Alicia Keys & Jack White Record New Bond Film Theme
Jack White of 'The White Stripes' fame and Alicia Keys of 'Good Lord, look at her!' fame have recorded the theme to the latest Bond flick, 'Quantum Of Solace'.
It's the first duet ever used as a Bond theme.
And that's the whole story... this post was just an excuse to use a picture of Miss Keys. Sue me.

A Tribe Called Quest - Scenario (Unreleased Version feat. the Native Tongues posse) mp3
Good lord. I would apologise for the quality, but this is mp3 gold dust, so I wont.De La Soul, Leaders of the New School, and Black Sheep jump on the original version of the CLASSIC "Scenario" posse cut from 'Low End Theory'. DJ Johnny Juice, who was there, reminisces on the session thus:
*
"Tribe Called Quest was doing ‘Scenario’. It was me, Dinco, Busta, Jarobi was there –everybody was in that motherfucker – Dres from Black Sheep was there, both of ‘em, Chris Lighty, Mase and Pos from De La, all them motherfuckers rhymed on ‘Scenario’. Everybody rhymed on it but Q-Tip, and the best motherfucker on that shit was Posdnuos. He fuckin’ destroyed it, and he ain’t even like the beat! And after he finished rhyming, everybody went back and rewrote their rhymes!"
*
I'm telling you... Pos is the emcee's emcee. Enjoy.

ebay Hoverboard Auction Starts at $30,000
Jesus Christ.
It doesn't actually fly, so who the hell would be willing to pay between $30,000 - $50,000 for a pink plank of wood? A fully operational Flux Capicitor... that's a different matter.

?uestlove x Nike = ?uestForce 1
Ahmir '?uestlove' Thompson, leader of the legendary Roots crew, has teamed up with everybody's favourite sweatshop conglomerate Nike to create shoes that he describes as "an extension of my personality". Looking at these, some critics might argue that he should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act next time he touches down in the UK.
*
There will be a limited number of these available, which is nothing unusual. What is unusual though, is that each pair will be sold in a sealed box, and ?uestlove has hinted on his blog that there is some kind of Willy Wonka Golden Ticket fuckery associated with the release. Anyway, he wanted his own shoe and he's got one. I'm pleased for him. He's a legend.

Oasis - Falling Down (Chemical Brothers Remix) mp3
New Oasis. Remixed by Tom and Ed.It's excellent, and makes me wonder if the Chemicals should produce all of their stuff from now on.

Madvillainy 2: The Box
So, Madlib has remixed some tracks and is putting it out as Madvillainy 2.When you get news like this, it's impossible to be disappointed, even though when M2 was first mooted, we thought it was all new Madlib and DOOM tracks. Not to be.
*
Then, Stones Throw hit us with the news that a special limited edition box-set will be available from 15th September (picture above) for the princely sum of $125, and containing a CD, a demo cassette, a t-shirt and a bunch of other shit that I covet like a lunatic.
You can pre-order until August 15th.
*
For those who cannot wait until then (or can't afford to spend 70 quid on a CD), go to their webstore and download a digital version for $10. I just did.

MF Doom & J Dilla - Sniper Elite mp3
Eventually it arrives.Stones Throw promised us this would be available at the end of June. Better late then never though. And it was almost never, as when I tried to buy this donwload from the Stones Throw webstore, I was told that only US Credit Cards could be accepted. Brit racists! Either way, enjoy the sound of two geniuses at work.
*
UPDATE: I understand this track is actually called 'Sniper Elite'.
I suppose 'Sniperlite' was a typo.

Bloc Party - Mercury mp3
New Bloc Party. They're sticking with the electronic sound that we heard on 'Flux'.I like the stutter effect on the tracks chorus... they've been saying they want to sound more urban, and this does just that.

Watchmen Trailer
The film of the graphic novel. THE graphic novel, by all accounts. It looks pretty good to me, but I never read the book so what would I know...

Terminator Salvation - Teaser Trailer
Christian Bale starring = Good
McG Directing = Bad
The Terminator music = Good
I'm scoring it 2-1 at this point, but do we really need another three Terminator flicks?
