Invasion - The Master Alchemist
This is probably the most exciting album we've heard in a while. Can you imagine a metal band not made by (and for) teenagers who worship Iron Maiden like their sisters worship Miley Cyrus? Invasion's The Master Alchemist is a compilation of 12 songs created with noisy guitars and fearless female vocals that will teach future generations about the emerging punk attitude; all with a metal sound and new rave style that might actually be the future of hairy metal. And we all thought heavy metal had no future...
Handsome Clothing
No matter what part of the world you live in, you really can't ever have enough tees. Specially white ones. And black ones. With cool graphic prints on them. Meanwhile, in hipster-dom, crystals are still an ever popular theme, but in this case, we prefer this one in particular from Canadian based operation Handsome Clothing, christened the 'Lunar Crystal' (//Christel) tee. 'Handsome', despite being a kind of old school, highly civilised type of word, does describe this tastefully hip label justly. They also have a darn good-looking blog too, so go check that out while you're at it.
Burn Notice
Burn Notice is a USA Network series about a spy who got burned - which they remind you of in every scene. Although following the
basic style of American television, the series will catch all you dudes out there (sorry, girls won't like this) who like watching things explode in the most diverse ways. And like any good spy show, it teaches you how to make homemade bombs with boring things (a modern version of MacGyver). Plus Bruce Campbell is a lead character. And he's looking all Morrissey like.
Neu
Imagine a youth house transformed into a club. Now charge 4 reais for a (long neck) beer and from 10 to 15 reais to get in. If you did it all right this would be called Neu (read in German) and actually already exists in São Paulo. My favorite night there is Friday, when they host Explode, a party where they basically play third world inspired songs (from Vampire Weekend to the whole club rap scene from Baltimore). Some great underrated DJs play there from time to time, and when you least expect it, you might find yourself laying on the dancefloor busting out some drunky town moves.
A Picture of Dorian Gray
So yes, we've been wayyyy slack in updating the We//R\\Stuffs, which is why I'm going to say now that we began and finished Oscar Wilde's A Picture of Dorian Gray well before we knew it was a film. This is a classic novel about art, vanity, beauty and the consequences of such. 'A Picture of Dorian Gray' is brilliant; exploring and exploiting the potentially corrosive characters of beauty and what beauty can do to a character. Navigating through the deeply dark and light sides of human nature, Wilde's novel is a wickedly good study of society, and echoes with a cackling delight (and despair) at humanity's foibles.
Something Golden

Le Corps Mince de Francoise

 

The first time I paid attention to this trio was when I heard they were slated to play the Jean Charles de Castelbajac's catwalk - Monsieur always knows where it's at.

The super gimmicky track titles of their first couple of tracks they released ('Cool and Bored', 'Ray-Ban Glasses') made me shy away from Le Corps Mince de Françoise initially; as well as how long it takes me to type in their name... but in the case of 'Something Golden', I can take it.

 

Having worked on their album with the likes of Switch, evident in the rolling beat of 'Something Golden', I find that there's also something much closer to Telepathé about the Finnish trio in this particular track, rather than their previous comparisons to Yelle, CSS and Chicks on Speed. Super cute, super accessible, and makes you feel infinitely cool to be listening to it, it's a hot hipster track with pop appeal.

 

Le Corps Mince de Françoise - Something Golden

 

The single is unleashed on December 7th with remixes from Renaissance Man, Heartbreak and Oleo via Kitsuné, but check Lenny Picko's remix; which werks the robots underwater angle to make a sexy androids kinda atmosphere for the track. Pick it up below and slink away to the dirty squat bass synths.
