More! More!

Go on eLZHI, take Black Milk & DJ Dez back to the lab, cross bolt the door + don’t come up for air until you’ve made enough material to provide me with quotables to last out 2010.

If you don’t download this. Better get back to the drawing board. Your lost.

I always try and look at ‘r&b’ in a different way to how it’s presented in the charts.

but only as far as disecting the instrumental or plotting what hudmo beats i’d like to see chris brown ride.

thoughts and dreams that are knocked sideways into lameness by this.

Where The Wild Things Are

ks27 — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 09:55:00 +0000

I have a thing for voices – nasally, gruff, gravelly, silky. Even girls with deep voices. Other guys don’t like them. I hunt em. Where The Wild Things Are just happens to have some of the most distinct voices in hollyweird on a film reel. James Gandolfini? Check. Forrest Whittaker, the sound of sad broken wisdom? Check. Gruff, rough Mark Ruffalo? Come on now. Crazy.

In class they say one of the hardest things to do is to write from a kid’s perspective. I think it’s just as hard to show the world how a kid sees it. The famous book does just that. Spike Jonze does just that. This is very much a film about growing up, for kids and grown ups alike. It’s surprisingly dark. It’s also got an amazing soundtrack which was written by Jonze’s ex-girlfriend, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, with contributions from her bandmates and some members of The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather

Max Records is the coolest entertainment name ever. Max Records is the coolest entertainment boy ever. He might even win an Oscar. He should.

I abso-positively love this movie. It just might be my favourite of 09. One of my favourites ever. Where The Wild Things Are is where i’m at

BEKAWS

ks27 — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:27:00 +0000

KAWS is an NY based artist most people know but just don’t know that they do. This is the guy behind numerous magazine covers, BAPE adverts, and the artwork for The Clipse’s latest offering – Till The Casket Drops.

A while back I came across this video highlighting the man, his work, and the streets. Street Art.

i-D recently chopped it up with him and released this video

BlakRoc

What do the Black Keys, Mos Def, RZA, Q-Tip, Billy Danze, Nicole Wray, and Jim Jones have in common? Talent. That and the fact that they’ve come together to form a new supergroup called BlakRoc. With a lil help from our favourite super mogul of the 2000s – Dame Dash

The album is actually out already and is pushing decent numbers but it’s really all about the music. They hit the studio on some eleven artists, eleven days, one studio tip. And even had the courtesy to record it all for our viewing pleasure. There are, you guessed it, eleven webisodes and I’ll be uploading them time to time. Enjoy.

I.D

ks27 — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:29:00 +0000

Legendary windycity native NO I.D has got somethin bubbling with The Verve’s very own Richard Ashcroft. Some may know I.D as the man behind the boards, pushing buttons for the very best of Common’s work – I Used To Love H.E.R should ring a bell. I.D is generally hailed as Kanye’s mentor and they both worked on Jay’s DOA.

They’ve recorded 20 to 30 songs already. The project is as of yet untitled and might be droppin sometime round April.
