This track is from Mulekes Piranha. That translates loosely into something like, 'boys with slutty lips'. The song is called 'Bicicleta Humana' which translates literally into Human Bicycle. Have you ever ridden one? These boys sure have:
We love baile funk! Ever amazing.
Thanks to Palugan (again!)
Interrompemos a programação desse blog para fazer um post em português. Uma de nossas bandas favoritas, o trio inglês We Have Band, está prestes a fazer show único no Brasil - mais especificamente no club paulistano Hot Hot. A festa que será uma palhinha do que virá na nova casa noturna de São Paulo, o Estudio Emme, contará com a presença dos nossos amigos do blog Dominódromo (Karen Kopitar e Fernando Araújo) e a dupla Database, conhecidos da geração Hype Machine, abrindo e fechando o show.
O motivo deste post estar em português é que nós fomos agraciados com um par de convites para sortear para os leitores brasileiros desse blog. E como nós estamos em cima da hora - a casa abre a partir dàs 23h - vamos fazer uma promoção relâmpago no nosso twitter.
A primeira pessoa que responder corretamente no twitter (tem que seguir o IM//UR, é claro) o nome da primeira música do trio que entrou na coletânea Kitsuné leva. E se você não for rápido o bastante, vai lá e paga a entrada que não tá caro, vai. Cinquentinha pra ver ao vivo uma das melhores estreias do ano é ok.

We love Diplo. The mastermind behind Bonde do Role, M.I.A., Major Lazer and many other third world inspired projects has given you a lot during these last years and now it's time for you to finally pay him back - if you can create a suit for him.
Tired of wearing $100 dollar suits from Topshop (his words, not ours), Diplo went to Ford Men in New York City before a Major Lazer gig to have his measurements taken so you - if your name is Tom Ford, Prada or Gucci, he's named dropped you specifically - can give him the perfect new suit.
Watch his measurements being taken in the video below and help him if you can. I know somebody else who writes on this blog that'd love to measure him up...
They've been twitting the shit out of it the last day or so, but this is just too good not to post. HEALTH went swimming with dolphins off the coast of Perth during their Australian tour.
<3 HEALTH.
P.S. Did you ever see the one where Jupiter gets dunked on by a massive black guy? It makes me chortle and totally warms my heart (as much as something like that is possible):
Ever since Jamaica re-emerged into all of our lives, that joke/lame pick-up line has kinda been stuck in my head (SORRAY Y'ALL). You know it? It goes a little something like:
LAME PERSON (i.e. me, who keeps perpetuating this inanity): You must be Jamaican...........cause Jamaican me crazy!
Depending on the context, said lame person will then either cue an asinine guffaw or do a smooth lay back and single eyebrow raise with a smirk and a nod, which in turn will elicit a well deserved *FACE PALM* - at the very least.
ANYWAY, to the subject at hand. One of my favourite songstresses, Lykke Li has been chilling and illing in Jamaica to gather her thoughts before she went back into the studio to record her second album. From her blog, it sounded like she loved the country and it's people hardcore and is now suffering a little bit of post holiday blues. Chin up Lykke! We can't wait to hear new things from you!
In the meantime, here's the first live performance EVER of that track 'Possibility' she did for Twilight; it's played when Bella is all morose and poo-faced for an agonisingly long bit, the camera spinning circles around her whilst the seasons change (Edward had just left her though, you'd be totes devastated too, innit).
Check out some more of her holiday snaps below, and peep the set here
We always feel kinda funny about birthdays.
But I guess, just like weddings and funerals, the act of commemorating or celebrating such an event is really only for everyone else's benefit, innit? So of course we couldn't let this, our 1st birthday/anniversary/whatever pass (though like they said over at Bigstereo who's 5th birthday it is - happy birthday to y'all too, pops - who even knows how ancient it makes us, let alone the BS boys, in blog years) without giving you, our beloved and faithful readers, credit for having such amazing taste to read along, as well as a big THANK YOU for making it here with us.
So, YEAH, thank you! We love you long time //

So Sky Larkin have arrived safely back home in the UK...but not before throwing together another little video of the noise, the drama and dream of recording an album with John Goodmanson. Check Nestor, Dug and Harkin out in the video below, looking all cute and musician-like in Seattle and stuffs:
This was from a few days ago, maybe even last weekend, but it was such perfect weather that we walked all the way downtown and then happened upon everyone's favourite carwash on the way back.
Just three days to go until we head back to reality now. Feeling kind of down because I don't want to leave, though I have been listening to deftones a LOT so that might have something to with it.
Nah, I'm sure well be back soon.
Last day today, boo...
I'm totally ready for home, but also really genuinely sad to be leaving Seattle.
I think we've spent just enough time here to start settling in, so without trying to be too clichéd an weepy, it kind of feels like we're leaving home.
Nah, I'm sure we'll be back soon, if only to see the Fremont Troll (seriously, look it up) which we still haven't managed to do in the two months we must have collectively spent here.
Anyway, here is a flattering snap of us taken by the man Johnny G on the hallowed steps of Bogroll Studio. Good times.
I hope y'all enjoyed the pictures of stuff I thought was kind of interesting.
See you next time!

Ahoy!
Healthy eating is an important part of making a record, particularly
during the recording process (and afterwards when I get to sit around
whilst the guitars and singings are being laid down).
But along with eating all my fruit and vegetables I also go out of the
way to sample the most synthetic, chemically enhanced and headache
inducing soft drinks known to mankind.
So, without further ado...
Exhibit A: Dr. Pepper Diet Cherry and/or Vanilla
Verdict:
Well, this tastes neither like cherry or vanilla which I think is the fault of it being diet, but it was such a tempting mix of flavour I simply couldn't resist. I'll make sure to keep an eye out for it's full sugar brother.
Here is a picture of the space needle and a section of the world
famous Seattle monorail! (plus some satellite dishes in the middle for
good measure).
9th March 2010, Seattle
Seattle fact of the day:
the two tracks of the monorail were designed so that two trains could go in opposite directions for the convenience of everyone. However, the tracks are just slightly too close together, so that when the two trains passed round a corner they would actually crash into each other. This renders one half of the tracks useless to this day.
Good job Seattle!
On the plus side however, the space needle is one hundred percent awesome.

The winner. By a thousand miles.
You can actually smell this stuff in the air hours after opening it.
It has that glutenous texture of regular Dew, however it tastes like the slimy offspring of engine oil from the Terminator's ballsack and a cherry from the year 3000.
Basically, mankind just isn't ready for this stuff yet.
I've also just read that there is an even more cherried version available at some place called Wienerschnitzel. I'm intrigued, but also quite afraid... How much cherry is too much?
Just been saying goodbye to my chicks, they live next door and have been reliably waking me up more or less around sunrise every day until now. We've moved up in the world, home is now a swanky apartment with real beds for the remainder of our stay.
Pretty stoked.

But seriously, have you ever seen a finer chicken specimen? I thought not, that guy is a champ.
Just did a quick sweep up.
I must say I'm a
bit disappointed in myself. I had expected the
drumstick mortality rate to be much higher (and therefore more
photogenic)...
Oh well, there's always the next record!

Just one week left in Seattle now. The thought would bring a tear to my
eye if my face wasn't already covered in precipitation of every form.
