Link: http://play.converse.com/play/ show/?p=1614 Converse and other brands with huge marketing budgets doing the thing where they hire bloggable artists, then get them to make some MP3, then the brand gets to 'release the MP32 in order to get blog buzz from bloggy woggies. Not sure what to call these things, maybe just 'brand record labels.' I guess the concept is that if I 'like these artists', I will like their brand or something. Converse threw 'mad bank' at Kid Cudi, Bethany Consentino of Best Coast, and [...]

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I actually knew how to play an instrument. Would I try to start a rock band? Would it be more prog, or just garage? This contest is to spread the word for those of you that love converse or you kids that can actually play an instrument, or perhaps interested spreading the word about your band (s). Converse and Journeys have teamed up to hookup some lucky winners with some studio time, some shoes, or both. There's more information below about that, but for my contest, I have a [...]

When designers collaborate with artist in the "electro" scene its usually a match made in fashion heaven. Unfortunately in this case its more of a match made in Walmart Don't get me wrong I LOVE all three of the parties involved individually, but this song/ video was sort of a disappointment. JPG (Jean Paul Gaultier) has released some of the most influential collections in fashion history, add that to one of the most successful line of fragrances for men and women [...]
Eko is right. There is fuck all to post on. Ciara's album has leaked; but she really doesnt appeal to me one bit. Anyway, I was schooling my mate on just how good N*E*R*D are and stumbled across this video. Turns out its extremely old but alas, its a fuckin chooooon! Incase you were wondering its My Drive Thru by N*E*R*D featuring Santogold Santigold & Julian Casablancas. Yes I did do that on purpose, Santogold has now officially changed her name to Santigold. Ridiculous I know. [...]

Straight up, Santogold is popping off like crazy right now. She released her eponymous debut earlier this year and people have been remixing Creator, L.E.S. Artistes, and Lights Out since late April. Just recently she released an EXTREMELY popular collaboration with Jay-Z called Brooklyn (Go Hard) and it has received high praise - even Kanye West was talking about it on his blog just a few days ago (ok, it's actually self promotion - he produced the track!) She has an awesome sound, blending obvious deep dub and dancehall influences with instrumental pop, grungey rock, and [...]
This dream team is part of a fashion-campaign. So what! Great hypnotic N.E.R.D. produced song, great video and a collaboration possibly invented in heaven! >>>SANTOGOLD & JULIAN CASABLANCAS & PHARRELL - my drive thru (Yousendit)
According to the latest Strokes newsletter, the band will be reuniting in 2009 to record, tour, etc. But for those who can't wait that long for their Strokes fix, check out what the guys have been up to while the band has been on hiatus. Lead Singer Julian Casablancas teamed up w/ Pharrell and Santogold this summer on the track 'My Drive Thru' to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Converse's Chuck Taylor's. Rhythm Guitarist Albert Hammond Jr (not to be confused with his 'It-Never-Rains-In-Southern-Ca lifornia-singing father) released his second solo album [...]

- Frequenze Video Preview - I piu attenti di voi l'avranno già fugacemente sentita per qualche decina di secondi tra uno spot ed un'altro. Si tratta di "My Drive Thru" , il nuovo singolo registrato nientepopodimenoche da re Mida Pharrell Williams (N.E.R.D.) in compagnia di Julian Casablancas degli Strokes e Miss Santogold , utilizzato in esclusiva [...]

Grande première ce matin: c'est la première fois que j'écris mon post à la terrasse d'un café, en plein soleil, lunettes de soleil vissées sur le nez. Magnifique la technologie d'aujourd'hui ! Bref, passons aux choses sérieuses, à savoir la bande son qui va acccompagner votre dimanche. De Robyn et sa pop r&b, en passant par El Perro Del Mar, Miss Li ou encore Peter Bjorn and John, les suédois ont tout compris en matière de pop. Mais c'est sur la belle et talentueuse Lykke Li que j'ai envie de [...]
Hello! I think I used to write here once? My name is Keith? I sometimes shared things about music. Oh, yes. This Converse ad is rad, and should be emulated. Marketers - pay attention.
I challenge you not to love this song. Converse are engaging in a pretty full-on marketing campaign to celebrate the Chuck Taylor's 100 years in business , and have arranged a slew of music artist collaborations and resulting singles. First off the mark is N.E.R.D. with Julian Casablancas and Santogold with the track My Drive Thru. Despite complaints that the guitar riff is boring, I actually quite like it. It's called sampling, people, get used to it. I think my favourite thing about this track though is the drum sounds - maybe it's [...]
Emerging from the New York electro rock scene the band Automatic Duo combines quirky synthesizer melodies with rock'n'roll guitar riffs and danceable beats. Responsible for this massive sound are Chance Drzewucki, Matt Rockteacher, a pair of Brooklyn based musicians who list influences from Prince and Ray Charles to the Flaming Lips. Their debut album "Fake History for Outlandish Times" sounds surprisingly fresh. Download: Automatic Duo - Ain't Got A Lover Buy: [...]
Santogold w/ Pharrell and Julian Casablancas My Drive Thru (.mp3) Converse celebrates its 100th anniversary...seriously? They had Chuck Taylors in 1908?? Converse - Connectivity Everything that I like: Music, UCLA, NBA, Lost, Los Angeles, whatever I like
'My Drive-Thru' - Pharrell, Julian Casablancas (Strokes) e Santogold Estas três alminhas juntaram-se para fazer um tune para comemorar o centenário da Converse. Aproveitando a boa onda do sempre ocupado Pharrell (que andou talvez demasiado tempo a salvar o disco da Madonna), o 'tempo a mais' de Julian Casablancas, que não há meio de nos dar mais um disco com os seus Strokes e a popularidade de Santogold (para quem não ouviu, fica o single L.E.S. Artistes ), saiu este pequeno grande single, à antiga, óptimo para colorir um Verão onde já não se [...]
The picture up above is an action shot of the 2008 pop sensation Santogold getting down at SXSW, backed by the ever-productive DJ Diplo. I was one of the tiny specs in a large audience that showed up at the Fader party to catch the show, though I had absolutely no clue who/what Santogold was. Mind you this was a good month prior to the release of her debut album, which has since made its way near the top of the charts. Diplo produced a few of those Santogold tracks, and the two also collaborated on a [...]
Bling Bling....the homey Pharell Williams produced this tune alongside NERD and just released this new music video for it....shockingly it costed 120,000 USD! Looks like someone enjoys using Flame, Flash and a few other 3d tricks!!!
Miss Santi White aka Santogold stock continues to rise. Since I featured her Jools Holland performance [ here ] in May, she's appeared in the "Converse song" with Pharrell NERD and Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas (see embed below) and is now supporting Coldplay on their current North American tour shows she's not all hype after all. Or the hype shows no signs of faltering. I prefer to think it's the former. I've got her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge performance here, with new UK [...]
