MGMT- Flash Delirium Music Video


Last night, MGMT posted there newest video for there single "Flash Delirium". Nedless to say, this follow up album has nothing to do with there debut album "Oracular Spectacular". This album in my opinion is more intreverted, you wont find anything to "Kids" or "Time to Pretend". I myself am glad there coming back to there more pshycodelic melodic sound. This album might take few times for your ears to get use to, but once youve conprehended what they were shooting for, you'll understand...

Ed Zipco Shoots for Vice

Ed Zipco has probably been my all time favorite photographer showcased by Vice. His work is not typical fashion cliche photos. He takes the most obscure and creative photos, I have seen in a good while.

He also, did the "Flash" shoot, last year, which I was lucky enough to grab a print copy of the issue. Showcasing, girls literaly flashing there boobs in the most randomest and public spots around NYC...

Truely genius..

MGMT "Congratulations" Internet Leak....

Once again, the gnutella netork has single hadedly disrupted the music industry. MGMT's new album was probably the most awaited debut of early 2010. Now, since the get go, it was annouce the album would drop earlier in Europe than in the U.S, that showed to be a bad idea. The instant the album was dropped in Europe, it was all over the Gnutella network.

Now I am personally, a music supporter, no matter that it is, Hip-Hop, Indie, Metal or Garage, whatever it might be If im into your band enough, I will more than likely still buy your album.

So, to see how down to earth the guy in MGMT are, and can care less about fucking records sale...theyve made the album available for FREE!


Its on there official web site!



Also, just announced a few hours ago. MGMT will be playing @ The Riviera on June 18th! Tickets are available Pre-Sale only to MGMT Fan Club members, you can be part be joining. Just fill the quick registration form. Also, I predict this will be the only time to catch MGMT for a good while, since they will more than likely start a European tour after.....

Manchester Orchestra on Jimmy Kimel Live


Manchester Orchestra have been one of my all time "indie", not so indie now, bands. I dont know if its somthing in Georgia, but theres ben a recent uprise of Garage, Screamo and other verious Rock & Roll bands coming out of there. After touring continously for a whole year in 2009, Manchester took a slight break and have now began another tour in the U.S. Chicago also being one of the dates on that tour.

What I like most about Manchester is that, there song structurs are not repetative. There songs can change pase, from melodic country like cords, to heavy hitting guitar riffs. I will keep the reader posted on album news, hopefully they will be releasing one this year. Also future events.

Manchester played live on Jimmy Kimmel. Check out the performance, definetly a must see LIVE band.

CRB Radio: Dj Scend "Hump Day" Mixshow

Dj Scend paid dues to the man, by dedicating his last portion of the show to Biggie, kickin a whole hour of Big's classics.

Jeremy Scott x Mickey Mouse x Adidas


"Considering how protected and sought after the majority of Disney’s iconic imagery can be, it’s somewhat surprising that Jeremy Scott’s most recent creation for his work on the adidas Originals brand features the one and only Mickey Mouse, worked into Scott’s signature big tongue stylings. Using the well-known El Dorado basketball shoe as a template and lacing it out in the famous red and gold of Mickey’s overalls, he has constructed quite the monster. This could be a polarizing shoe for some sneakerheads, but realistically, it will probably fetch a pretty penny for anyone who can get their hands on it."




RIP SOLE UAC FTR



Last night at about 9 p.m. I was watching the local chicago news, when they reported of a young man being pulled out of the chicago river after fleeing from cops. Sadly enough it was a person real close to the graff community. I can remember being 13 years old, and seeing Sole's scribes on the Blueline, and even on the expressways.

My heart goes out to the UAC and FTR crews for there loss. Unfortunatly, I never got to meet the brother, but I met him thru his work. I really admired his scribes and his pieces. Its like they say, immitation is a form of flattery.

There will be an Art Exhibit in the near future to aid with funeral spendings. I will post info in events as soon as I know of...


RIP SOLE 1

Can (1968)

Its always great when someone recommends music to you. It tells you alot of what that person might be into. Sy, an old school graff writer, I communicate with thru the Chicago Graff Forums, said, "Hey, Check this song out! Vitamin C by This band names Can" Can? yeah, Can.

Upon listen to Vitamin C, It had such a great break beat, but yeat a hint of funk and garage rock. I assumed what I was hearing was prduct of the 90's. I was completly wrong. These guys prime was in circa 1971! Wow, to hear the music these guys
were making.

VBS: Ruling Britania "Swansea Love Story"

Vice magazine's short documentarys never seem to let me down. Ruling Britania, A Swansea Love story, is a "Day in the life" type film. In which, a film crew followes a young confused couple around Swansea, a small town in Wales.

In recent years, Britain has shows a raise of young kids getting hooked on heroin. In Swansea, nearly 55% of teens are doing heroin and or other high chemical based drugs.



Ruling Britania will show the the harsh reality of what is going on overseas with the drug and teen pregnancy problems. It shows that everyone round the world has the similar problems wether it be in an inner city, or the smallest of towns.

The whole 8 part series is available on VBS!

Molotov @ Congress Theater April 17th

I can remember the first time my little virgin ears heard the sound of Mexican Hip-Hop Rock group Molotov. Since there origins in Mexico's capital, Molotov have always had a edgy reputation. There first recording like "Puto" recieved alot of attention from the Mexican Assc. of Censorship, when it misinterpreted as a slur againt the homosexual community. Which of course it wasnt intended to, it was a figure of speech for a "loser, no back bone having person"




They will be playing a show here in Chicago
