Last month, we were able to catch the ridiculously talented Theophilus London over at Santos, for the Hype Machine/Baeblegum CMJ Party. Who knew so much radness could be exerted at 4pm in the afternoon! We've got the chills reminiscing on his effortlessly cool performance, along with being introduced to new tunes. Along with his new trio'd troupe, Chauffeur , which also hosts Mark Ronson and Sam Sparro,...
Following his de-trousering by David Walliams a couple of weeks ago, Mark Ronson has been keen to keep a low profile - although not sure a crushed velvet mustard suit is the way to do that. Mark was snapped...
Everyone wants to be remixed by Kissy Sell Out. But after doing some amazing tricks with records from Dragonette, Chromeo, Calvin Harris and Mark Ronson, the British "electro-pop musical prodigy" has been touring and playing major festival in Europe this...
Underground hip-hop reveres A Tribe Called Quest, but in a post-Kanye West world, there’s no longer any shame in both blowing up and going pop. Take Washington D.C.’s Wale, for example. After building a serious buzz through mixtapes like 100 Miles & Running and the vaguely Seinfeld -themed The Mixtape About Nothing— and after signing with Mark Ronson’s Allido label—Wale...
Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra discusses artistic philosophy and the need poorly made music as a contrast to good music. (via Ignantwitted) The masses of the people think the music industry is like a get rich scheme now. Having a beat machine and rhyming is like the new jump shop or the new 40 yard dash. That’s [...] Related posts: Rhymefest & Mark Ronson – Man In The Mirror (Dedication to...
Here are some new photos I found of Mischa Barton with James Franco (Spider-Man) and Frida Giannini taken Oct. 23 at the Gucci afterparty for the “Gucci Icon-Temporary” New York Store opening at the Bowery Hotel in New York City. Giannini is the creative director for Gucci. As a different approach to retail, Gucci launched its latest pop-up shop style endeavor with their Gucci Icon-Temporary...
Unsigned British bands could reach the top of the charts, through a new music download site that has won approval from the Official Chart Company to register its tracks as sales. Ooizit.com, which went live this week, costs £9.97 per month to bands, which can promote and sell their music direct to fans through links to Facebook and MySpace pages. The artists keep all of the royalties. The company...
If you usually associate southside Irish stalwarts The Tossers with their alcohol-fueled St. Patrick's day sets at Metro, you get a 3-month-early preview of those gigs when they take the stage near midnight on New Years Eve at Reggies Rock Club . The Tossers have been keeping something of a low profile through the second half of this year, and the NYE gig will be their first show in 4 months, which...
Here's a new playlist for your Spotify browser (because I enjoyed making the last one): November tunes . Discovering Vampire Weekend, White Lies (thanks Joe) and finding some classics from Goo Goo Dolls and Genesis have been the highlights this month. I must make more time for the Muse album, which sounds incredible. You will also find some Switchfoot, Killers and a track from Mark Ronson's album Version...
Wale talks trying to nab a Drake and CuDi collab that Jay-Z passed on, as well as being played a Kanye beat CD while on tour with Jay and Mark Ronson. Attention Deficit is in stores today!
Wale talks to Rap-Up TV about being on tour with Mark Ronson & Jay in Europe and hearing a beat CD Kanye (and Plain Pat) played for them backstage with “Jockin’ Jay-Z,” “History,” “A Star Is Born” and one another song on it with Cudi on the hook. He says he wanted “A Star Is Born” [...]
With appearances by Lady Gaga, Bun B, Gucci Mane, Marsha Ambrosius, Chrisette Michele, Jazmine Sullivan and K'Naan and production handled by heavyweights Mark Ronson, the Neptunes, Cool & Dre, 9th Wonder and TV on The Radio's Dave Sitek, expectations are high. And it's cool for a debut, but there's plenty of potential for so much more here.
Before we do anything, let's move back to the 11th of July 2007. Wale, a rapper from Washington, D.C I never heard of before released his third mixtape "100 Miles & Running". I enjoyed the ''W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E' because 'D.A.N.C.E' was (and still is for that matter) the only track by the very overrated duo The Justice I could tolerate, loved 'Ice Cream Girl', loved that remix of Lily Allen's...
1. Matthew Rhys as Dylan Thomas in 'The Edge Of Love' 2. A selection of suits 3. Style Salvage 4. Lookbook 5. The Sartorialist (I wish I was this man) 6. The Sartorialist (mad props to this girl's layering) 7. Mark Ronson 8. The Man Himself- Bogart Filming went brilliantly yesterday, but I now find my rooms looking more like a bombsite than ever before. I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to cleaning,...
St Trinian's is the sixth in a long-running series of films based on the works of cartoonist Ronald Searle. The first four films form a series, starting with The Belles of St Trinian's in 1954, with sequels in 1957, 1960, 1966 and 1980. The 2007 release, coming 27 years after the last entry, and 53 years after the first film, is a rebooting of the franchise, rather than a direct sequel, with certain
