2003-2008

Who cares what was going on around the rest of the world, Bordeaux had it poppin' last night, celebrating Ed Rec's 5th anniversary. Do you remember Paris last year? That was a hell of a celebration.
So what's another 5 years gonna bring us, Mr. Winter? How can you possibly improve on the product that's made so many heads bang? Is that a Ed Rec Volume Trois I see there?
Keep On Doing You, We Love It

Now That, Is Love

Mr. West delivered the [much anticipated] video for Flashing Lights, and no maybe we don't know [or aybe you know? enlighten me, my friend?] what's with the concept [although it is pretty dope, in a very weird and mysterious way], but it is a proper way to spread the love to your fans.
If I were to elaborate on what it is that I am seeing, and come up with a decent analysis, I, well...who gives a fuck? just watch him blow you away :]

It's Monday!

No shit Sherlock. Let's start the week off right. Thanks to Pig Radio. The best Paper Planes remix to date, done by James Murphy of DFA.
this is a bannnnger.

M.I.A - Paper Planes (James Murphy Remix)

Scandalous!

I love it when I go on AA and see ads like this one. No more bum shots, no more crotch shots, they're going all out with their 'Pantytime' Promo. All fucking out.
I'd give my right arm to know what it's like backstage at these shoots. These bitches don't even have to stretch a finger to call their models up for a campaign! Danm, that's the wonder behind Apparel, that's the good stuff that keeps you coming back. Dolce&Gabbana who? AA ads get me going.
Now head on down there and go get yourself some V-Necks, don't skip the underwear section. You know you want some.

It's Like Taking Your Daily Fix

Nothing gives me more chills then the mere thought of the much hyped Justice hoopla in MSG on March 11th. I'm a fan man, I swear, I've completely obliterated any previous associations with crosses for that of what ever the fuck the French duo has put into my psyche. Now, leather jackets, cigarette puffs and ass-shaking is all I expect from any s.o.b who's walking down the street with a cross tattoo on their forearm (or ass cheeks, cause even then, I peeped that, those jeans tight enough?).
If you see X&Y round the way, tell'em there's some hopeless kid, down in Brooklyn, smashing her brains out to New Jack.

Make Way For PJ

Where has this dude been hiding? He's putting VA on the electronic map [let's see we got France, Australia, Canada, UK, Germany and Italy, am I missing anyone?]
PJtheViking has beats for you, and he wants you to listen. Check out that myspace yo, and sample some rave goodness.

So You Say, "Les" Teenagers ?

Another dirty motha from France, The Teenagers have fairly earned street cred over the past year. With wickedly titled tunes [Starlett Johansson], and dirty lyrics, they've won over the heart [and ears] of a handful [no, make that armful] of music-loving hipsters [and anyone in between].
These dudes will be at Cake Shop tomorrow [yes, at Studio B too, later on]. But the Cake Shop gig is, FREE. Yes free. And it's all ages. I know, that sounds swell. Very swell.
give these bitches your attention! [or if you're into them, reciprocate]

Keeping The Kids Happy

Mr.West just announced plans for a US tour. Mr. West, is gonna blow the roof off this motherf....

Arts Fest!

"The heads of Nightingale-Bamford's Arts Board are throwing the annual Interschool Arts Fest. The show will exhibit all art mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, and audio. There will be live music by STRANGERS ON THE FOOTPATH, food, and drink!"

This will all go down on Monday February 4, 2008 at 6p.m

Cheim & Read Gallery (Cheim&Read)
547 West 25th Street

If you make it there, you may just be able to buy one of my shirts [wicked, no?]

Here's a little eye candy, for your viewing pleasure

These Kids Put Rainbows To Shame

They're wearing color as if their life depended on it. As if it was some cool placebo psychedelic drug . Danm. The Amsterdam Clubkids are one fierce set of 'talented beauty experts, designers, photographers, DJ's, promoters, models & club owners'
They are easily the eye catching crowd in parties from Barcelona to Paris, to anywhere else.
Just look at that style game. Sweet Mother of Jesus. I think my eyes are bleeding poppy seeds.
They'd laugh at my closet, that shit's 95% black.

Keep doing what you do Clubkids, you're good at it.








Where Do You Sign Up For This Shit!?

My Runner Up...

For best Ed Banger Cat is DJ Mehdi. He's more on the hip hop side of things. And I like that. Electro vs. Hip Hop? not a lot of DJs out there can pull that off, it's somewhat of a deadly combination. Like playing Russian Roulette or some shit. You never know what you're gonna get. But Mehdi gets it. Every time too.
If you take a look at the 113 era, I mean, that was pretty dope stuff. Right there, flat.
Let's hope Mehdi keeps bringing us hits that keeps us dancing; whether it's a Steed Lord remix, or a New Young Pony Club remix, or even his own stuff.

Notorious B.I.G - Nasty Boy (DJ Mehdi Le Cirque Remix)

113 feat. Thomas Bangalter - Fout La Merde

Rock The Party

Tonight, at 8pm, on 259 Banker Street in Brooklyn; The Cool Kids will come through with what promises to be a pretty wicked performance. Mickey and Chuck will rock the stage at Studio B and for those of you with your tix in hand, and eager to dance your asses off, here's to hoping you do just that.
After the L Magazine dissed them hard last week [I'm keeping a keen eye on you overconfident bitches], I think it's safe to say they'll be barfing their own words back and maybe try to shut up next time (but they're hipsters, they can't do that).

To All The Fresh Kids Out There, Have A Good One!

When Everyone's Out To Get You

Colin Munroe puts an interesting twist to Kanye's Flashing Lights. His version is pretty damn refreshing, and the video if super dope. I'm all for new and talented artists, and I think he puts Canada on the hip hop map. Keep Them Coming! [Wherever the hell you're from!]





Better Than The Original? : You decide.

For Your Viewing Pleasure

The Pacific Division music video for F.A.T Boys has officially landed.
Up to this point, I don't think I'll say shit, cause it's pretty clear how these dudes are stepping teh hip hop game up.

Get With It!
