PJ Harvey - Written On The Forehead (Audio)

New Polly Jean. She get's weirder and weirder.

Cee Lo Green - Bodies (mp3)

Produced by Salaam Remi.

From The Lady Killer LP, out now.

True Grit (2010) Trailer

From Ethan and Joel Coen, and starring Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin.

Usually, I would avoid remakes at all costs, but the Coen's can do whatever they want in my book.

Best Website Ever?

Kim Jong Il looking at Corn.

Okay, maybe it's not the best website ever. But it made me laugh out loud.

Visit Kim Jong Il Looking at Things now for more timeless propaganda classics such as 'Kim looking at pigs' and 'Kim looking at a radish'. Genius.

Just because it's brilliant...

The Smiths - You've Got Everything Now (Live at the Hacienda)

Jay Electronica & JFK - The Announcement (Audio)

This is great. If he can keep up this intelligent, left-field approach to hip hop despite signing to the Roc Nation behemoth (home of Jay-Z, Willow Smith, Rihanna etc) then he will offer something genuinely different and meaningful in a genre devoid of substance at the moment (with a few exceptions.)

Nixon x Beastie Boys

Nixon watches team up with the Hot Sauce Committee.

RADCollector says: “With Mike D with a bottle of cognac on the face and the quotation ”I accept this award on behalf of the band” written on the band, the Maritime themed watch fits the Beastie steez to a tee. Only 20 global retailers will be dropping one of four colorways each week in December."

Not my thing personally, but trashily humourous. You can pick one up at Dover Street Market while stocks last.

Cowbell - Never Satisfied (Video)

I love this track. Hope you do too.

Cowbell are a blues/garage rock duo from London. Yes, it's a fella on guitar and vocals and a woman on drums. Sounds familiar doesnt it? I really dont care if they are a White Stripes rip off (they're not); this is great music.

Gorillaz - Crystalised (the XX cover - Video)

'Controversial' Live Lounge cover of the XX anthem.

Why is it controversial? I'll let NME tell you. Almost everybody else loved it
.

Personally, I quite like it despite the lack of energy or baseline. Plus, it features glockenspiels!

Back For Good?

After the best part of a year off, Eternal Broadcaster is returning.

More music, fashion, film, design nonsense that you may or may not care about will be forthcoming. Why..? Because the devil will find work for idle hands to do (c) S. P. Morrissey.

Jay Electronica - Exhibit A (Video snippet)

After all the fuss over Exhibit C, Jay is dropping a video to his earlier Exhibit A track, which I'm rediscovering a love for, thanks primarily to these new visuals. Frustratingly, this is only a snippet.

Enjoy.

Grizzly Bear cover Hot Chip

Grizzly Bear, creators of one of my albums of 2009 (I really need to finish those posts), cover one of Hot Chip's big singles from a few years back and change it from a dancey pop-track into a subtle folky lament. And it works.

Grizzly Bear - Boy From School (Cover) mp3

Broken Bells - The High Road (Video)

"Something I spotted on The Sartorialist..."

I find myself saying that more and more.

This four are pretty damn cool. Beardy dude particularly so.

Click for close ups.

Scott 'The Sartorialist' Schuman spotted him at Costume National in Milan, took his photo, and pasted it into his blog (for those who didn't know what The Sartorialist was, that's it in a nutshell). Yes, it's all a bit vacuous, and it really is only images (very rarely, Schuman will comment on cut, colour, fit and effortlessness) but I like looking at 'nice things', and this blog ticks all the boxes. If you like clothes, design and people, then get familiar.
