How NOT to deal with relegation...

Coritiba could only draw at home to Fluminese, which meant that the home side were relegated.

Yes, there are tears in the crowd, and dejected fans trudging out, much as you would see in England.

But then... it all goes 'a bit Brasilian', and the home fans decide to try and kill the referee and anyone else who is still on the pitch.

Mind you, if West Ham don't improve rapidly, I'm sure we'll see similar scenes at Upton Park come May next year...

YAW - Where Would You Be (Audio)

Apologies for the visuals, but just listen to the music.

Please.

It could just be the best 4 minutes 17 seconds of your day...

If you like this (and if you don't, your sick), you can pick it up on iTunes. It features on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Bubbler's 3 compilation.

Definite - Playin' These Games mp3

A new Blu (aka GODleebarnes) production, from Definite's new album 'Matters at Hand'. I gather Blu has a few more tracks on that album, meaning I'll be picking it up tonight. This is what you would expect; laid back, soulful, sample-driven Hip Hop.

Wow... Chongqing Edition

Upon first glance, MAD Architects’ latest project for Chongqing, China looks like an impossibility. The project, entitled Urban Forest, features a stacked set of floors that cantilever drastically from their central support. The floors are designed to bring more nature and open space into a densely compacted urban area.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows offer users an uninterrupted panoramic of the city as a way to combine nature with the urban metropolis. Pools, trees and courtyards are scattered about the walk-around balconies providing an aesthetic which is quite different from the typical office or residential space.

The Horrors - Who Can Say (Video)

I bought this album earlier in the year, and it sat on my shelf for months.

I dug it out at the weekend, and have been playing this track in particular on a regular basis.

They seem to have lost the goth look, and gone a bit Joy Division. Good move...

Blakroc - What You Do To Me mp3


Blakroc is The Black Keys + an array of emcee's that Damon Dash pulled together. This track features Jim Jones (who is dog-shit), and Billy Danze from MOP, above (who is a fierce).

The album is out on Monday (I've been spinning it for a week, and it's not your average rock/rap hybrid nonsense... this is GOOD.)

Saint John of Las Vegas - Trailer

This looks good.

Steve Buscemi can do no wrong in my eyes. Sarah Silverman likewise...

Your own Terry Richardson...


This is too funny.

colette in Paris will be selling these soon. Don't expect them to last long.

BlakRoc - First the album, now the car...?



The album drops next week, and it's good. How can it not be?
-
But rarely is my first thought, having found an album that I like;
"now I just need the car to go with it".
-
Maybe that's why Dame Dash is rich and I'm not.
