"I never liked music until I heard my own." – Felix Cartal That's one hell of statement. To be absolutely clear, Felix Cartal was joking when he said it. But listening to his debut LP, Popular Music (Dim Mak, Feb. 23), it's hard not to wonder if he wasn't just a little bit serious. Packed from start to finish with some truly dirty dance tracks, Popular Music is Felix's definitive statement — a defense of heavy beats, distorted melodies, and epic buildups and breakdowns. And starting in February, Felix will be touring North [...]

Popular Music will be released via Dim Mak on February 23, and leading up to release there is a string of tour dates (all are listed after the jump). Felix Cartel tour dates: Feb 11: [...]

PETA sent a letter to Kelis, asking her not to wear fur. Kelis responded like Dappy might : There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It's unfortunate but it's part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious. And after doing a very minimal amount of research....... I found out that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane! Lol this chicks [...]
