The Weeknd – House Of Balloons

I can not stop listening to this mixtape. Utter fucking talent, wisdom, brilliance and beauty. Young and yet unsigned ‘singer/songwriter’ cat From Toronto; that’s what they say. Easily record of the year so far; that’s what I say. And yes I really mean it.

Balinese ballerism

Shit, I never blogged about my recent trip to Bali. Couple snaps for yall:

Six Foot Seven Foot

Weezy’s epic “6’7′” ft Cory Gunz, from forthcoming The Carter IV now with official eye candy.

The flick’s a tiny bit awkward if you ask me, but c’mon son, it’s directed by Hype Williams, one of the most expensive (and most innovative) music video directors of the last 2 decades yall.

Manilamania

I’ve had my Philippines debut last week and it was glorious! O Philippines, you and your 7107 bonny islands. I already <3 you and your peoples, and I will be back asap. I have stories for days, but time is $, so you’ll have to consider yourself satisfied with a quick pic fix of my short yet worthwhile trip to Manila.

Gucci Mane x Sinden x Mad Decent

Honestly, Gucci Mane never really caught my attention. But stir in some of my favorite UK producers like Hudson Mohawke, Sinden, Mosca, Rustie, Scratcha DVA, Duke Dumont etc and I’m all over that shit. Gotta luv this.

Might get a cupcake tat on my forehead now.

“Gucci has been on my radar a long time – I’ve always waited with baited breath for the next tape to drop. To have the opportunity to curate a mixtape of his material and A&R the project is a dream gig and I knew that with the talent over here it would yield some really interesting results.” -Sinden

Originality ain’t easy

Nice one, Pow Wow HK (via Hypebeast). We (Pimpin Aint Easy & The Zonders) feel flattered~

Us in 2008:

Yall in 2011:

Haha..

PS We ain’t mad yo. It’s all <3. Nuff respect to Hypebeast, Pow Wow and Wu Yue. It’s just funny, that’s all.

Violin battle

I stumbled across this vid on the internetz yesterday and I can’t help but being utterly amazed. I’ve been quite a good fiddler as a youngster, learning to play the violin before I learned to properly walk and talk. However, I always thought it’s kinda ‘uncool’, so I quit before I turned a teenager and experimented with a bunch of different instruments before I eventually ended up as a turntablist (which obviously wasn’t too bad of a decision after all). Nuff respect to Nigel Kennedy and Miri Ben-Ari, but THIS is truly swagful violinism and on some next level 2011 live show shit IMO. Highly inspirational.

✞ HYPE NASTY IS DEAD ✞

Give it up for HYPE NASTY one last time and let’s all move on to bigger things. Amen.

 

Beijing NYE recap

Jeez, Beijing, why is you so effing frosty at the turn of the year. Many thanks to Bar Punk, The Opposite House, DJ Beware and Saul D and everyone who came out, for helping me cozy it up a bit with this massive NYE soirée in the basement of my (still) favorite hotel lately.
