witness the birth of LL COOL A

He kept on hinting at it, but well, there you go: we dullards weren’t ready anyway. Altimet, onetime founding member of the Teh Tarik Crew, opened the evening’s proceedings at the Anugerah Planet Muzik in Singapore last week. With a whole contingent of traditional Javanese dancers, and the ever-delectable Mawar Berduri of Ahli Fiqir supplying […]

global gathering. here. you better believe it.

When Angel Music Group, the guys behind the massively popular Godskitchen event series wanted to up the ante a little bit, they asked themselves, “What would be bigger than God? What would be bigger than God’s kitchen?” Why, a Global Gathering, of course. Since its first instalment outside of the UK last year (where GG […]

i’m guessing you’re not so thrilled it’s monday

Hey. Don’t stress yourself out. (Any more than you already have.) It happens, trust me. Monday is the bane of human existence for just about 95% of the population over 18. The remaining 5% is comprised of freelance artists with direct access to Daddy’s bank account and corporate figureheads who singlehandedly built their companies from […]

the evolution of graffiti. or the graffiti of evolution. whichever.

The evolution of graffiti has finally come full circle. Somewhat. Found this as I was traipsing about online. I have no idea whose handiwork this is, or where this is, or when it was done. If you know anything about this piece, let a brother know. Click on the photo to see the complete graff […]

the set is on fire! the set is on fire!

Well, no. Actually, I meant to introduce Pop Shuvit’s new music video for ‘Set You On Fire’. Crafted with Ikea-like precision and efficiency by Swedish outfit A-Lite Produktion, the video came about after the Shuvits had four tracks from their Japan-release album Amped and Dangerous featured on the soundtrack for Ready to Roll, a movie […]

vinyl fantasy: advert children

In what is surely any vinyl figure collector’s wet dream, Wrigley’s Extra Chewing Gum has released a TV ad (but not here, yet, I guess) featuring a whole specialty store’s worth of cute living toys following an average Joe around on his gum-chewing day.

lady sov goes off the hinges. we have it on tape.

The other Chav Princess, not content with only matching record sales by contemporaries Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse, has also gotten into the habit of making a complete berk of herself in public. Lady Sovereign, Jay-Z’s pick for Def Jam’s British Invasion (yeah, he knows how to […]

“when you care enough to hit send”

With a sales pitch like that, there’s no way these guys can fail. I was surfing around for a birthday e-card, when lo and behold, www.someecards.com came into my line of fire. I’m not the kind of guy who would usually send e-cards, and this site caters to people of exactly my ilk. Online greetings […]
