TONIGHT: Hercules & Love Affair

Very excited about tonight's booking. We have NYC's DFA Records signee Hercules & Love Affair rollin' through town for a very special dj set. Expect a lot of great jazzy funky disco house.

Full info on Facebook event page.



And who could forget "Blind" ... their single from last year that was awarded Best Song of 2008 by Pitchfork Media.

Mayer Hawthorne


Is everyone up on their Mayer Hawthorne-ness? If not - get familiar. My single sentence scrunched run-down of Mayer goes as follows: Michigan bred modern replica of the 70s' finest original soul recordings. His lengthier, slightly more detailed, bio version can be found here.

Mayer Hawthorne - Wish It Would Rain

No surprise Stones Throw (a label that I've previously praised for leading by example & signing properly deserving artists) was, once again, on the ball with the talent snatch-up.

"I think Mayer is the only artist in the history of the label that I've signed after hearing only two songs. Sometimes, you just know it’s the right thing to do."

Awkward moments in facebook "likes" (screenshots)

The above family pic is just plain awkward, but the below link is what I'm really talkin' about.

4 awkward moments in facebook "likes" (via College Humor)

Miike Snow x Caspa

Caspa's take on Miike Snow, much like Kissy Sell Out's on Burial (back here), is right up my alley - the slower, less wobbley face of dubstep.

Miike Snow - Black And Blue (Caspa Remix)

Few more Miike Snow edits back here.

And while on the Caspa / dubstep tip... the below tutorial features Caspa's heavier remix fondling, this time of TC's "Where's My Money".

Another failed Drake music video



Forreal? Shit sucks. Directed by the legendary mister Hype Williams? Hype, the fucks wrong with you? How do your go from your unsuprassable videography resume to THIS? Since when does Drake & a greenscreen + Kanye & sparks + Weezy & club booth + Eminem & Slaughterhouse (Royce da 5'9", Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I) entourage + ghetto pixelated youtube video rips of Lebron's basketball progression = a music video? Not to mention, none of them are even in the same city for the shoot. The Lebron thing throws me off the most though - why does the video dickride him? I don't get the reasoning behind it. Can't be courtside seat hookups or free nikes... everyone featured on the track can more than afford both.

Videofail.

*UPDATE: Apparently the song is on the soundtrack of Lebron's "More than a game" documentary (hence the Lebron highlight reels). Still a pretty half-ass way of throwin' him in the mix though.
