charlotte got that patti smith look going in that video (a biopic, anyone?). i prefer her as an actress, anyway. "melancholia" is dope.

you don't need to be a nerd to appreciate this.

aux états-unis tout va et rien ne va. à houston, le 30 août vient d'être déclaré "bun b day". pour ce qui ne connaissent pas bun b, c'est la moitié du groupe ugk, connu pour être l'un des vétérans du gangsta rap au texas. le rappeur a reçu l'honneur ultime en remerciement pour son engagement dans les ghettos de sa ville natale. pas sûr que tout ça vaille un jour férié, mais bref. est-ce que ce ne serait pas plutôt une tentative mesquine de la part de la maire (annise parker, à g.) de se fourrer l'électorat black dans sa poche au moment crucial (l'élection a lieu le 8 novembre)? autant d'affection pour un rappeur me parait très suspecte dans un état connu pour pas être très tendre envers les noirs.

i wasn't TOTALLY convinced by that first blakroc record. i mean the sound was there, some collabos were well thought of, but somehow the songs didn't stick in my mind. so, here dame dash and the black keys try to get it right with this second installment. i cringe already while reading the guestlist, though: kweli has been a pain in the ass ever since jay-z bigged him up on a record, u-god is the weakest link in wu-tang, jay elec's talent is way overestimated and cool kids are plain boring to me. having said that, i still believe that the keys can deliver the goods, so we'll just sit and wait.

these are sick. the price, even sicker. 1250 euros at hunting and collecting.

don't sleep on this guy right here. robin hannibal has had my utmost respect ever since dropping that owusu & hannibal lp. to me, that record is a classic. a perfect cross between sa-ra, prefuse 73, jose gonzalez and metro area. later on, came his many collabos, ending up teaming with boom clap bachelors songstress coco to form quadron. hannibal is dropping his solo EP "bobby" on sept 6th on plug research (bilal, shafiq husayn). this podcast serves as a sweet little portfolio and introduction to his beautiful madness.
