Fresh.
She says I’m not romantic
I say she’s too dramatic
I tell her while we’re at it we can work it night by night…”
With the exception of late 80s and 90’s Hip Hop I’m pretty much either completely vintage or contemporary in terms of the kind of music I listen to, there’s not much inbetween. With that said I thought I would bring both of those worlds together for today’s post. I have a thousands of songs I [...]
Short film by ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ director has odd parallels to West’s recent life.
You’ve heard of art imitating life. What about life imitating art? After months of slow-boil hype, the eagerly anticipated re-hookup between Kanye West and “Where the Wild Things Are” director Spike Jonze, “We Were Once a Fairytale,” was released over [...]

Can anyone read, can anyone feel?
That I’m losing my patience, I just came here to bounce.”
- Justice (DVNO)
Someone asked me what I thought about the whole Kanye event at the VMA’s and I instantly got a scorching headache, felt sick, tired, hungry and drowsy. It was sort of like my minds auto-defense mechanism [...]

Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who just won Ukraine’s version of “America’s Got Talent.” She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and “sand painting” skills to interpret Germany’s invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII. Exceptional.
One of the reasons I’m so drawn to the 80’s New Wave period is because it represents the time when synthesizers and analog recording coexisted like they probably never will again. It was one of those rare times when the future and past lived in total harmony, i.e. freak of nature artists like Michael Jackson.
Anyways, [...]
Wu-Tung Clan ain’t nothin’ to f*$k wit”
This video is bad ass. I don’t post too much hip-hop because it pretty much all sucks these days but this is clearly the exception. Produced by J Dilla, House of Flying Daggers is 1994 New York City all over again – gritty, gully, grimy, great. You might get [...]
This bands name pretty much explains the Et Musique Pour Tous corporate strategy, Make The Girl Dance, fresh. The video is awesome, 3 naked girls walking down a street in Paris in broad day…
The song is basically a play on French music/television culture – all the lyrics start with Je Veux or I want and [...]
I was on set yesterday for the upcoming Kristine Elezaj single Souvenir, and the experience was so captivating that it inspired a music video post. However, before I start talking about that I have to mention the Sony Red One camera the director was using for the video. Prior to that shoot I had never seen [...]
I like girls, that like girls, who like me & like girls.
Is it just me or has there been a significant increase in the amount of girl on girl make out sessions in New York City nightlife? It’s awesome. I won’t ask too many questions or speak too much on the subject so just carry [...]
This song is about your classic amateur league lovers, you know, the ones so stuck in their insecurities and limitations that they feel the need to assume a particular style or attitude when it comes to love affairs. I’ve always found it amusing when my girlfriends, the kind and loving P.Y.T.’s they are, try to switch [...]
In the beginning of this video she ask the crowed if they love hip hop, than she ask, does anyone know Rick Ross – I’m pretty sure that was a joke. The funniest thing about this video is the audience, whom to say the least do not look like the type of people with a [...]
These guys sampled the drums from “Be My Baby,” one of my favorite 60’s songs performed by The Shangri-Las and produced by one of my musical heroes, the pop mastermind Phil Spector. At face value, this song is about the thrill being gone, the end, going from liking someone to indifference. The callous overtone may turn [...]
Almost a year of being released as a single MGMT has finally unveiled a new video for their fantastic but extremely overplayed song Kids.
Control yourself, take only what you need from it.”
Those simple yet profound lyrics have been somewhat of a mantra for me since I first heard the song. Having grown up traveling and [...]
The Ye-Ye movement was emblematic of the French 60s. With singers such as France Gall, Francoise Hardy or Sylvie Vartan, they represented a musical style very French, beautiful, innocent and naive to a provocative manner. Gainsbourg (already) was behind a few of them and composed playfully lyrics for them. France Gall famously sang “Annie loves [...]
