF THE END
If you thought the internet was feeling a bit cramped today, you were right. Right now, millions of hipsters, bloggers and twitterati are spewing their opinion about the surprise drop of January 2010: new fake Justice.
UPDATE: Boy, did we get punked. It’s a fake. A good fake, but a fake. Woops.
Press play to listen to the track that fooled ‘em all.

BALOJI : KARIBU YA BINTOU FEAT. KONONO N°1
The title of the song means : ‘Welcome To Life In Limbo’
The video was shot on the streets of Kinshasa, site of Muhammad Ali’s legendary ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ and is a must-see.

THE XX – VCR – VIDEO
This song sounds like a blinking VCR timer somebody forgot to set.
The XX – VCR – Video
“Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we’re superstars, you say you think we are the best thing”
BEST OF THE WEEKS: VISIT KNOTORYUS BEFORE KNOTORYUS VISITS YOU

ME AND THE DEVIL (WALKING SIDE BY SIDE)
Video for Gil Scott-Heron’s new single “The Devil & Me” shows the darkness lurking behind the overused expression ‘urban jungle’.
