Been a fun filled week of flu, but that has been happily offset by some new music that’s simply not getting off my playlists.
XXYYXX is the name of 16 year old (!) producer, Marcel Everett and his music is fantastic; like the ebodied sound of a cocktail mixed one part joy, one part melancholy and two parts beauty. That, or I’m thinking about cocktails too much, but do check out the lad’s stuff.
I actually can’t stop listening to this tonight. Chap-hop. Like a sir.
If you’ve seen the awesome music video for Madeon’s Pop Culture, then this interesting fella will be fairly recognisable. Nathan J Barnatt, playing up a ‘special’ character and looking well out of place at a dance audition for a music video and pulls the proverbial rug out from under them with his moves.
This one was quite amusing off his youtube channel…
But man, if you’ve not seen it yet, you should definitely check out the Pop Culture music video mentioned earlier…
Been waiting for a video to this song since I first heard it. NASA? Kool Kieth? AND Tom Waits? Oh yeah…
Lord knows how many times I’ve rewatched/listened to this. An upcoming collaboration album with The Black Keys and a slew of hip-hop guest artists including Mos Def, Q-Tip and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Comes out end of this month and I so can’t wait.
New official video from Jack White’s new super group and still probably one of my favourite albums of the year…
Still pretty tired and have to wake up early in the morning so keeping this even briefer.
Cracked.com is great. This new post Clippy Finally Messes With the Wrong Word Doc is pretty amusing.
So is this of a Man Glued to Toilet Seat.
New Scientist presents the Mystery of the Missing Mini-Galaxies and my mind went a little missing reading it.
And finally a very cool Lego animated video tribute to the 8-bit games of yesteryears. Cheers to Fin for the awesomeness there.
