Haha. Great video from Die Antwoord. Gets away from the getting played out ‘gangster’ 90s hip hop styles…

Laura Nyro is so wonderful. I love her version of this song (with LaBelle):

Jesus.

I really don't want what they're having, though I admires the skill.

Here they are a few months back, playing at Real Groovy on a Saturday afternoon …

Those in-stores are a lot of fun.

the new video for ‘Fatty Boom Boom’ by Die Antwoord, featuring Lady Gaga

I don't think I was old enough to watch that.

Me too. Love it. I am actually really surprised that hame has never mentioned her to me.

You know when I said that Cars video was weird? I meant the new video for 'Fatty Boom Boom' by Die Antwoord, featuring Lady Gaga:

Oh Russell. That Esther Phillips remix is funkaLICIOUS.

It's actually only a re-edit, so the sounds you hear are the sounds on the 1976 album — it's just restructured and remastered.

It's an incredible track — and the lyrics (about drug addiction and temptation) are compelling too. I need to…

Does anyone else find that the embedded the audience player stops shortly into songs and pops up a wee error message saying to try again later? Been doing it for me consistently for a few weeks.

Not for me. Can you get to me with your OS/browser/ISP details so I…

Nice that you’re off to gigs with jimmy the kid.

It's great! He loves the music the people-watching.

I gotta see beach pigs … sounded fun.

When you're first band up and you get crowd-surfing ...

I gotta see beach pigs … sounded fun.

Yeah, they added a certain edginess to the proceedings. There could hardly have been three more contrasting performance styles on the night. And Russell is right, Beach Pigs really brought it.

Huh, just heard Estere interviewed on RDU. She seems cool. I like that she works most creatively in her PJs. :-)

Thanks Sacha and Lilith, and glad to be able to spread the photos around Russell. Will post some more later maybe.

I do not mind you saying at all. Indeed, I am grateful for the heads-up.

not so secret, you saying?

have to say I'm slightly dubious about that Critics Award. not wanting to dismiss the qualities of Watercolours but I think the makeup of the panel always made the outcome more likely than not. good luck to them though...

and while not really related to anything except maybe all things…

That Cars video really is strange! The boobies (and moobies) are the least peculiar part.
