Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in mixtape
Quote Mad Decent: "It’s here… IT’S HERE! If you’ve been living under a rock or in the jungle with no internet, let me fill you in… Diplo rounded up some of our favorite friends to remix tracks from Gucci Mane’s “Cold War” mixtape series."
It's those f*ckin' Dewaele brothers again, teaming up with LCD Soundsystem for a three-hour take-over of Triple J Radio. Download the Mp3 here.
Ding Dong. Christmas is here. DJ Sega ups the tempo for a new version of the Jingle Bells classic and Prince Zimboo threatens to chop any man that comes through his chimney.
Portishead backs the Amnesty International cause by releasing a brand new track called 'Chase the Tear', which can be downloaded via the Amnesty International site. You already know my thoughts about Portishead's current output.
I'm not waisting too much words on this. It's massive. Go see the video and download the track.
Attention marketing people. Your trend forecast for today includes: dancing in your underwear with a shower cap on, wearing gold beer cans as rollers, Dominicans and Spanish language in general.
Mr. Lupe originally dropped this Mixtape 'cassette style', which means it was one long mp3, but I prefer the 'chopped' version with separate tracks. I haven't listened all the way through, but I've picked up the rhymes 'I'm doing this for the block and the blogosphere' and 'I am on my 'uh hu' they are on their 'oh no', I've heard him rapping over Radiohead, chuckled at what I can only describe as the first MC'd advertising on a mixtape (basically an ad for the HP DM3 laptop with Lupe saying 'yeah' and 'you got that right' on top) and you can be damn sure I'm gonna be bumping that singalong 'Angels' Remix in my car for the rest of the day. 'Cuz I'm commercial like that.
It's 8-bit ultraviolence with strippers, money shots, blood guts and a whole lot of poo. Like a car crash with a truck full of porn stars. Can't watch. Have to watch. The 'Trucker's Delight' track itself is from 2008. You might remember it popping up in the Soulwax Essential Mix on BBC last year. What's that? Don't have the Soulwax Essential Mix yet?
I've been working on a new project. Can't talk too much about it right now. What I can do is share some of the stuff that's inspiring me along the way.
Mixtapes by Lindstrom (feat. ABBA and Black Sabbath) and the XX (feat. the XX bootlegs, Four Tet, Skream, Burial and the XX edits)
A mix by Justice? In 2009? Really? Yes! Well, kind of. Annie Mac re-broadcast an old mix from when Justice mixes were still a big thing, see?
Miuccia covers her clothes in cute kitties and naïve nudes. (Please insert your own Miu Miu - Miauw Miauw joke here.) David Bowie adds the mystery, mixed by Frederic Sanchez.
"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratchYou must first invent the universe."
Marc said he's just 'really into pretty clothes right now'. Which is fair enough. But wearing your underwear on the outside is only OK if you can combine it with laser eyes and a strong Oedipal complex.
