In keeping with celebrating New York today. Here is a video from Saadi & Bajah
“According to Saadi, “Lights Up NYC” deals with the relationship every artist has with the struggle to live and create in NYC. It was inspired Pupa Bajah’s story of coming to New York with the Dry Eye Crew from Sierra Leone. Bajah and Boshra met at an Antibalas show in Brooklyn, immediately went back to Saadi’s studio in the East Village and ”Lights Up NYC” was born.”
I’m only going to watch something if I keep seeing the same name popping up on blogs in my inbox and such. So here it Tyler , The Creator’s video for “Yonkers” . An aptly titled song because via Stereogum @fucktyler: “To People Who Wonder Why I Named It YONKERS; I’m A Fan Of NY, And When i Made The Instrumental, It Reminded Me Of My First Time Out There.”
Yonkers? I never really thought that Yonkers was the ultimate representation of New York. But Lady GaGa is from Yonkers and her new single “Born This Way” was released today via Target . So maybe that tie in was the reason for the midnight release of Tyler, The Creator’s video.
Tyler The Creator showed up on the Lykke Li’s “I Follow You” remix yesterday too. This guy is clearly working all angles.
The trailer for this movie seems to incorporate some of my favorite things.
1. Grindhouse Cinema
2. The Black Keys – who are featured in this movie. As is the dinosaur puppet from the “Next Girl” video ( both Film and the Black Keys video directed by Chris Marrs Piliero)
3. Sir.Todd.Bridges

I’ve recently started a webseries interviewing friends and colleagues I’ve known and worked with over the years. This episode features Gordon Chambers esteemed Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter. Gordon Chambers was kind enough to sit with me in his parlor in Brooklyn and show me the piano that supports his creativity. Gordon also told stories of working [...]
Fake Blood Remixes Noah and the Whale
fakeblood.mp3I can’t say if Noah and the Whale’s L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N benefited being remixed by Fake Blood. The remix takes the song in a completely different direction. I need to understand more about Fake Blood to determine what that direction could be. Check out the original then let me know how Fake Blood got to where they did sonically.
Last Day On Earth will be released March 7th, 2011
