Got sent an 'imaginary mash up' from a guy by the name of Passport Royale and thought it was worth sharing. Weird Al Jankovic made a name for himself in the nineties and early 2000s with his brand of "Polka Power" were he would sing mash ups with an accordion and backing band, and it's good to see his influence has rubbed off albeit it in Sweden. This song is an imaginary mash up of Yaesayer, 2pac, Blur, Rockwell, Eurythmics, Public Enemy, Smashing Pumpkins, and Prince. Sweet Dreams Of Somebody Watching One California Bullet [...]

Yeah, B.O.B. finally got his major label release, and I have to admit: It's pretty damn good. It's an obvious attempt to hit all the markets, with appearances by a major-label rapper (who sounds indie: Lupe Fiasco), the pop girl of the month (who sounds indie: Hayley Williams), a veteran of the groundbreaking indie days (Rivers Cuomo), and the once-great-now-struggling Eminem, among others, and a cover that looks like something Kanye would drop. And yeah, B.O.B. deserved better than this. But again, it's pretty good for a highly-produced, highly-marketable major label debut, and when Bobby Ray is allowed to shine, [...]

We'll let the music do most of the talking for the second post of this new area of Mahogany but we will include our favourite quote of all time by the legend that was Hunter S. Thompson. "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson --------------------- Logistics - Kaleidoscope (Jeuce [...]
What a weekend! Started Friday night off with Paul at Axe in Venice on Abbot Kinney. Great food (those potatoes!) and even better conversation (per usual). First part of Saturday was spent working on a certain top secret business plan that is as challenging as it is enthralling. Decided that rushing [...]
No somos tan frescos y a lo mejor ya todos vieron el video 'Born Free' de M.I.A, producido por Romain Gavras que ha hecho maravillas como en 'Stress' de Justice y en 'The Age Of The Understatement' de The Last Shadow Puppets. El video está brutal y fue quitado casi de inmediato de youtube, pero se los dejo aquí para que se entretengan y vean morir a un poco de readheads. Esto nuevo de M.I.A. está genial, siento una que hay una tensión de gritarle al mundo 'esto no es lady gaga, esto es realidad' y [...]

M.I.A. revealed to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe on his Monday show that the first official single off her fourth (STILL untitled) album will be track number 7 called 'XXXO' and it will be released on iTunes the 11th of May. She told Zane quickly via telephone that " It's kinda [about] being disconnected in L.A. and not having cell phone service or just not being able to kinda leave there for 18 months " and being isolated, probably has something to do with them tweets we saw back in late February. Hype Williams is [...]
Passporte Royale - Born Free A stellar take on MIA's new single. Passporte Royale recently reinterpreted a classic Oasis tune. Visit Passporte Royale on MySpace. MP3: Passporte Royale - Born Free

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if that's how we're playing this game of life, then my boy Passporte Royale is straight up winning at everything. Having already featured a few of his remakes and remixes, each with a significantly awesome and unique Balkan brass flare, this morning, he takes the blue ribbon yet again with his take on the most talked about song of the past week. When asking him if he had a MySpace or any site to [...]
Stockholm musical virtuoso Passporte Royale is no stranger to the scene. Inspired by musicians like Fanfare Ciocarlia, Mahala Rai Banda, 17 Hippies, LaBrassBanda, Shantel, Balkan Beat Box and so on…his respect for variety, influences and different cultures culminates in each of his original tracks and remixes. Touring the world has garnished him exceptional [...]

I'm still on a high from an influx of rad music in the ol' inbox from over the weekend through yesterday. And it continues on into this morning, with a number of cool new vids, tracks, bits of news and the like. Yay. R.I.P. Guru. link [...]

I was sent this remix yesterday, and at first listen, I dismissed it as a bit of a mess. And then my shuffled iTunes playlist kept going back to it, almost as if to say "Um, c'mon...give it a chance...please?" So I went back this morning and listened in full again. Let's just say, I wouldn't be writing this post if I hated it, ya dig? First thing you'll notice about Passporte Royale? There's 100% nothing to link [...]
