Lykke Li + Loving Hand
I’m really beginning to warm up to Tim Goldsworthy’s production under the “Loving Hand” moniker. Similar to his last remix I posted, he’s taken a subtle little hints of rhythm in a rather emotionally austere song, thrown in some synths and those what I’m thinking are soon to be trademark horns, and you’ve got a [...]
Thurston Moore speaks out about “No Wave”
Remember that art book Thurston Moore co-authored a while back? Well webzine >Brightestyoungthings has posted a great interview that really fleshes out a lot more of the content in the book and as all well as shows off his unbelievably unpretentious charm. I mean, he doesn’t know who Chris Martin is? What isn’t awesome [...]
Park Hotell
I’ve kind of shifted focues from constantly championing what I’ve perceived as the next big thing and a week later the next bigger thing. I mean, the whole blogsphere must be frightened of making any musical prophecies after the Black Kids debable of 2008 as I’ve deemed it. That was the 9/11 of music blogging [...]
I like to watch you, crawl around
This blog was started for one purpose originally, before it bounded into a million other different area of interest and pursued a multitude of other, sometimes contrary, goals. I originally wanted to encapsulate and further the vision of what I though was a mix of progressive and contemporary culture in various forms. In another way [...]
LOVE PSYCHIDELICO
I guess I’ll deviate from my recent obsession with Shibuya-Kei for a second to write about LOVE PSYCHIDELICO, hailing from another facet of . They’ve already had quite a career back in Asia and even garnered quite a bit of attention on this side of the Pacific as well. Most of their previous reviews claimed [...]
Sebastien Grainger, Saddle Creek?
Baffling is the first word that comes to mind, and wasted seems to be the second. Whilst Jesse (MSTRKRFT) touted his techno around the globe months after Death From Above 1979 parted ways, the other half, Sebastien Grainger, has spent months crafting the perfect lo-fi funk jams. I always saw this as kind of a [...]
Bare with me.
I’m switching back to k2, everything should be back to normal, including some vague regular posting interval of sorts, thanks.
Jens Lekman…remixed?
I know it sounds a bit, preposterous, but it really works. I was obsessed with this song this spring, everyday I’d listen to it on repeat, jumping with joy every the chorus would crescendo to that sublime “Sippppping on the sweet nectar” line. The remix is about the exact opposite, running the vocals alongside a [...]

Iekeliene in the New York Times
Take note Agyness Laura, there is a line between quirky and repugnant. I love Iekeliene; read her blurb in the “Pulse” section of the New York Times here.

“It’s official”
It’s official.
The news is spreading all over Paris: He signed with LVMH for a men’s wear line called after his name. They are already looking for staff and interns (that’s how I learned the news).
He is supposed to show his first collection FW09-10, next winter for Paris men’s fashion week.
