Wu Tang Clan vs. The Beatles

Now this isn't a new concept, if you cast your brains back to 2004
you'll surely recall the hype that surrounded Dangermouses' project
which combined the Jay Z accapella's from The Black Album and a
series of samples from The White Album by The Beatles to create
The Grey Album. This was higly acclaimed at the time and has since become
a kind of cult collectors item, and I've seen them go for mundo mundo bucks on ebay!

Must admit I wasn't really feeling that, it was no doubt a good notion but
I like my hip hop with a bit more FUNK than Dangermouse managed to
wring from his sample base. And since he's done that we've had Jaydiohead
Sinatra vs. Biggie, Hendrix vs. Biggie and God knows how many others I
haven't even noticed spamming up the internets.

Anyway so being a Wu Connaisseur I kind of felt like I had to download this one
just in case it wasn't totally shit. Not listened yet and I'm a bit anxious to be honest...

Exit Through The Gift Shop Trailer

Some new film billed as 'The Ultimate Streetart Disaster Movie' and described by Banksy as "It's a film about a man who tried to make a film about me. Everything in it is true, especially the bits where we all lie."

No doubt it'll be interesting - if a little bit bizarre!

Man Bags (you're just gutted it's more stylish than yours...)

So my lovely older Sister got me a Freitag bag for Christmas this year!

These are really good, they are handmade from Truck Tarps, Seatbelts and Old inner Tubes, so they are really eco-freindly i suspect. Made by Swiss company called Freitag they have been around for about 15 years now, click here for a quick guide on how they are made.

And just for the record Man Bags are useful for many things. It seems some young ladies thought the idea of men with bags to be quite funny when it popped up in converstaion in the pub last night. This is no laughing matter at all, Man bags provide real men with some serious benefits. For instance it opens the possibilities of taking your lunch to work or carrying records about. Even transporting important tools between jobs and keeping your MP3 player safe, so its no joke. Right then!

DOOM
"A Taste of Sonar" London / Friday March the 5th 2010

A key figure in hip-hop, in Europe for the first time
DOOM is the new alias of the New York producer and rapper Daniel Dumile Thompson, who has previously worked under various pseudonyms including MF DOOM, VIKTOR VAUGHN, DANGER DOOM (with Danger Mouse) and MADVILLAIN (with Madlib). An essential figure for those with a taste for underground hip-hop on an outlandish tip, he always hides behind a Doctor Doom style villain's mask. His creation of his own universe based on old superhero comics and the mythology of Japanese monsters has given him a legendary aura and won over all types of fans. Among these are names that are more closely linked to rock: Thom Yorke, the main man in Radiohead, has remixed his track "GAZZILLION EAR" as a sign of his devotion to the masked superhero of rap. Sonar is bringing DOOM to London for his first live show in Europe, at the festival’s London event. His live shows are always a surprise wrapped inside a mystery, so it may well be a night to remember.

Mos Def - History

When Art Imitates Life

This is mad!

The Rza has gone all renaissance and painted some mad canvas type thing. Well i think he painted it, it doesn't really say. ODB and the Gza also cameo in the painting. I think it's pretty odd though.
