Mercedes - DIG


Check out Tonka's Hypermodern Disco Mix of 'Shock Absorber' by London born, rising starlet Mercedes. The multi talented 23 year old of South American and Jamaican descent, has already worked as a dancer for artists such as Will.i.am, Robbie Williams, LL Cool J and Snoop Dog, touring with them and performing at various award shows.



As a child she received a great musical education from her mother's friends, introducing her to artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys and particularly Old School Hip Hop. She cites all those old school acts as an influence on her music, keeping a distinctly urban sound that she combines effectively with original electronic rhythms. This combination of sounds is clearly visible in 'Shock Absorber', a quintessential party stomper peppered with influences from flamboyant artists with personality like Grace Jones, Bjork, Radiohead, Prince and David Bowie.

Im not a band album coming on jan




Im not a band are releasing their album "Electrolin" on january 14th on ADP records. check out the teaser video and expect more goodies soon. a few posts below u can check out the "Crazy" EP already released is a pre drop.




They are electronic and they are from Berlin. It’s their artist name „I’m not a Band“ that reveals that this combo is something special and likes to break conventions. Stephan J. founder and musical brain behind the band soon learned is affinity to the violin and classical music. His residence in musical and cultural strongholds London and Berlin influenced him to found this project of danceable and electronic clubsound underlining the essential and mood directing elements: the violins and the vocals.

This combination is what creates the blend of sometimes gloomy and dramatic, yet playful and frisky and all through thrilling sound of „I’m not a Band“. In a manner that is typical for electronic music most of their songs lead into explosive outbursts and catchy verses, yet never losing the reference to sophisticated music.

Since 2010 Kassandra P. perfects the unique concept with her outstanding vocals and a second violin. After shows allover Germany, Poland, Switzerland and even Great Britain „I’m not a Band“ ups the ante with their first full lenght album "Electrolin" and a professional video to „Crazy“

The Japanese Popstars Feat Green Velvet - Let Go!‏






THE GUARDIAN: “SINGLE OF THE WEEK: TOTALLY STUPENDOUS MECHANICAL POP MUSIC”



In between live shows at BBC Radio 1’s Ibiza Weekend, Reading, Leeds, Bestival, Rockness, Creamfields, and beyond, The Japanese Popstars are finishing their second album. They’ve just remixed Gorillaz’ ‘Melancholy Hill’, and are drip-feeding a series of club tracks to satiate those eagerly awaiting the long-player’s release in early 2011.



Following the ‘Destroy EP’, a sonic appetiser that saw them joined by Jon Spencer (he of the Blues Explosion), the next release is ‘Let Go’, featuring the madcap legend that is Green Velvet. First leaked online earlier this month, ‘Let Go’, has picked up praise from a range of blogs.



Hailed as the rightful heirs to Underworld, Leftfield, The Chemical Brothers, and Orbital, The Japanese Popstars’ debut album, ‘We Just Are’ was championed by The Guardian, Word, Artrocker, NME, Clash, Popjustice, Mixmag, DJ, Radio 1, XFM, and beyond. The singles earned the support of Soulwax, Benny Benassi, Zane Lowe and the rest of the electronic elite.



Recent key shows have included Radio 1’s In New Music We Trust and Ibiza weekend live events, Parklife, Benicassim, Rockness, Club NME (they return on 8th October to Koko), their support slot for Tiesto and Pendulum in Victoria Park, London, and many more. The band will shortly embark on a French festival tour.



Remixes on ‘Let Go’ come from Green Velvet, Joe & Will Ask, Aspirin, Mixhell, and Luke Walker.

For your leeching pleasure and hearing needs enjoy the Luke Walker mix

NEW Stereolab!!




Check out the track 'Sun Demon' by the iconic band Stereolab; previously having been hailed as one of pop's most influential ensembles by Spin Magazine, they return with their twelfth album and is released during the band's self-imposed hiatus from recording and touring. The album will be released via Stereolab's own imprint Duophonic UHF Disks. Over the summer of 2007 Stereolab reconvened at Instant Zero, their studio in Bordeaux to record 32 luminous new songs which would become two distinct albums - 2008's Chemical Chords and their new release, Not Music.

