Last week, a new viral sensation 'hit the internet.' It is some rap group from South Africa, and no1 was able to tell whether or not they were 'real.' Does n e 1 know what the deal with Die Antwoord is? Not sure if they are ternative, post-TheStreets/eminem indie rap, or just some meme that was packaged by a high priced marketing firm who paid a huge tastemaker to blog about them. Watched some rap video that was supposed to be a 'raw profile' of them. Only really feel confused. Not in a [...]
Here we have the video (dirty version!) for "Enter the Ninja," from burgeoning Internet happening Die Antwoord, who deftly combine Flight of the Conchords, the creepier Aphex Twin videos, the I...

HEADS UP Spirit Animal w/ Des Roar, Imagine Dragons and All Wrong and The Plans Change @ The Roxy Mon 2/8 ( $10 "bottomless beers" -?-if you go to the Roxy, please report back on this) Apparently it's Free Music Monday around here. We're passing this one along more out of curiosity than full fledged endorsement. This unfortunate titled-and equally unfortunate artwork- Brazen Brand is a free remix and covers record download. There is clearly some good taste in cover songs selection. But as far [...]
AS WE GET OLDER dreams of stardom inevitably slip away - who wants to be stomping round a stage at an age when a nice snooze holds more appeal than a line of cocaine? But what about management? How hard can that be? Surely you can just look at the fictional likes of Spinal Tap's Ian Faith and Flight Of The Conchords' Murray Hewitt and do the exact opposite and thus guarantee success. But in fact, things can go very wrong indeed, as these case studies show. 1. Brian Epstein The [...]

These are dark days. Rain. Cold. Darkness. Unemployment. Swine flu. And it's times like these that call for futuristic rap crews like Die Antwoord . Coming on like some twisted Chernobylesque Chris Cunningham, Flight of the Conchords, Chris Morris, Tim Westwood, David Lynch hybrid love child, Die Antwoord hail from ever-cooler South Africa, and have come to give us the fokkin antwoord . Based in his grandmother's house, beat-monster DJ Hi-Tek (he has [...]
Quality Singer / Songwriters are a rare breed - for me only three are worth your hard earned money - Ben Folds, Joshua Radin and the wonderful former Mercury nominee Tom McRae . He's got a new album coming out in February, which is sure to be a fantastic collection of melancholy and stories, so put on your PJs, snuggle up in your favourite chair, pop on an album (I'd reccomend his self-titled debut), and read our interview with Tom.... Hello Tom. What are you up to today? Packing up my [...]

Björk and Michel Gondry are up to… something
French director/screenwriter Michel Gondry and Icelandic musical genius Björk are no strangers to each other. In all, they've worked together on seven of the Icelandic pixie's music videos. Plus, before Charlotte Gainsbourg got the role, Björk was almost in 2007's The Science of Sleep . Well, as it turns out, even though Gondry is hard at work on The Green Hornet with Seth Rogen, he's once again feeling the need to make something wonderful and weird with Bjork. According to Entertainment Weekly (via TFB ), the [...]

Brit Awards 2011 shortlist announced: NME awards shortlist published
Well, it's as good a joke as it was last year. Although, to be honest, this year's shortlists for the NME prizes is so conservative, I suspect even the Brits jury might be ashamed of it.
