“Learn body perfection from the perfect body”: the Hulk.

You can say what you will about Das Racist (”overrated, comedy hipster hop”, etc.), but the attention to detail and overall fun factor of their new video for ‘Who’s That? Brown’ is undeniable. Their second mixtape ‘Sit down, man’ will be produced by Mr. Diplodocus for Mad Decent. There’s an actual videogame to play, too.

Cum* VJ set.  Re-discovered this recently: be prepared to lose a full 30 minutes on this sweet pop culture blend.

We’re kicking off a new series of 10 questions to people whose stuff we really like. First up: Tame Impala.

Tame Impala are from Australia, make fuzz-rich garage psychedelica and dream pop with facemelting riffs: perfect driving music, strutting music, business time music, cooking music, make out music, rocking out music.. you know: good music.

We’ve posted about them before (HERE all the way back in Feb 2009. And HERE back in 2008 -courtesy of the Soulwax brotherhood).

Here’s my favourite Tame Impala Song:

TAME IMPALA, YOUR 10 QUESTIONS START NOW

1. What are you worried about these days?
An album coming out that sounds exactly like the one I’m working on.

2. What’s your vice?
Nasal spray, that nose clearing spray they tell you not to use for more than 3 days, been on that twice a day for a few months now. I just need to be able to smell the world or I freak out.

3. Favourite power ballad.
Take the Long Way Home – Supertramp

6. Tame Impala is here to save the world from…

Motivation

7. Favourite unsigned band.

Not sure if they’re signed, the singer of My Bee’s Garden gave me their album and it’s right up my dream pop alley.

8. What’s the weirdest compliment anyone ever made about your music?

“I love it, you don’t know what you’re doing, you don’t know what you’re doing, I love it”

Tom – Kasabian
9. Got any famous fans yet?
I’m not going to name drop! Except the last thing I said…

10. Favourite line to say goodbye:

“Don’t worry we tour a lot I’ll be back pretty soon, I think, maybe.”

Tame Impala, Half Full Glass of Wine

Yesterday we reported that we had it on good authority that H&M’s next collaborator would be Lanvin and its creative director Alber Elbaz.  And although we knew it was absolutely true (no talking about buzz or the other alleged collabs here) for all those doubters out there : H&M just confirmed the news.

But there’s an extra surprise…

(what + release dates + Alber Elbaz talking about The Dream after the jump)…Lucas Ossendrijver (Lanvin’s menswear designer) will also be involved in the project.

H&M said the collection would be unveiled to the public on November 2 via a film it will debut on its website.

In 200 stores worldwide on November 23.

Can’t wait!!!!

Here at KNOTORYUS we have been Cee Lo Green fans for a long long time.

You do not want to be at a party talking to LGF and me when “I’ll be Around” comes on. I don’t give a crap what CEO you are, you better start to get down…

And I know for sure Baloji upgraded us from “cool peeps” to “I really like them” when the three of us had a two hour long conversation about all things CLG.

I also do not care if these shirts are a tad on the corny side, I’m buying!

Fuck you and fuck her too!

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE!

+ UPDATE / CONFIRMED!

I am literally shaking in my (ok they’re looking a bit raggedy) Lanvin high tops as we speak.

Very reliable sources have revealed that H&M next collaborator will be non other than Lanvin and its creative director Alber Elbaz!

WWD :

“According to market sources, the Swedish fast-fashion giant will unveil a project with Lanvin and its creative director, Alber Elbaz, within the next week.

On Tuesday, H&M launched a viral video campaign on its Web site and YouTube to build curiosity about its annual holiday designer tie-up. A series of black-and-white videos features stereotypical fashion designer types: a man in a skinny dark suit; a woman in an outlandish blouse and chunky jewelry.

By midday Tuesday, H&M’s Facebook page was peppered with guesses — Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier and New York society dresser Carolina Herrera among them — posted by Web users.

While the camera never lingers on the faces long enough for recognition in the clips, the voice-over of designer musings, while electronically altered, are unmistakable Elbaz-isms. “Design is very important because it actually brings dream to our life,” says one.

The video ends with the date Sept. 9 — presumably when H&M will unveil details of its latest collaboration, which have ignited retail pandemonium annually since the retailer first partnered with Karl Lagerfeld in 2004. Other designers to have collaborated with H&M include Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli and Sonia Rykiel.

A project with Lanvin would be a coup for H&M, given Lanvin’s status as one of the fastest-growing designer firms in Europe, and Elbaz’s drawing power as a fashion personality.

Lanvin officials could not be reached for comment Tuesday night, nor could a spokeswoman for H&M in Stockholm or New York.”

This might be the first time in my life I will be queuing for something. So exciting!!

Yesterday was Michael Joseph Jackson’s birthday. A moment of silence is not the right way to remember him. This mixtape by J.Period seems a bit more appropriate.

‘Congratulations’ is a song about MGMT’s sudden fame and fortune (and the simple stock of half-assed guilt and waste that comes with it), so I guess the video is about all that, too. Dudes are carrying a giant, naked dying bird across the desert. It’s a beautiful bummer (which, incidently, would be a good song title I think). Debate at will.

Dead in the water
It’s not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city officials attend demonstrations
It’s hardly sink or swim
When all is well if the tickets sell

Out with the whimper
It’s not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
but all is lost if it’s never heard

But I’ve got someone to make reports
And tell me how my money’s spent
To book my stays and draw my blinds
So I can’t tell what’s really there
And all I need’s a great big congratulations

I’ll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems,
I’d rather dissolve
Than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
Steinways and Baldwins
you start with a simple stock
of all the waste and salt to taste

But damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up
“Congratulations”

Hova does the power clap and drops a verse on Swizzee’s beats. It’s whatch’all been waitin’ for ain’t it?

I am so glad Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix have found a distributor for their movie.

“I’m Still Here” will be released September 10, 2010.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

The official synopsis :

The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I’M STILL HERE is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I’M STILL HERE follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.

+ Phoenix is filmed while snorting coke off a prostitute’s breast.
