Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in music
Warning: the following video by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu includes laser skulls, puking eyeballs, morphed blobby heads, a faceless chubby stranger dancing in a dress, a royal duck, toys, lots of fonts and a chorus that goes something like: 'pon pon ponponpon way way waywayway ponponpon waywayway ponponpon waywayway".
It's the second official The Weeknd mixtape called 'Thursday', you guys. So now Thursday isn't just the new Saturday anymore. It's also the new edge of 21st century music. Drake makes a welcome appearance, bleeps, grinds and general depressive degeneracy abounds. You know what to do.
Just when you thought official Lil' Tunafish mixtapes were about to be extinct: here's the bait for Tha Carter iv. Say what you will, when Wayne gets to cruise missile speed, he still goes hard (for your face, like Oil of Olay) while the rest go figure. OK, enough with the half-assed quotes. Download the thing already.
The 'the sound of Johannesburg' mixtape, a BLKJKSSNDSYSTM collaboration with Domus Magazine and Athi-Patra Ruga, is a real treat for anyone who likes to step off the beaten hype machine track.
Finally! Radio Soulwax is kicking off. 24 hours of themed mixtapes, with every second of it accompanied by visuals based on the cover art of the records being played. The first mix is 'Introversy': all intros, all the time.
There are certain things my family has to live with. One of those things that I imagine are included in the 'or for worse' clause of our (as yet unspoken) vows is my fascination for Claudine Longet.
A no-nonsense full-on party mix for sweat-soaked summer nights. You barely need to move your finger to download, so I suggest you do just that.
Ed Banger's bad boy SebastiAn is set to release a mammoth full-length debut, years and years in the making, featuring the likes of Justice, M.I.A. and Mayer Hawthorne, who provides the vocal for the latest leak: 'Love in Motion'. While you're waiting for the album, I've dug up the legendary 2009 Sebastian Mix for Kissy Sellout.
Death Grips "Exmilitary" is the gritty flipside of The Weeknd's "House of Balloons": balls to the wall, groundbreaking, no compromise hip hop of the future.
So Arabia Mountain, produced by Mark Ronson, might to launch The Black Lips into mega-selling orbit. Wonder what they'll do with the money. I'm expetcting Michael Jackson-esque shopping sprees ("This sarcophacus is beautiful! It will go great next to my gold life-sized sculpture of Marlon Brando wrestling a Zebra!") and seriously exuberant hospital bills. Here's the first single: 'Modern Art' and it's very very good and for free (for now).
