I didn’t know what Body Rollin’ was until I saw this video, and now I can’t stop thinking about it.
This new Crookers vid also has some good body-rollin’ action
Thanks to First Up and Trash Menagerie for the vids.
I don’t really know if Mirror’s Edge is actually a French game, but since it is based on that parkour stuff it has a certain “je ne sais quois” of coolness about it. More props to it for rocking a cyberpunk storyline.
Pop The Glock is the first Uffie song that I ever heard, and the video below from Mirror’s Edge reminded of it.
(Merci a Play Five pour le vid!)
Check out this wicked vid about Hip-Hop in the former communist East Germany (via Hurt You Bad) then listen to Li’l Kim “put it down in German” by covering Biggie’s Hypnotize with some German fella at her side.
“My first diary notes ‘84: I am really making progress doing the electric boogie.”
You cannot make that shit up. Nor can you make up the name for themselves: Automatic Freaszy Crew. Even they admit that ‘freaszy’ isn’t a word.
Expect to see it a lot in upcoming posts from 199X.
As a follow up to our earlier post about Pharrell, check out the video he made to promote the line of opulent jewelery he made with Louis Vuitton under the name Blason:
We Heart Stuff calls the line of bling “over-the-top” and “distasteful.” That’s kinda makes me want it more.
Also check out the Coco Rosie/Prada video that we covered earlier.

So I checked out the Cadence Weapon show in Toronto last Thursday, and have to say that I’m now a fan. I hadn’t heard anything by him, but he came recommended by the Persian Prince himself so for $12 at Lee’s Palace, how could I go wrong? I couldn’t, and part of the reason was because he reminds me of Tracy Morgan.
While the video for Real Estate is pretty good (thanks to The Tape for the find), the track is actually begging to be put over top of a re-purposed clips from Glengarry Glen Ross. If I had a video editing program, I’d probably do it myself.
But since I don’t, you might as well check out this 40 minute mix of house music “hosted” by Alec Baldwin clips from Glengarry (via the always-entertaining Canuckflack).

Anyways, I gotta dedicate this post to my boy Davey Boy Taylor holdin’ down the real estate game, Van-City style.
There’s more of Roland Pemberton (aka Cadence Weapon) on MySpace or his official site.
Man, after that earlier post about White Collar Wu-Tang and now this one, it feels like it is Take Your Rapper To Work Week or something.
As much as I hate to post a video with out a related audio file, I couldn’t resist this one:
LIGHTS - Drive My Soul (official music video)
According to a poster I walked by on College Street this morning, she’s going to be at the Mod Club on Friday. It’s a six pm show, so I don’t know if I can be bothered.
Frankly, I’d like to see Kelly play Michelle in a game of ping pong.
Daisy Daisy - Michelle Plays Ping Pong (Vicarious Bliss Remix)
AIR - Kelly Watch The Stars (MOOG Cookbook Remix)
(via Butter Team, who has a hilarious video for this song)
Official AIR site here and some cool shit by the guys that that did the Michelle video can be found here.

Maybe it is because I’m 1/4 Swedish, but from Snus to Espen, I love all things Scandinavian. It’s like there is something in the water over there that just makes stuff perfect and clean and beautiful.
It’s like I knew Lykke Li was Swedish the first time I heard her. Mostly, I can’t get enough of her song Little Bit (in all its remixed glory) but her other stuff is also pretty sweet.
Toronto Life says she’ll be at the moddy on October 24 and that tickets are $15. All the cool kids are going.
Lykke Li - Little Bit (CSS Remix)
Lykke Li - Little Bit (Klumpfisk Remix)
Lykke Li - Little Bit (Loving Hand Remix)
Lykke Li - I’m Good, I’m Gone (Black Kids Remix)
Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance (Chaise Marcel Remix)
Check out Lykke Li’s MySpace account or buy some of her songs on iTunes. Amazon even has her sweet little album “Youth Novels.” The Hype Machine has some more tracks from her.
If you still aren’t convinced, check out how gorgeous the video for Little Bit is and see if you don’t fall a little bit in love with her, too:
