Soo much Cool Kids wednesday!
Up front we gots The Cool Kids x Nike x Footlocker x Grotesk colab. And wait, is that (among less important others) El Heat’s Chris Bosh in the joint? Yessir.
After the jump there’s a parody clip for the Chicago/Detroit based “new black Beastie Boys”. Plus a free download of Bundle Up thanks to everybody’s favourite label, Green Label Sound.

Fight For Your RIght Revisited trailer.
We’ve been looking forward to the MCA directed, Beastie Boys promo film since before we even knew it existed. The cast is ridicilis. With hopefully a plot to match. And I could keep yabbering on forever but it’s best that I shut up and let you watch.

The Black Lips know how to make Modern Art.
Apparently the secret is LSD. In the latest clip from their Mark-Ronson-produced-sophomore, Arabia Mountain, the band trip balls with giant squids, skulls ‘n’ flags and dream of blowing shit up.
Not how I was planning on spending my afternoon, but monkey see…

All 3:41:13 of LCD @ MSG.
For the hermits out there, LCD Soundsystem announced ages ago that they’re throwing in the towel. Tears were shed. Riots. Etc.
As a parting gift, the band let Pitchfork stream the whole performance from Madison Square Gardens. If you’re an idiot like me, you missed it, and awoke today to the whole world (including hilarity from Aziz Ansari) hashtagging about it.
Thankfully, some pirate had the genius to rip it and plonk it on the Tube. Now it’s here. And pretty soon the whole office will be getting innocuous.

All we wanna do is listen to Two Wounded Birds.
I know I get excited about new bands. A LOT. But I’ve got a good feeling about TWB. How can you go wrong with easy-to-swoon-along-to-hooks like:
Well let’s go go go go go-oh-oh.
Ye-aaah do do do do do do dooo.
Ooo ooo oo.
What I wanna wana wana wana do ooo oooo.
Ye-aaah. Life’s not so hard, it’s… coo-oooh—oool.
Moving along. Below you’ll find a pic of the british four piece looking exactly how you’d expect them to. Along with a few embedded surf-rock Sounclouds.

Wolf Gang and Kyla La Grange get accoutical.
With the office bluetooth speakers locked to my iMac, I’ve been force feeding everyone at M&C Saatchi their daily intake of Wolf Gang.
Now, I’m not sure if this will result in a collective cheer when his album drops later this year. Or if I’ll have a musical coup on my hands any minute.
Let’s test it out with today’s bonus acoustic track, in which Wolf Gang plays with Kyla La Grange.

TV On The Radio - Will Do.
There’s nothing you can do to contain our excitement for the new TVOTR album.
NOTHING!!!

The Milk - (All I Wanted Was) Danger.
All I want is a voice like The Milk’s Rick Nunn. And a Milk LP. And a little danger.
Also, this: The Milk - Danger Nextmen Remix Feat. Random Impulse by The Nextmen

Mark Ronson is Bliss.
Oop! Left some words out there. That should read: Mark Ronson & The Business INTL cover Tame Impala’s Solitude Is Bliss. Damn Auto-correct.
Slightly relevant side note: Bec and I hit the Palace the other week for what can only be described as one of the BEST GIGS IN EVERERERER. And (completely irrelevant side note:) I fell in love with Ronson’s lead vocalist Rose Elinor Dougall.

KORA’s story ain’t over.
It’s been forever since we’ve heard anything from New Zealand’s funk ‘n’ bass kings, Kora. And with a smooth new vid and a bunch of upcoming shows, you’d almost think they had an album on its way.
Let’s cross some fingers, thank Jennifer Raoult of Film The Music for the Shadowy images and return to baggin’ the kiwi dub scene, shall we?

Friday recipe for success: 4 parts Black Lips, 1 part Mark Ronson.
So hands up who’s anxiously snapping M&C branded pencils in anticipation for the Ronson-produced future-indie-cult success Arabia Mountain? *hand skyrockets, dislocating writer’s shoulder*
Here’s a teaser - the first video in which the Black Lips party on a boat (sans flipping dolphins and shit), with co-indie-darlings Vivian Girls. etc, etc. I can’t speak for the whole agency, but I just got a whiff of the weekend. 7:59:23 and counting.

ps: hands up if you’ve seen the BL tear apart a Brooklyn club? *other hand skyrockets, rendering writer useless for Friday’s remaining 7:53:17*
Not your typical V-Day mixtape.
It’s been forever since we’ve done an M&C mix. Actually, to be honest, we’ve only ever done one. And to be more honest, don’t expect one anytime soon due to our current madnessness. Instead, here’s one from Bobby aka The Fox Is Black.
I can’t really tell if it’s heavy romantic, or if he’s just been ditched. Either way, great choones. And only a day late.

Time out! Let’s dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Wow. We’re busy. But not too busy for Playmobil Joy Division! Let’s painstakingly reenact the 1979 live Peel Session of Transmission, frame by frame, shall we?

Blind Faith for dubstep.
I left my 90’s rave-tastic-ness days behind me. In the 90’s. In Christchurch. But one watch of Chase & Status’ super realistic/nostalgic clip for Blind Faith got me back there real quicksticks.
It’s another hit for director, Daniel Wolfe, who’s had a smashing year already. And it sounds like C&S have been smashing it too. Below you’ll find End Credits, feat. Plan B. Noice noise.