Banksy Does Depressing Simpsons Opening Title Sequence


I think we can all agree that The Simpsons stopped being the arbiter of cultural relevance it once was, like, a few years ago but this opening title sequence, story-boarded and directed by anonymous UK provocateur Banksy, takes self-deprecating satire to whole new levels of funny, brave, dark and sad - and ultimately, should be applauded. Really. It's surprising this even aired at all and marks the first time (in a while) I've felt an emotion other than mild amusement, silent rage or indifference while watching the show. I mean, perhaps there's hope yet for these four fingered relics of zeitgeist-capturing television. That, or Banksy's a genius and can do whatever he wants. I think Bansky is a genius and can do whatever he wants.

Read Hunter S. Thompson 1958 cover letter


VIA - Pedestrian TV

With his fondness for shotguns, dynamite and LSD, Hunter S. Thompson is the person after whom I model myself.
In truth I'm a straight edged geek with an anti-firearm stance despite Texan heritage and aptitude for Duck Hunt (no shit - I'm awesome at it) but for most kids of a certain generation who have dreams of literary success Hunter S. probably features as an inspirational figure (or at the very least a wistful guilty pleasure). When aspiring writers apply for jobs the cover letter can be a make or break sales pitch to not only show off your superb turn of phrase but also provide prospective employers with a glimpse into who you are.

Here is a cover letter the pre-Gonzo Hunter S. Thompson wrote to the Vancouver Sun newspaper in 1958 when applying for a journalist position. A fine example of a writer just being himself...

TO JACK SCOTT, VANCOUVER SUN

October 1, 1958 57 Perry Street New York City

Sir,

I got a hell of a kick reading the piece Time magazine did this week on The Sun. In addition to wishing you the best of luck, I'd also like to offer my services.

Since I haven't seen a copy of the "new" Sun yet, I'll have to make this a tentative offer. I stepped into a dung-hole the last time I took a job with a paper I didn't know anything about (see enclosed clippings) and I'm not quite ready to go charging up another blind alley.

By the time you get this letter, I'll have gotten hold of some of the recent issues of The Sun. Unless it looks totally worthless, I'll let my offer stand. And don't think that my arrogance is unintentional: it's just that I'd rather offend you now than after I started working for you.

I didn't make myself clear to the last man I worked for until after I took the job. It was as if the Marquis de Sade had suddenly found himself working for Billy Graham. The man despised me, of course, and I had nothing but contempt for him and everything he stood for. If you asked him, he'd tell you that I'm "not very likable, (that I) hate people, (that I) just want to be left alone, and (that I) feel too superior to mingle with the average person." (That's a direct quote from a memo he sent to the publisher.)

Nothing beats having good references.

Of course if you asked some of the other people I've worked for, you'd get a different set of answers.

If you're interested enough to answer this letter, I'll be glad to furnish you with a list of references — including the lad I work for now.

The enclosed clippings should give you a rough idea of who I am. It's a year old, however, and I've changed a bit since it was written. I've taken some writing courses from Columbia in my spare time, learned a hell of a lot about the newspaper business, and developed a healthy contempt for journalism as a profession.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence, and generally stuck in a bog of stagnant mediocrity. If this is what you're trying to get The Sun away from, then I think I'd like to work for you.

Most of my experience has been in sports writing, but I can write everything from warmongering propaganda to learned book reviews.

I can work 25 hours a day if necessary, live on any reasonable salary, and don't give a black damn for job security, office politics, or adverse public relations.

I would rather be on the dole than work for a paper I was ashamed of.

It's a long way from here to British Columbia, but I think I'd enjoy the trip.

If you think you can use me, drop me a line.

If not, good luck anyway.

Sincerely, Hunter S. Thompson
