Professor Green – Need You Tonight

My new contender for the first song of the summer this year — you have to hear it and then once more. And then have a drink, blaring it from the window.

DJ Zinc and Ms Dynamite – Wile Out

It’s exactly what you’d expect from these teaming up. It’s not epic, but a solid head-bopper, some nice rap over Zinc’s rolling basslines.

Wiley – Your Woman

Remember 1998? Now realize that Wiley has done a cover of White Town’s one hit. This is video; I threw the Herve mix below (which is the one I prefer — how can you go wrong with White Town covered by Wiley remixed be Herve?)

‘…to make you sleep with me’

We can skip the insane lyrics of this song; is there anything better than a song about stalking? (Yes, probably.)

Instead, I’ll let you know that I woke up with this song in my head for no reason. I have been singing it for the last hour on a loop in my head. I want to shoot myself in the face.

So I’m sharing my joy with you.

Okay, you will not catch me wearing a pair of these shoes, but I want the song. Star Wars + Daft Punk + Snoop? Must. Hear. More.

I’ve been on a ‘clean off my desktop’ kick the last week or two, as the icons and documents have crept up, threatening to cover over half of the desktop. That’s no good.

So here are two more I kept without managing to post:

1. Japanese Fluorescent Light Fighting. It’s gross, but I think the pictures tell you all you need to know.
2. And the origins of the Moonwalk (via Rex, weeks later). This was cooler to watch around the time of MJ’s death, but it’s really an amazing montage, a great reminder that nothing happens in a void…

How annoying is it to realize, some 15 years on, that I don’t have a copy of “Storm the Studio” by Meat Beat Manifesto on mp3?

I recall, vividly, buying the vinyl from Record Exchange in Fairfax in college, probably my sophomore year. It’s at my parent’s house still.

The annoyance is amped up when I also can’t find it anywhere online. I thought this was why we had the Internet: to find long out-of-print shit that no one in their right mind cares about.

I know this has been ripped; why can’t I find this 20 year old vinyl rip somewhere? (The reason for wanting it are: 1. extra song, 2. the CD version was apparently sped up in order to be crammed onto a single CD.)

OK, blatant re-blogging:

I’m late on this yes, but:

1. Rex said Lady Gaga is the new Matthew Barney.
2. He is right, of course. As noted by the links he provide to this image of Cremaster 1 and the new Lady Gaga video (below).
3. Watch this video. Seriously. It’s insane. (And possibly better if you don’t have the sound on.)
4. And Jezebel broke it down, of course.
5. This is my new “Trapped in the Closet.”

Mr. B, The Gentleman Rhymer- ‘A Piece Of My Mind’

Do yourself a favor and take the 2 minutes to watch this. If you are a friend of mine, I can pretty much promise you will dig this (though your actual enjoyment level may vary).
